The Hydra Place

Hellu! I'm byvsen from Sweden! I work as a 3D animator both professionally and for my own personal projects! I've previously worked as a character animator for Planet of Lana 2, as well as doing some freelance work for Media Molecule and a short employment at Slugger Film.

I'm a huge enthusiast for old tech and always look for VCRs and interesting looking tech when walking through thrift stores. I love playing around with cassette tapes and recording onto VHS and back into digital. If you want your videos to have an authentic VHS PAL look, feel free to reach out to me!

Also a big fan of animated movies and cartoon dinosaurs and other critters. You Are Umasou is one of my favourite movies, as well as Land Before Time. I also have a soft spot for classic Pixar movies such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo.

I love playing games with my friends. Games such as PEAK, R.E.P.O. and Minecraft are my go-to's when playing with friends.

Glad to be a part of this forum! I really do wish for internet forums to make some sort of big comeback soon!

I still keep hearing "I'm Sture" as "I... am Sture" Minecraft Steve style despite he literally does not pronounce it like that in the video.

The same. This place is sort of laying some groundwork just in case a bunch of other places go sideways, or to dump critter projects and stuff and get away from the noise of social media. It's just pretty quiet since things are early and I'm not actively advertising currently. I'll someday probably set up XMPP or something in case Discord ever gets around to torpedoing itself.

I appreciate the Swedish ending shot of Finding Dory, as an English speaker.

Good to see you here Byvsen

Hey! Glad to see ya here Byvsen, always love seeing your inspiring works!

Man I really need to watch You Are Umasou, I've seen and heard so much about it but can't figure out where to see it!
Though Land Before Time, heck yeah that's an all time favorite...!

Aw yeah PEAK and REPO are such good times with friends, think REPO may have given me the most laughs too hah!

Hello there! Yeah, seeing these sorts of forums becoming a little more common would be a nice change in modern days! We'll see where it goes, haha!

Thanks for the welcome messages! <3

Hehe, maybe I could make him say something like that in the beginning of one of the Sture episodes! "Jag... heter STURE!!"

Someone had uploaded the full movie on YouTube, which was how I first saw it. Sadly the video has been taken down, but I think you should be able to find it just by searching around on the internetz!
