By the by, I've created a short Bionicle animation! This was done in Blender to show off my Ehli project, working to recreate a few less-than traditional building and damage methods. Check it out! ^^
As you all probably know, Bo now has 0 posts on his Instagram account, and the countdown was nothing but a glitch in the system. Oh well.
But fear not, I bring you NEW Bo-related content in the form of a long-awaited interview with the Lego Bo master himself, James Cawood!
If you've seen Bezos I or Goodbye Bo in toy brick form on YouTube, then you've definitely seen his work. And yes, this is the fifth of my five favorite Inside-focused videos online in 2022 (which you can read about here).
Bucket list goal achieved! 🙌
In the interview, James and I chat about his fascinating career as a YouTuber creator—he started uploading videos when he was under 10 years old!—and his current work as a South African/UK filmmaker.
This is one of my favorite pieces (James has led a truly fascinating life in his 20 years on this planet), and I hope you like reading it as much as I did conducting the interview.
Enjoy the new Bo content, and stay tuned for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔
Batman turned 85 over the weekend, and this month is also the 18th anniversary of LEGO Batman. What better time to revisit one of my favorite Bat-builds — this wonderfully wacky statue from our "Adventures of Max" series, designed by @getwithamnow 🦇❤️
It's about a supermarket and there are lesbians and other queer people and also timothée chalamet is there (my synopsis of the film)
The film is in german but english subtitles are provided
read more for an actual attempt at a synopsis and content warnings
Anders, a young trans man leaves his parents because they won't accept him as their son. After he notices the pride flags outside the supermarket owned by lesbian couple Kamille and Charlotte, he sees something he probably shouldn't have (involving Timothée Chalamet) and finds his place in the queer community.
Things aren't perfect though. There's a landlord who threatens to have the police evict the supermarket lesbians by friday if they can't procure the rent and a non-accessible second floor in the barn Anders moves into, that prevents another potential roommate from living there.
Content Warnings: cartoon violence, there are cops, some transphobia in flashbacks and ableism is one of the topics of the film
This was mostly for practicing my editing skills, namely for sound effects
I also built a setup which connects both a plate for minifigures to walk on and my phone to stand still, allowing for more fluid shots
As for the editing, I did what I could using the BBC sound effects (which is free to use, and rather easy to navigate), but there is for sure room for improvement
