This last semester I took an Animation class where I had to develop a character and make an animation. It was pretty fun creating a character. I got inspired from the people around me... which where my two closest friends (and by closest, I mean roomates... and they're also my best friends). We've had so many conversations where we say crazy things like, "Marriage is modern-day slavery" or about how woman and men can be objectified, that I ended up creating this extreme feminist that ends up doing everything she once hated or thought. Think of Cecilia as a mix of Daria, myself and my friends.

It all started with this photo of my friend Stephania being a badass in New York.

After having the character in Anime Studio, I started creating the different scenarios where she was against bras, marriage, babies and dating. I mixed animation, photography and live action and edited the animation with Anime Studio and Premiere Pro.
