Submitting my Z-A Royale winner’s wish as “please let me put a beret on Scizor, thanks!”
One of the coolest, most talented people I’ve had the pleasure of working with, right here.
If you or anyone you know is looking for a tradigital 2d animator, I’d appreciate the chance. Looking for new mid-to-longer term projects mainly. Previews of some of my work here: camillecee.weebly.com
Reposts appreciated, with love, increasingly urgent anxiety and thanks!

Joypolis could never
In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999.
Here is the entire sequence.
