We love Hayatto and his totally unique style, and we're so happy to have him as our first ever MVP. We asked him to tell us more about his work...
When did you discover Vine and what did you like about it?
I discovered Vine in 2013, I started making animations at the same time. I felt as though animation was the "wordless world" and it was the best platform for me.
Were there any Viners in particular that you admired and are inspired by?
I’ve always admired and inspired all other animators, but among them, Pinot, Alicia Herber, Anne Horel, Meagan Cignoli, Johnny McHone. They're so talented and great artists.
Did you ever expect your Vines to be so successful?
No, but I hope that they will be enjoyed by everyone.
What are three things that make a successful Vine creator?
1. Don't give up.
2. Go on with your work.
3. Enjoy it from the bottom of your heart.
What made you decide to quit your job to pursue your Vine career?
Because I am happy if I can have many more people see and enjoy my animations!
What did your parents think?
I haven't told my parents about Vine, but I hope that one day they will find out about my work on their own.
Where do you think you are heading next?
I want to make few short films and music videos using animation.
