Past Themes Last year I focused on the themes of Invention and Fantasy, Politics and the Social Order, and Looking Outward. Ultimately the goal of all my films was to entertain the audience to some degree. In exploring these themes I found that I am most drawn to relationships between the characters of a story. I like watching them transform, change their perspectives, change the perspectives of others, and much more.

So far I have the entire face done, still undecided on whether or not to continue with this project. I think for now I will get back to working on scripts. However, it was a good project to get back into blender and learn how to utilize some of the new sculpting brushes and navigate the new layout.
