The Door - A Center of Alternatives’ Post

A powerful story told well will connect with you at a soul level… Storytelling at its finest yesterday at the Edward Scissorhands ✂️ ballet 🩰 Not a word spoken but the audience were gripped to their seats and lots of tears shed throughout (me included 😢) It’s one of my favourite films of all time but the ballet took it to another level - I was in awe Here are 5 personal reflections from this incredible performance about acceptance, identity, & compassion 🎭 1. Embrace your uniqueness and differences - celebrate your individuality and appreciate the beauty in what makes you different. Rather than conforming, embrace your quirks and find your own place in the world 2. Compassion transforms lives. Fact - the power of empathy and understanding can transform lives. Extend kindness to those who seem different or misunderstood. Everyone carries their own burdens and stories 3. Adaptability and resilience - life will throw curveballs your way so resilience is essential. Learn to pivot, find creative solutions, and keep moving FORWARD despite adversity 4 Appearances can deceive: - look beyond surface-level perfection and appreciate the complexities within ourselves and others. True beauty lies in authenticity and vulnerability 5. Love conquers all: - love doesn’t always follow conventional norms; it can bridge gaps and defy expectations. Cherish love wherever we find it, even if it defies societal norms ❓ anyone else out there ia fan of this movie? Have you seen Matthew Bourne’s adaptation in the ballet? 🩰 #sundayvibes #ballet #theatre #embraceuniqeness #edwardscissorhands https://lnkd.in/efpYyJPF - watch this ☺️

What Will F*ck Mizhqua Over As part of our stop-motion course, we were tasked with making a Dragonframe stop-motion papercraft animation of ourselves that included a head turn. My main concept was the sheer (un)luck that I possess. This was portrayed in a gameshow way, with me as the unwilling contestant. I experimented with elevation and layering for this assignment. I cut up small card squares and stacked them on top of each other in varying amounts to have different elevations. I then glued the respective stack of squares for each individual paper piece. This gave my character and pieces a lovely shadow and depth. Funnily enough, there were a ton of things that truly did go wrong during the making of this short animation. A few of these were: setting my assets on fire, having my files corrupt, camera errors, and Dragonframe refusing to let me shoot. #animation #stopmotionanimation #stopmotion #gaming #gamedesign #gamedevelopment #digitalart #motiongraphics #gameart #AnimationStudent #characterdesign #2danimation #3danimation #storyboarding #gameindustry #gamedevs #creativeprocess #artingames #gameartists #animatorcareer #indieanimation #unity3d #procreate #procreateart #dot2dot https://lnkd.in/giZVndVn
