    My film is about a kid trying to break into a bank with a teleporter, but every time he tries he gets it wrong. I am 10 years old and have been making VFX videos for almost a year. I used my GoPro to create my film and edited it with HitFilm 3 Express.

    I take raw video footage and, with the help of a computer, draw out the background.Afterward, I trace (rotoscope) each frame, one-by-one, to create my final film.

    I filmed myself standing in a field in various stages of undress while my friends threw clothes at me. The resulting footage was edited to create a public service announcement with a twist!
