About me:
My name is Jess Rode and I'm a young animator looking to gain experience and expand my skillset. I adore creative ideas and storytelling and am working towards being able to express them both in 2D animation, character design and visual art.
While film and tv is what I’m mainly working towards to take part in, creating 2D animations for the gaming industry and alike are all passionate goals for me.
Creative productions that have inspired my animation journey the most is Steven Universe (2013), Cowboy Bebop (1998), Sailor Moon (1992) and indie video-game series, Cuphead (2017). While my inspirations slightly vary in terms of tone, a core theme that inspires me is expression and displaying emotion. Whether it’s an animation for children or for older audiences, I want a strong sense of emotion to be displayed in my work.
