Noa Mac Donald is a 2D animator and mixed media artist based in Rotterdam. She has experience in a variety of different printing techniques. What drives her to animate is to understand motion, and the act of storytelling within movement. This is why dance is a huge inspiration for her. To tell a story without words, using just your body. In character animation there is so much you can convey with a good shrug or the blink of an eye. It's like telling a good joke, timing is everything.
For her graduation film she worked with two other classmates on a short film called ‘’Good Enough’’ a 2D animated short film about fear of failure and what it means to be good enough. Over the course of production she learned to embrace failure by incorporating vulnerable techniques. She wants to continue pursuing that approach where possible, allowing mistakes into her work where they make the work more unique. To make space for happy accidents and let them be part of the workflow.
