<a href="https://vimeo.com/145297915">Celebrating 200 Years of Worship</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/bbrode">Brittany Brode</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br />
<br />
This is a project I've been wanting to do for a long time. I was inspired by a video by Josh Emerson, a filmmaker I met at a creative meetup in Cincinnati. He interviewed various members of of the <a href="https://vimeo.com/46915164" target="_blank">Vineyard Westside church</a> who were about to go through adult baptism.<br />
<br />
Their testimonies were so touching, so honest. That was the feel I wanted to capture when I interviewed members of my own church for our bicentennial celebration. The process was so amazing, and it was truly a blessing to hear what everyone had to say.

Only the sages bow to Zuko. (And only for a moment.) The
courtyard is filled with Zuko’s friends and allies from around the world, all
of whom cheer wildly when he is crowned. He does not stand alone, but rather
insists on sharing his big moment with Aang, the Avatar, the person his nation
was so intent on destroying and the person he himself previously saw as a mere
means to an end, now one of his best friends. He even insists that Aang’s the
“real hero” of the day.</div>

I started a new series of paper dolls! This time featuring the girls from Love Live! School Idol Project.<br />
<br />
This time, because there are so many dolls, I'll be releasing the clothes by outfit instead of character.<br />

Went to the zoo with my family and did some sketching. I always love going to the zoo for this <br />
<br />
The bats are my favorite, and this time around I got a couple good
sketches. Although we did notice that the bats weren’t actually eating
the fruit, they were just sucking the juice out and then dropping big
chunks of the fruit.<br />
<br />
My sister really wanted to see the seals. Lucky for us they were
putting on a show when we walked by. Also the seal trainer’s name was
Joe, and I thought <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVmUGO6RWzQ" target="_blank">that was funny for reasons</a>.<br />
<br />
The trainers also happened to mention Seafood Watch, an app that lets
you check for restaurants that have ocean-friendly seafood.<br />
<br />
I always learn so much when I go to the zoo. Did you know that a flamingo's pink color fades after it dies? And that there's a Mexican blind cavefish that doesn't have eyes? It lives in such dark environments that it doesn't need them. It has whiskers instead. </div>

even though they’re now made of wood, metal, porcelain, and other such
things, they can still walk and talk and they have retained their
personalities; can think for themselves, can still express human
emotions, and most unfortunately, can still feel pain.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects1_zpsd022f295.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects1_zpsd022f295.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects1_zpsd022f295.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Pictured: Discomfort<br /><br />((By the way if you get a chance I would highly encourage you to go frame-by-frame on this scene, it does not disappoint.))<br /><br />These
“background characters” are just as important to the story as Belle and
Beast themselves, as they reinforce the scope of the curse. It wasn’t
just the Prince who lost everything that day, his servants lost
everything; their hopes, their dreams, their lives, and – as the stage
version so horrifyingly tells us – their humanity as well, as they are
slowly turning into actual objects the more time goes by. Puts kind of a
darker spin on the fact that the majority of the enchanted ‘objects’ we
see in the castle don’t have faces, doesn’t it?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects2_zpsdfe9c1c5.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects2_zpsdfe9c1c5.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects2_zpsdfe9c1c5.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Before
I found that out I was willing to assume that the curse also brought
random objects to life in the castle instead of just cursing the
servants but now…<br /><br />Which makes Belle’s appearance in the castle so momentous for them. Finally they have even a tiny glimmer of hope.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects3_zps6b89e075.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects3_zps6b89e075.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects3_zps6b89e075.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And
not a moment too soon, as they are in the final year of this ten-year
curse, at which point the spell will become permanent and they will all
just have to wait around until they lose their humanity entirely and
fully become inanimate objects. According to <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/BeautyAndTheBeast">the stage version and Word of God,</a> this was happening to the Beast too; slowly losing his human identity and becoming an actual animal. And he was <i>aware it was happening.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects4_zpsfa4581c0.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects4_zpsfa4581c0.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects4_zpsfa4581c0.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Not that he’s already completely incapable of human emotion.<br /><br />Which is why scenes like this one, short as they are, are some of my favorite.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects4a_zpsfa55819f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects4a_zpsfa55819f.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects4a_zpsfa55819f.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Look
at the dejection in their body language there. Belle is their one last
chance, their only hope of ever being human again, and they’re about to
lose even that because their Master won’t stop throwing tantrums. But
they stick with him anyway, and try to guide him as much as they can,
treating the whole situation like a bomb that could go off at any
moment.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects4b_zps2080342b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects4b_zps2080342b.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects4b_zps2080342b.jpg" /></a><br /><br />You can pretty much see the beads of sweat rolling down all their faces. I guess that would be wax in Lumiere’s case.<br /><br />So shots like this, short as they are, are highly significant:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects4c_zps4bf1ac7c.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects4c_zps4bf1ac7c.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects4c_zps4bf1ac7c.jpg" /></a><br /><br />“Oh no, wait, please! Please wait!”<br /><br />I
love David Ogden Stiers and the desperation in that simple little plea
is heartbreaking. It’s worse than if he had shouted after her. They are
powerless to stop her and they know it. They have less control over the
curse than even their Master and yet they are just trying <i>so very hard.</i><br /><br />All
of this is important because throughout the movie the servants are
always hovering on the outskirts of the action, just… waiting, on pins
and needles, to see what happens next. Even in scenes where they really
don’t need to be there. They all have so much riding on these two
falling in love.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects5_zpsfd494f82.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects5_zpsfd494f82.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects5_zpsfd494f82.jpg" /></a><br /><br />You could cut the tension in this room with a knife.<br /><br />When
the Beast starts to straighten up and Belle starts to warm up to him,
the change in the servants is palpable. Look at this dopey little smile
on Cogsworth’s face:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects6_zps14f41436.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects6_zps14f41436.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects6_zps14f41436.jpg" /></a><br /><br />It’s a far cry from the grumpy stick-in-the-mud pessimist he was at the start of the film.<br /><br />And
all of this makes “Human Again” such a fantastic inclusion on the
Special Edition of the DVD. This song should have been left in the
original release. As <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://dragonkeeper19600.tumblr.com/post/70468605255/sunset-of-the-final-day-12-hours-remain-a">tumblr user dragonkeeper19600</a>
mentioned, it just reinforces how many people are depending on Belle to
break the spell and how little time they have left. It’s also a
significant shift in mood for the servants – there’s a new sense of hope
and expectation throughout the castle. Also we learn what each of them
wants to do with their restored humanity, what all of their dreams are.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects7_zps6bf5266e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects7_zps6bf5266e.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects7_zps6bf5266e.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Cogsworth’s is the cutest.<br /><br />Also
this is just a really smooth piece of animation. My instructors always
told us the best way to avoid a lot of bland, generic gestures is to
give your characters something to do with their hands. Cogsworth and
Lumiere are always interacting with something throughout this shot and
it makes for some very fluid action.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects8_zpsf0f3d38c.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects8_zpsf0f3d38c.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects8_zpsf0f3d38c.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And
they’re still there. Still hanging around, just… waiting, watching,
hoping, now more than ever. Also is it just me or does Cogsworth look
just the teensiest bit unhinged here? It’s understandable… This is the
last night they have, their one last shot.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects9_zpsca174962.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects9_zpsca174962.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects9_zpsca174962.jpg" /></a><br /><br />“I knew you had it in you!”<br /><br />Yes,
it’s a far cry from where they all were at the beginning of the story,
and the change is most noticeable in Cogsworth, who started out the
stuffiest and most pessimistic. He is at the height of his excitement
here, bouncing into the Master’s room unannounced and completely
unafraid, all giddy and smug. We’ve come a long way from this:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects10_zps91b755ba.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects10_zps91b755ba.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects10_zps91b755ba.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Which
makes it so poignant that he is the first to learn that the Beast let
Belle go. From a story point it makes sense that the Head of Household
be given this information and then take it to the other servants, but
from a <i>character</i> perspective it’s especially heartbreaking.
Lumiere was the one with the Beast as he prepared for his romantic
evening with Belle, offering advice with confidence and charm. Cogsworth
is the one whose hopes were raised the most, and his are the first to
be dashed.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects11_zpsad20f6a3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects11_zpsad20f6a3.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects11_zpsad20f6a3.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Pictured: Distress<br /><br />Poor
Cogsworth then has to be the bearer of bad news. Look at his body
language here. In the previous scene he was loose and free with his
movements, more casual than he’d been throughout the film. Now he’s
motions are tight and restrained.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects13_zps7a674f97.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects13_zps7a674f97.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects13_zps7a674f97.jpg" /></a><br /><br />He holds himself very close to his default “I’m just an ordinary mantelpiece clock” position.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects14_zpse68c9c64.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects14_zpse68c9c64.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects14_zpse68c9c64.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Right, that’s the one.<br /><br />The servants pretty much give up at this point, all except Chip, and Cogsworth goes back to full-on pessimist again.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects15_zps223d8e3d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects15_zps223d8e3d.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects15_zps223d8e3d.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Although interestingly enough, Lumiere seems even more upset than Cogsworth at this point. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects16_zps5737f7c5.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects16_zps5737f7c5.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects16_zps5737f7c5.jpg" /></a><br /><br />For
the first time he’s angry and bitter. He’s tried to stay positive only
to have his one chance at being human again ripped away from him at the
last second. And yet, both of them are super-quick to have their hopes
raised mere moments later when the footstool starts barking out the
window.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects17_zps3f04086e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects17_zps3f04086e.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects17_zps3f04086e.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Hope is hard to kill.<br /><br />The
castle is attacked but the Beast just can’t be bothered to care. The
servants have enough self-preservation instinct left that they fight
back and yes, this is the moment where Cogsworth finally snaps.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects18_zps9ef27fc7.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects18_zps9ef27fc7.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects18_zps9ef27fc7.jpg" /></a><br /><br />He is clearly enjoying himself and we love watching it.<br /><br />When
the battle dies down Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts seek out their
Master and… I gotta say, it is really truly sweet that they have
remained loyal to him all these years after what he did and the curse he
brought on the castle. Even earlier in the film they were patient and
gentle and tried to guide him in wooing Belle. We don’t know what the
situation is with the Prince’s parents but it’s pretty safe to assume,
whatever it was, that his servants played a pretty big part in raising
him from an early age.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects19_zpsb65806cb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects19_zpsb65806cb.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects19_zpsb65806cb.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Look at the horror on their faces. Their Prince is dying and all they can do is watch.<br /><br />And then the rose wilts and all their hopes and dreams of becoming human again are shattered.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects20_zps5a34d9b1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects20_zps5a34d9b1.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects20_zps5a34d9b1.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This
is a great example of the power of subtle, quiet acting. They don’t
fall to the ground and start bawling, but the restraint in this shot
makes their heartache unbearable.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects21_zpsc60959e7.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects21_zpsc60959e7.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects21_zpsc60959e7.jpg" /></a><br /><br />They’re
resigned, they’re exhausted. They’re cursed for eternity and, if we’re
going from the stage version, all they have to look forward to now is a
gradual descent into losing their humanity and fully becoming household
objects.<br /><br />The audience doesn’t know what to feel at this point,
either. Have they really come so close, only to fall short at the last
second? The last petal falls and we are left breathless in our seats,
hoping for a miracle. After all, didn’t Belle just confess her love?<br /><br />The transformation starts taking place but the rose has already wilted. The servants have no idea what to expect here.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects23_zps7e281d03.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects23_zps7e281d03.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects23_zps7e281d03.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The
fear is there for all three as they huddle together, but there’s
something else… Hope. Always hope. Right up until the very end.<br /><br />The
beauty here (heh) is that this scene could very easily just have
belonged to Belle and the Beast. The servants could have shown up
afterwards just to show that everyone had returned to normal, but no,
they are highlighted throughout the scene. Their emotional journey is
just as important as the two leads and adds flavor and depth to an
already meaningful, beautiful climax.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s183.photobucket.com/user/BandGeek727/media/objects24_zpsa5ad7340.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo objects24_zpsa5ad7340.jpg" src="http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x108/BandGeek727/objects24_zpsa5ad7340.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And
this is the first time we’ve seen the Prince treat his servants like
friends. He’s like a little kid, in a good way this time. Can’t you just
feel the love radiating off of everyone in this shot?<br /><br />So yes.
Belle and the Beast are good characters but the servants are the glue
that holds this whole movie together. They are given just the right
amount of screen time to develop their characters while supporting their
leads. Also for comic relief sidekicks they’re given a surprising
amount of both dignity and authority. Their Prince may be in charge but
they keep the castle running smoothly, they’re the ones to welcome
Maurice and Belle and get the plot rolling, they’re the ones who fight
off the invading villagers, and yes, they’re the ones the Prince turns
to for advice, even when he’s being a pouty teenager.<br /><br />I love these characters.<br /><br />Also I forgot what a beautiful movie this is. Every single frame is like a work of art in itself.
