You might be wondering, "Who is this Alisia? I wanna know stuff about her. The good stuff.” Well, it’s your lucky day. Here's some stuff about me:

Let’s start with the academic stuff. As you might have noticed, I’m an animation illustration student with an emphasis in animation. I really enjoy the process of film making and, if I’m not an animator, I’d like to get into the production side of things. I’d love to direct a short live action film more than anything. I love movies and the whole idea of hundreds of people working together to create a single, unified piece of art. The thought of it is totally mind blowing to me! That is why I’m going to work in the film industry someday soon . But until then, I’ll be busying myself with ani128b, ani118b and this wonderful PHYS123 class!

If I wasn't an animator, I’d be a geologist (Archeologist? I thought they were the ones who look for fossils, but maybe I’m wrong). I’ve taken a few classes on the subject, and I LOVED them all. If it weren't for all that math I’d be out uncovering fossils right now!

As far as extracurricular things, I LOVE dancing and going to raves and concerts. I like to draw and paint, and I really enjoy making stuff. I like to decorate and re-decorate my house, make costumes, sew, and bedazzle! I also enjoy being outside and running around in the wilderness. Canoeing and swimming bring me a lot of joy as well.

And if you REALLY wanna know more about me, here's the results to a personality test i recently took:

Time for the mini portfolio! 
Here are some some old final projects from past animation classes. The first video is traditionally animated and from ani115 and the following image is a simple turn around for the character Goldie who appears in the video. The turn around was also done for ani115



This is just an example of my own personal style. I love to draw women and usually women in outlandish or weird costumes


Finally, i just thought id include my final animation from ani114 from a few years back. At the time this animation was a major successes for me and was definitely a stepping stone for me as an animator although it looks a bit goofy today

Just so you know what i look like, here's me (center) with some fellow animation/illustration members at the short film Jimmy Loves Juice wrap party!

Welcome to my first real blog! My name is Alisia Munoz and I am an SJSU animation illustration student finishing up my 6th year (yikes, i know) This particular blog will be following my adventures through a current class im taking called Physics of animation.  Our first assignment (drum roll) make a blog! Done and done.
