A small portion of the things I filmed, edited, and color corrected between January 2008 and December 2008.

(My animations felt out of place, so I'll make a separate reel for them.)

Thanks Sebby, for the motion graphic at the end <3

Did this all really happen in 2008? Ah, the memories.
Karen Abad ♥s Dinosaurs. 9 months ago

I know, right? Crazy. I should've just turned in my Memory Bank of my year to the school instead of a demo reel. I felt like that's a more accurate representation of my year. Haha.

Karen Abad ♥s Dinosaurs. 9 months ago

Thump thump...you like how i looped the song a couple times mid way? I had too much footage that it wouldn't fit on the length of the original song. Ideally I would've liked an instrumental version of anthems of a 17...blah blah.

but this works.
