Meet Alexander

My name is Alexander Michael Trapp. I was born in Los Angeles on December 22nd, 1985. I grew up like many kids in the late 80s and 90s with video games, cartoons, and maybe one too many sugary cereals. I loved monster movies like Godzilla, King Kong, and went on to discover the many great stop motion animated creations of Ray Harryhausen, along with other giant characters like Gamera and Ultraman. All of this to say, that these science fiction characters helped my imagination to blossom, but the film series that opened my mind to story telling as a career path was Star Wars.

From then on out, I made attempts to break into Hollywood as a screenwriter, but none of those efforts panned out. I didn’t want to write what Hollywood was looking for. I wanted to make stories that came from my heart and soul. So I figured, rather than hoping someone would produce my ideas, I would create them myself.

I turned to animation in the year 2013. I found a website that allowed people like me, who had no traditional animation skills, to create new stories and see them come to life in ways I could only dream about before. Sadly that website no longer exists so I turned to other animation programs. Over the years I’ve also collaborated with other amazingly talented individuals to help them with their own story projects.

The purpose of this site will be to chart my journey with learning how to use Blender 3D to bring my new stories to fruition. I have other projects in the works too. From the comedic to the dramatic, and sometimes both at once! I used to end this section to invite my new viewers to go on a journey. But now I have a new mission statement. I invite you all reading this to watch as I make the dream real. The dream of new original ideas brought to life. The dream of creating projects in worlds that I am a fan of. And the dream of entertaining you all in the process.
