Showreel Update - 3rd Edition
This is a reflection of my growth in this creative field. With every creation, my obsession with motion design increases. Let us do great work together this year. Cheers.

For motion designer and art director @thechizzyjames, animation began with a childhood curiosity about moving graphics on television.
Today, he transforms ideas into compelling visual experiences through 3D animation, motion graphics, and brand design.

Be like say Yankee dey use jazz on some Africans o, especially Nigerians 😂 because hold up. We are still in 2026, the same year the United States abducted the sitting president of an oil-rich country on charges whose legal basis and jurisdiction have been virtually nonexistent.
And then they moved their capitalists in to share the spoils. But the same Africans saying shit about China today applauded the US for being so cool and powerful. The entire episode was like sports to them; it didn’t even generate any moral outrage.
Venezuelan lives were lost in that operation, with little public accountability for those killed. We don’t even know all their names. They abducted the man and his wife and are now attempting to prosecute them despite serious questions about the legality of the operation and the jurisdiction of American courts.
They have also blockaded Cuba and severely restricted its access to oil supplies, worsening an already desperate electricity crisis. People are dying in Cuban hospitals amid power shortages. And which country has stepped forward with food, oil and solar panels to help cushion the effects of this crisis? Fucking China.
As if that weren’t enough, this same country has bombed Iran, killed its Supreme Leader, and carried out strikes, double-tapped a girls’ school, killing 168 children.
And that’s before we get into the treatment of people from certain countries during the World Cup, the humiliation and discrimination some visitors have experienced just for the country they come from, or the people who have faced punishment, professional consequences and financial exclusion for speaking out against what is happening in Gaza. These are all apparently minor inconveniences, right?
Now, after all of this, what exactly has China done to earn its place as the ultimate global monster that Africans, in particular, must be terrified of?
Its companies withdrew commercial arrangements involving Kylian Mbappé and La Liga after he unwittingly referred to China’s founding leader as a dictator.
They didn’t abduct him, imprison him or threaten his life. They withdrew their own commercial partnerships. That’s essentially what happened.
And somehow, this is the great moral emergency that has sent sections of the African internet into a frenzy.
Meanwhile, you have Africans whose standard of living would be considerably worse without Chinese investment, infrastructure, affordable technology and manufacturing. Some of you would be struggling to keep hospitals, businesses and homes powered without those relatively affordable Chinese solar products. Do you people ever stop to think about the contradictions in your own arguments?
Why are you so eager to enlist in a propaganda campaign against countries whose economic partnerships are helping address some of your most basic developmental challenges?
Why are you so willing to adopt the anxieties and geopolitical priorities of a country that has historically and contemporarily treated much of your continent as nothing but just an arena for its own strategic interests?🤦🏾♂️
We were designed to focus on the earth. Whatever afterlife exists is as much my business as my coming here was.

They always show themselves.
Every single time.
Like clockwork.
No matter how long the performance, inevitably, they will mark attendance.
Las las, we all know exactly what we are doing in this space.
Make I continue my revolutionary work.
It's just too many productive hands unplugged from our collective progress for a nation such as ours.
The best slave is the one armed with the tools to keep himself a slave. Very efficient, very cost effective. There is the door. No, it is a wall. There is the wall, no it is a door. Then he runs into the wall and dies. The end.
Everything within my control, I will do. But there's always that driver, that builder, that vendor, that somebody whose entire world is in a freefall and cares little of bashing into you on their way to the end.
Give up on your billionaire dreams or get ready to walk up a mountain of bodies to make that happen, that is if you don't eventually join the landfill yourself.
To be born and immediately accused of an original sin is the first religious debt that would launch a lifetime of cleansing and all the fees that come with the service.

This is the kind of "opposition" Nigerians love. Sue the presidency in a court that is under the authority of the Chief Justice who is appointed by the presidency.
1,000 motion, 0 movement.
If you tell them that they'd get a much bigger result if they came out in numbers and blockaded the US embassy in Abuja like the Nigeriens did the French embassy in Niamey 3 years ago, they'll tell you "Why don't you come to Nigeria and do it yourself? CIA man!"
Make una continue to dey whine una selves. Continue to "hold your leaders accountable" by suing them in Kekere-Ekun's court, and "voting them out" with an INEC that receives funding from the US government under a commissioner that is an APC member.
And when it doesn't work, do it again. If it didn't work the first 569,000 times you already did it, try it another 697,000,000 times. When you're reaching the end of the 55 years you are statically likely to survive as a Nigerian and you're finally realising nothing has changed, instead of telling your kids to do the opposite of what you did, tell them "nIgEriA iS cUrSed, dO aNythInG yOu cAn tO mOvE tO cAnaDa".
Very wise people, Nigerians. 🥲
The ants in the bottle that got shook only know how to hold each other accountable but not the hand. The hand gets a free pass.
We always have something to say about churches because they always have something to say about everything. The power they wield permeates everything from your sleeping arrangement to refusing blood donations that would have kept your mother alive.
Perhaps we are the ones wrestling with good and evil while the entity responsible for everything just wants you fully engaged with the business of existence.
If religion didn't make large populations docile and predictable, we would treat good and evil as the assets that they are in ruthlessly chasing after our collective interests.
I used to have short bursts of visions where a large wet blanket falls slowly across Nigeria. Thick and heavy, it descends on our heads. We adapt, crouch and move forward under the weight till the blanket finally rests on us, spreading us flat in the gutters so we squirm and navigate like maggots.
It makes no sense to me why the average discourse among Nigerian youths is sport. Like cancer patients obsessed with bubble wraps. Fgs you're literally burning in hell. We should all be firemen.
