First Entry! :3

Hello! My name is Thalia Ruiz, I've always found that movies have impacted my life. It's grew me closer to special people in my life and whenever I'm in a bad mood I'd put something on to enjoy in my free time. I'm drawn to action and sci-fi films, especially animation. I've always loved seeing the use of expressions and free-will you can do in animation films. The world of endless possibly and imagination is something I enjoy seeing. Such as the works produced from Studio Ghibli. They're such beautiful works of art as well as Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. The use of the style changes and perspective shots are so creatively brilliant. It has also allowed me to connect with someone I hold dearly to me, my favorite memory is watching it for the first time together and being able to see the second film in theaters. I strive to be able to learn to spend time documenting memories in this class, as my last year in high school, I'll be able to put myself in front of a camera and even record others in a manner of professionalism. 💜
