My name is Joyvel Osorio, I started Joyplanes back in 2016 when I was finally able to settle some place and practice my hobby again, my passion for building and flying radio controlled airplanes got mixed with my other passion of making videos, and Joyplanes was born, it then evolved into creating explanation videos in high quality animated format, and now this is mainly what Joyplanes is about. If I say that I love flying machines and that I’m really passionate about them, I still feel that those words are not enough to convey my big passion for the world of aviation. My other passion, filmmaking and animation is just perfect to create this unicorn called Joyplanes.
Building them takes a lot of time a dedication, videos like these take too long and a lot of work, some YouTubers have managed to consistently create amazing machines and make videos about them, where I live (Ireland) the weather is not great, also the lack of clubs a a component. It was getting increasingly difficult to create videos about RC airplanes, so much that it wasn’t fun anymore, yet making animations and explaining how these beautiful machines work was incredibly rewarding for me.
Joyplanes was briefly a registered company in Irealnd and failed in less than a year, the idea was to sell online courses, model airplanes kits and related things, it was extremely overwhelming, I learned a lot of lessons and at the same time I developed into another branch of my passion, the animation side. Pilot Institute contacted me at the time to make some works for them as a freelancer, I loved them and they loved me. About 3 years later I’m a full time contractor for Pilot Institute creating the most amazing works for them including animation, and VR assets for teaching real pilots.
It’s funny how you can end up having your dream job if you’re passionate enough.
