My First LEGO Animation.

This is my very first attempt at LEGO stop motion made for my Digital Composition class. It’s rough around the edges (I know 😭), but I learned a ton and had fun bringing tiny bricks to life.

what is a Kusbie? To me a Kusbie refers to someone rebellious, bold with an unapologetic attitude. Some may find this term rude or even very vulgar, but to me, it carries a sense of empowerment and defiance. A Kusbie is someone who challenges societal norms, refuses to conform, and isn’t afraid to speak their mind, even if it ruffles a few feathers. They embrace their individuality and wear their confidence like armor, turning what others might see as a flaw into a strength. While the term might have controversial undertones, to me it symbolizes a fearless, unfiltered approach to life owning one’s identity unapologetically.

This illustration beautifully captures the architectural and botanical richness of the house of Asmar's mother, the nourrice, from Azur & Asmar. I admire Michel Ocelot's animation style, which combines intricate details with vibrant colors, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels timeless yet grounded in culture. The courtyard is filled with lush, diverse plants and flowers, symbolizing the nurturing and exotic environment. The warm, golden arches and intricate patterns on the columns reflect North African and Moorish influences, reinforcing the cultural depth that Ocelot integrates into his work.
