As an animator and creator, I am constantly reviewing my earlier work critically.
I am continuously considering what I could have done differently and how I can do better at what I already do. The animated series Neenja that I made in 2007 is one of my earlier endeavors that I recall with a mixture of pride and nostalgia.
Neenja tells the tale of Harut, a lonely cab driver from Armenia who learns he is the mighty ninja chosen 8,000 years ago. He is trained by his new Master, a video store owner, and must battle a villain known as The Creator who summons monsters through the power of a magical Celtic book.
Harut refers to himself as Neenja since he has trouble pronouncing the term "ninja."
I was still learning the ins and outs of animation and storytelling when I first made Neenja.
In an effort to develop my unique artistic voice, I was experimenting with various methods and aesthetics.
If I were to rewrite the series today, I could see all the areas where I might have done better and the things I would do differently. I am nevertheless very proud of the work I produced at the time, despite its shortcomings.
Neenja was a significant milestone in my development as an animator and storyteller.
It helped me realize the significance of trying new things, the benefit of learning from my failures, and the strength of persistence. Additionally, it taught me how to create an engaging narrative with a distinct and varied character.
By exposing Neenja to a larger audience, I aim to encourage other animators and creators to be bold with their work and try new things. Even if you look back on your previous efforts critically, keep in mind that you should also be proud of what you were able to do and the advancement you made.
I hope you will enjoy the Neenja animation series that I have published on YouTube.
I'd be interested in hearing any feedback or suggestions you may have.
