Mi abuela loves this drawing I did, I laminated it and gave it to her when we had brunch back in 2022. She was so delighted, she showed it off to our waitress after paying the check, loudly saying, “Look what my granddaughter drew!” I was embarrassed and very happy, a memory I’ll cherish forever 💖

I was blessed with being assigned a Lucifer and Charlie sequence! My strongest suit is character acting, but this was also a little treat for me since the directors know VERY WELL how much I love Luci (thank you Viv 🫣). I got to have a lot of fun with their facial and body expressions!

I was in charge of boarding Charlie’s phone call sequence! It was fun playing with the camera for this assignment. Whenever she sounded more optimistic or certain, the camera is closer to her. When she sounds unsure or defeated, the camera pulls further from her!

I GOT TO BOARD A #Chaggie SEQUENCE!! I love these two so much, you can imagine my excitement when I learned I was working on this part of the episode ♡⋆ ˚｡⋆ Another dialogue scene and I got to have fun with both—and KeeKee’s— of their acting.

Another big sequence I got to board for this episode was 🎶 Once We Get Up There 🎶 but before we get to that, I’d love to breakdown the dialogue exchange leading up to it first! Had fun with the pacing and acting for the Vees and THIS was what made me love the triple threat even more ❤️💙💜

First song I got to board for Season 2 is "Once We Get Up There." This was a turning point for honing my cinematography skills and seeing what I can do with the materials provided for me. It also solidified my appreciation for the Vees. (🧵) #hazbinhotel
