The expressions on the second one are so full of life and do such an amazing job of capturing the character's feelings. 10/10

I love the second shot the expressions are just too good!

The second shot is hilarious and the acting is amazing! Where is the audio from?

[therareemerald]

0:19 is such a good animation!
Here’s why:
I like how at 0:22 she nonverbally stops the filer just to talk
0:23 the hair flip is so good! I like how right after that she opens her eyes SO wide
And I like how 0:25 her eyes are squinting but then when she does that thing with her mouth, they get big.
And at 0:27 it’s cool that she raises her bottom eye lids
0:30 is nice how she goes from happily blinking to angry.
And lastly how she at 0:34 nonverbally tells the filer to keep working

saRAH, haha that one is really good!! The details on her expressions are awesome!

[dreaming_destiny]

Okay but no one is talking about the first animation, it’s really good! I would love to see a series on a Vampire family! Also the fourth one looks like it’s from a movie!

I come back every time for “SA-RUH” never gets old. Every time anyone talks about astrology this lives in mind rent free. I just wish I knew where the sound bite was from. So flipping good.

[applejackmccrack]

yours were my favorites on that compilation of all the students 😂😂

[ameanabrishamcar]

Amazing work Catarina, I can't count how many times I've watched that second shot. Such a funny scene and amazing story poses. Amazing work overall!

[Dtoons]

Every few months or so, I like to revisit the second clip. It's just so funny with great character acting!

[RoughDonut]

You are extremely inspiring!
When i was watching the Animschool reel, your shot with the blonde girl was the one that stood out to me from all the rest! I wish i could become as good as you ! I am planning on enrolling at Animschool soon !

[genismpgmp]

The fisrt two shots are absolutelly brilliant, I really think you will do well on the industry

[charlesjoshi]

My fav animation reel moment "Sara!" 👏👏👏👏 Awesome work!!!!

[haley]

Lmao that astrology girl had me cry laughing “sarahhhh!”😂

[newtonvitas]

the saRAH clip is living in my brain rent-free lmao

[therareemerald]

I’m so obsessed with this too!!! I can tell u worked very hard on it and it’s beautiful!!! I also forgot to say in the second one her shirt is very cool! I like how it has stars!

Idk why it only has 256 views. It should have way more!

But still, it’s also cool that this has 0 dislikes!!

And it has as much likes as how much letters are in the Russian alphabet which is good! (I’m currently learning that language so..) but still this deserves more than 33 likes.

The first two are GOOD. I wish there was a movie for the first one. The girl was so cute

[LillianYoung]

2 people are jealous. Who could downvote this? Brilliant work, Catarina. Thumbs up!!!

[DMartinez]

That Sara clip is sooo good! :) Awesome animation, felt the character come to life

[matsupnad]

It feels like you hire this actor and direct them so well. Then it's the way your animation express so much and precise body language more than what's done in reality. I love it.
