my journey to becoming a filmmaker - the story so far

the 49th video i'd finished ended up helping me reach an enormous milestone 3 years in the making. It was the first video I'd ever been paid for and this being my 50th video ever, i thought i would tell that story and try turning it into something special.
initially inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (before realising my abilities were not quite there yet lol)
