Okay but who are you?

         Well I could answer that in a number of ways, but in light of the context here I'm going to take this opportunity to take a look back and bring a little something I worked on during my second year in Animation, a film that I intend to get back to in the future. Let's go from the early stages to see how things grew from there.

          So what's the story about? Have a premise.

      Destiny may be up to each of us to map, but what if we have, from the very beginning, something to guide us along the way? Inspiration and motives are what can get us to cover a wider distance and, unknown to everyone, there’s a little creature, invisible to all, in charge of giving us that which will possess most meaning for us.

      Whenever a new human life is developing its form, Initius joins it inside the mother’s belly. There, she colours the irises of the child that is to be born. Whatever she paints in their eyes will determine what each child will find most important or be most passionate about. So what happens when Initius finds herself unable to illuminate one particular child before birth?

     Being an occurrence without precedent as this is, even years after this unfortunate case, Initius can’t forget about that child that was born with colourless eyes because of her.

    So when she meets that same human years later, it brings her a great feeling of redemption. Furthermore, her unique connection with him before his own birth resulted in his ability to see her; he becomes a direct link between Initius and our world, and that provides her with her own share of inspiration, as well as a new motive.

         Meet grown-up Nur, the guy with the colourless eyes.

         Now feel free to have a look at the little things that make up Initius.

         And how about a short peek at how she moves around once inside a happy mum's belly?

         

         Sad as it is, I was unable to finish the film as a uni project, but I'm very fond of this little story, so hopefully I will come back to it once things settle a bit. Until then, Initius will keep doing what she does best, in between little breaks here and there where learns more about Nur and the world.

Or gets some well deserved rest.
