I need a whole movie with just the Sa-RUH-girl and her moonsign antics. GOOD LORD

[@tyriquesmith8850]

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

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you! :D

[@sullsa5443]

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

[@CRodriguesAnim]

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

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

[@therareemerald506]

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

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you so much! :D

[@ameanabrishamcar908]

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!

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you! :D

[@dreaming_destiny675]

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!

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you!

[@goldenpolarbear6037]

I know right! Does anyone know if the audio was from something or was made just for this?

[@katholeenloveit8923]

It made me laugh so hard!!!! Same with the fourth. I want more

[@applejackmccrack5383]

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

[@LEELOLKH]

Omg this is so well done

[@charlesjoshi5154]

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

[@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 !

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you so much! Animschool is great you will love it!

[@LillianYoung2727]

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

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you so much! :D

[@genismpgmp8809]

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

[@therareemerald506]

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.

[@Chestnutcow]

The last one was absolutely darling

[@matsupnad1127]

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.

[@newtonvitas5633]

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

[@haley7571]

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

[@zarartss]

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

[@NicaArts]

I need you to understand I GENUINELY think of Sa-RUH every single day. It's living rent free in my brain constantly

[@AngieFawx]

I saw the first one on AnimSchool, awesome work on all of them!

[@3DMartinez]

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

[@rexildur3266]

SaaWahh, I can't stop thinking about that word ever since I saw your shot on Animschool, Amazing work Sis!

Second shot was amazing..... sahrahhhh the expression you killed it.

[@suzyroseblossom]

I LOVED the first one so much

[@glendy_bluebird2]

The second one is amazing💖

[@yveon4034]

And I was like saRAH!

[@jvstAsYouAre]

I friggin love this so much

[@pablosantander5739]

Beautiful work. The first one is perfect for a movie, but the second one (with the averagefashionblogger's audio) is like magic, transmutation of an audio to something much more alive; in instagram, in the process, before the finished light, I can see better the expressions, overmore for the cheeks,the finished version is softer. I love both. And I like the last short too. Thanks for share your process work. The models are beautiful too, with a lot of personality, I like the vampire mother.

[@cindyespindola4946]

My two favourite clips from the 2021 animSchool showcase video are yours I love them 😁, but all your reel looks great!!

[@NeroForte_]

when did you start learning animation, I mean its inspiring to see such Extraordinary amazing perfect animations you do

[@Xyl8phony]

Wow great job! I keep seeing the second one in ads lol. Just a question, were you given these sounds or did you create them yourself?

ah yes, SAH RUH!

[@aanshiarruk946]

hey are you aware they're using this in the ad for the school now? I was so confused and amused that I wanted to share the video but I had to come track it down lol

[@aanshiarruk946]

the Sarah girl part I mean

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Hey!! Thanks for letting me know, you're the second person messaging me about this but because I animated this shot in one of their classes and used their rigs I assume they are allowed to use it for advertisement? But correct me if that's not true, thanks so much! @@aanshiarruk946

[@deepeshdhakar266]

Really Impressive

*Too funny! Where is the audio of the second skit from? XD*

[@CRodriguesAnim]

From instagram, @averagefashionblogger, she is really funny!

[@darkknight4353]

In anim school. the models are provided for practice or you have to sculpt them retopologize them and rig them also? Great work btw..i have been hooked up with this animations

[@CRodriguesAnim]

Thank you so much! You have a library of rigs ready to animate if you select one of the animation courses. They also provide model and rig courses if you would prefer that route.

[@monikaouellette2259]

I know this is short but I’m already hooked, I wanna know the back story why he’s sad mad, they’re vampires, and the plot I’m hooked I need more
