My real name is George but I go by "wavetro" online. I'm from the United States. 🇺🇸
I used to make 3D animations for the internet. Nowadays I post various other videos.
I only do this for fun.
🍼 1999 - Hopped off the battle bus.
💻 2001 - I shit you not, my first word was "computer."
🐤 2005 - Made comics in MS Paint and PowerPoint as a drooling child.
🌐 2007 - Watched my first ever YouTube video and also got introduced into making websites with the free Wordpress blog builder. I picked the username "coolernow123" because I thought it sounded cool.
📀 2008 - A friend introduced me to filming movies with my mom's point-and-shoot camera and editing them with Windows Movie Maker. I made lots of plush videos and burned them on blank DVDs for my family to watch.
🎬 2010 - Discovered stop-motion animation from an iCarly episode and posted my first-ever internet video via the website for Gogo's Crazy Bones, the toy series that starred in the video.
▶️ 2011 - Registered my first YouTube channel "coolernow123" after the old Gogo's website was shut down.
2012 - Went on a crazy journey of building a niche but super-dedicated fanbase of 1,000+ Gogo's stopmotion lovers surrounding the adventures of Angiru, Fist, and Codi. To put the impact of this series into perspective, people kept asking me to return to coolernow123 (or made similar videos) for the next decade. Holy shit.
📦 2014 - Grew tired of stopmotions as I entered high school. I ended them and started learning Blender to turn Angiru, Fist, and Codi into a 3D-animated show called idiots.exe. This is when "RobotUnderscore" was born.
2015 - This second username and YouTube channel was my personal dark age. I spent many years trying to prove to myself I didn't peak at coolernow123 with ambitious 3D-animated projects. Nothing I did really took off, and I was ultimately very unhappy.
⚰️ 2018 - Killed the channel and continued to make other artworks outside of YouTube for a while. (This was the peak of my 3D abilities.) But I still felt creatively unfulfilled, and ended the year with the RobotUnderscore username completely retired.
💡 2019 - Andy and Bulb, the only episode of Cavefolder, was created while I was completely isolated from the larger internet. But due to sudden (beneficial) changes to YouTube and Blender, I decided to return to the public eye once I finished a few more animations. "wavetro" was born.
2020 - Having now returned on a third and final username/channel, I kept experimenting with different 3D projects until I struck gold with "food cart" (which evolved from "i'm eating goldfish.") Despite the shitshow it was for everyone else, this was one of the best years of my life because it was when I finally discovered Stickmen 2020. The rest was history.
🎓 2021 - After concluding Stickmen 2020 at the show's height, I decided to take the year off to focus on finishing college and finding a job, while occasionally posting random videos on some offshoot second channel called JINJO GAMING.
🕹️ 2022 - Released the final two videos of my one-man 3D animation career, and also posted an embarassing quitting video that I've since hidden. I also briefly experimented with Babylon.js to make browser games.
🧳 2023 - Moved out of my parents' house and across the country in search of cheap rent, posting various random videos and experimenting with other art forms along the way.
