Navigating Challenges and Triumphs in Pursuing My Passion for Animation

Written by Feyza Poyraz on Mon Apr 08 2024

It's been quite a journey, navigating the challenges and triumphs in pursuing my passion for animation. From the moment I set foot in Başkent Üniversitesi to study Çizgi Film ve Animasyon, I knew that this path wouldn't be easy. But it was a path that called out to me, beckoning me with its promise of creativity and storytelling.

The early days were filled with excitement and wonder as I delved into the world of animation. Learning about character design, storyboarding, and motion graphics opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for me. The late nights spent sketching out ideas or perfecting keyframes felt like moments suspended in time.

But along with the highs came the lows - moments when self-doubt crept in or deadlines loomed ominously overhead. There were times when it felt like my creativity had dried up, leaving me staring blankly at a canvas or screen without any inspiration striking.

Yet through it all, there was an unshakeable determination within me to push forward and overcome whatever obstacles stood in my way. Whether it was mastering new software techniques or seeking feedback from professors and peers alike, every setback only fueled my desire to improve and grow as an animator.

And then came those moments of pure joy - seeing an animated sequence come together seamlessly, receiving praise for a project well done, or simply losing myself in the sheer magic of bringing characters to life on screen. These were the triumphs that made all the hard work worth it; reminders that this was more than just a career path - it was a calling.

As I continue on this journey towards realizing my dreams as an animator, I know there will be more challenges ahead waiting to test my resolve. But armed with passion, perseverance,and unwavering belief in myself,I am readyto face whatever comesmyway.Iwill keep pushing boundaries,pushingmyselftopushharderandreachnewheightsintheever-evolvingworldofanimation.Thisismyjourney,thisismypath,andIamreadytotakeontheworldwithallthecreativityanddeterminationIpossess.Bringiton,challenges-Ifearlesslyembraceyouknowingthatinyourmidstliesopportunityforgrowthfortransformationforthestorieswaitingtobetoldinanewlight.Andso,IpressontowardsanimatingtheworldinawaythatonlyFeyzaPoyrazcan!
