My name is Norma V Toraya and the species of rabbitfish before you is called a "Crankbunny". I live in NYC and work as an animator. People hire me to make them commercials, tv intros, music videos, etc. I also work on my own personal films. I've lived in a bunch of places. I have a big finearts and film/animation backgound - yet ironically I have a fear of movie theatres. My work is a layering of traditional techniques like hand drawn animation, under-the-camera, pixilation / stop-motion with a digital mishmosh of live-action compositing. It's called "smushing". I'm a big fan of instinct. My friends and family all share the same fustration of not being able to get ahold of me - go figure. Excerpt from the fancy bio - "Some things in life are slick, polished and blatantly obvious. But for Norma V. Toraya, who's also known as Crankbunny, these are exactly the things she shies away from. Instead, she's more inclined to explore timeless concepts like subtly, curiousity, texture and awkwardness. Her hand-drawn and computer-animated creations are often described as dark, sometimes noir and always magical."
