Well its september, same bat channel, same bat story. The animations are still trickling in, unfortunatley. i dont have a million pesos to buy the soul of an animator, so the glory of bellflower patiently waits till these talented persons are free for a second to chip away at it.
It has only been 3 years.. Bell is patient. So in the past few months i have recieved a couple of new shots.. they rock and will turn your mind to gosa when they come out, but im sad to say that there are too many wholes in the edit to allow a small release. See we even decided that we wouldnt release the first 10 mins previously shown, because the new animations for that edit is now WAY! beyond those first beautiful concepts.
So i burn my insence, chant and slap two large tunas together try to please the film gods to have more shots trickle in.. We so want to update and release the first 10 mins.. the shots ARE being worked on, but strangely enough the animator doing the job has to pay bills and eat. Weird hu.. so as his time frees up, so do the shots. After the first 10 -12 mins, the animtions for the next HOUR! is mostly complete. we only have an exciting takeoff shot that needs to be finalized.
We have a great template animation file for the majority of the animation shots for the back end of the film, all except the one wher the trans U #%@&*% @#@^#(@ and then #@*)*&* @#*&#!)@&!.
So as always.. we are still here.. HEY there is a facebook place thingy.. some pictures. there.. I would love to put a couple of clips there as well. So we started late 2005, finished construction around.. (dave?) 2008.. filming finished.. arounf the same time .. 2008 xmass i think.. (DAVE?) its now around 2012.. six years… that aint too bad.. another 4 and we took as long as it takes to terra from a planet!
AnyHOO!! thanks for still popping in, stay shinny, be good to your mum.
There is a certain Zen quality about the Bellflower fan film production. I’ll still wear my Bellflower cast member T shirt I won at the 2008 Creation Convention in Burbank and meditate without the tension of expectation of the film’s completion. I merely sit, eyes closed, listening to your voice whisper “Patience, Browncoat.”
Wishing you the best,

I gotta tellya, I’m jonesin’ for more ‘verse content. That medley that Bentley put together is quite catching and alluring. I can’t wait to see the video that goes with it!
It sounds like things are moving along again, quite nicely, I might add. Keep pushing, and know that there Browncoats a-many waiting for another shiny fanfilm.
I’d offer to assist, but really don’t know how I could help you.
