A huge thanks to everyone who watched our recent animated fan film, Beeg Bug! https://youtu.be/EbyWMRyBrkY We just reached 500 views on YouTube! This is the product of a four-year endeavor to see if I can actually make a 3D animated film using only free/open source software, on a laptop, by myself. This is an experimental film that I started to see whether or not I can make a 3D animated film. With characters and environment that I designed, modeled and prepared for animation. Also doing the animations myself, especially with characters interacting with each other. How to handle the physics simulations(hair, cloth, etc.) Lighting, Rendering, Compositing and Editing. Adding sound and music just telling a story through 3D animation. This is also a fan adaptation of a portion of the book, Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. I decided to do this experiment using an existing story because I don't really want to risk my own original stuff for it. 😅 So I took a big risk on this one without risking too much. At the same time bringing to life a story that I love! The mission was to know how to take a story from script into a finished 3D animated film. Figure out the technical stuff and also enduring the labor of a 3D animation production. And I believe I fulfilled that mission. I learned A LOT with this one and I can honestly say that if I were to do this again with the amount of knowledge I have now, I could do it in half the time. And yep, there's definitely still room to grow! I've shared everything about this film, since I started its creation through a series of videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6knnwMF9fRd4HMVp8I1n-v9oxFMOSpXW This is a fan 3D animated film based on some events from the book Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins.

I wanted to say that under no circumstances would I have given men the chance of saying that I sought money under the pretext of seeking something else.

“Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces–and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper–love her, love her, love her!”

— Charles Dickens, from Great Expectations (Penguin Classics, 2002)

“He gathered me near his heart. I was full of faults: he took them and me all home.”

Charlotte Brontë, “Villette”

[welivebreathewordss]

It will never be not amusing to me how Charlotte Brontë picks up your expectations of wholesome romance and uncomplicated happy endings, weighs them idly, sighs, shrugs, and smacks you upside the head with them.

Lucy Snowe doesn’t say ‘I love you’, she says 'I honoured him with a sincerity of esteem which made my heart ache,’ and I think that’s beautiful.

Villette. You will hate Lucy Snowe. She will remind you of yourself. The writing is hard to get through but I feel like that’s on purpose, because it’s hard for Lucy to get through her life. She doesn’t tell us about her tragic back story. She doesn’t tell us anything that we actually want to know. She is an emotional mess and the book lacks plot but it is so unique in it’s style and protagonist, it starts to hurt. Villette is not all tragedy. It made me howl with laughter at 4 in the morning. The reader almost falls in love alongside Lucy, almost changes their opinion of the people in her society as she does. We can never entirely trust the narration of Lucy Snowe and at times feel a disconnect to her grief as she never fully submits to it. I guess what Villette taught me is that the qualities that we deem to be most important: bravery, independence, selflessness, the ability to be solitary are not as important as they seem. Sometimes, they can be damaging. We must allow ourselves to be human and weak. To be vulnerable. We must take our chances.
