Avatar Inspiration

Well, there are many different animations that have inspired me and motivated me to keep going and keep growing, with my art and creativity. I believe that there is a big draw, for me, when something took a lot of work and went through many challenges in order to become what we see in theaters or on our screens. One of those is the Avatar movies. That Papyrus font really drew me in… 

(Haha, honestly though, the videos from the first week made me feel a bit sad about how much I love it, and leaning that it is not a great font for visual clarity was understanding, but I do really love it!) 

There was so much work put into these movies. When I heard there was a second movie coming out, I thought I died and went to heaven. I would love to live in the world of Avatar, as I long to be more apart of nature, and have a slightly big dream of living in the woods, like a Tarzan woman, but with some modern world modifications, like running water, but created in a natural way, bringing it from the natural springs, then having it be recycled, and so on and so forth. Nature is where I feel at one, so when Avatar came out, I felt like it was a long lost memory of our history, maybe even on a deferent planet. 

Anyways, there is so much depth and detail in the way they created the Avatar movies. For The Way of Water, they had the characters training underwater, for months. There was so much work with green James Cameron is truly an inspiration for me. He wrote Avatar before he wrote The Titanic, but there was much research to be done, in order for him to get all the piece’s together. In one video he states that he was in search for the “Holy Grail”. The technology at the time did not match up with what his dreams and goal were for what he felt was necessary to bring out human emotions in these characters. The extent of his passion and work to create what he has is incredibly fascinating and has me very inspired for many of my own aspirations. 

When a person has a dream, or a vision, and they go above and beyond to make it happen, there is this intensity and drive that get encapsulated into it. I hope that I can find my own niche that brings that out of me and into the world in order to inspire others. When one person says impossible, but you feel it so deeply and so strongly that you know you will find a way, that is the creators mojo, that is the soul, that is the gift. Have a desire to allow your dreams to unfold and you will never know who you will inspire to also grow beyond the limited belief systems of many, to allow even just one incredible dreamer to become a creator. This world needs more of that.
