ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Katie Bianchini
May 7, 2021
Bellwood-Antis freshman Katie Bianchini is well known for her creativity in the virtual world.
She has created her own YouTube channel, with content featuring her stop-motion animations. She creates her animations through a creator app and an editing app called Gacha Club and Kinemaster, respectively.
Katie doesn’t have big future plans for her channel but she does plan to keep it going as a hobby. After all, she did reach her goal of 1,000 subscribers, which is a pretty good number in the YouTube community, so her video’s now are just for fun.
Her overall inspiration for starting her channel was seeing other people create video’s just like hers, which she thought would be interesting. She began to mess around with characters she made and make them move, and that’s when she created her first mini stories, and she made her first videos that turned into a success.
Her favorite project she has worked on so far this year is one of her larger stop-motion projects. She had to take over 800 plus screenshots, but despite the amount of work she does, she said it’s satisfying for her to see how many people like her videos that are 10 plus minutes long. She enjoys spending most of her time at home replying and liking comments.
Overall, Katie has created her own success that will give her plenty of creativity and keep her on her toes.
