VILLAINOUS CONFERENCE IN COLOMBIA 4.0 (7th Of November)

VILLAINOUS CONFERENCE IN COLOMBIA 4.0 (7th of November)

Alan Ituriel, the creator of Villainous, went to a conference in Colombia today! He talked about animation, Villainous, its evolution and he gave tips about how to start your business in the animation industry, as well as an amazing motivational speech. He’s a wonderful person and a sweetheart, I swear. He also thanked the fans a lot for liking Villainous, and even showed some fan creations and cosplays, and talked about how he never expected his show to be successful outside of latam.

He talked about the importance of making your characters alive, allowing the audience to connect with them and feel their emotions and relate to them, and also about making the audience feel like they’re in the same world as the characters. He does this with Penumbra’s instagram and the secret websites, making us feel like they’re all real. Imo, this is what makes this show so amazing. Alan really knows how to make his characters and story likeable and attractive. He puts the story as the most important thing in a show, above animation, and I really appreciate this. It shows that Villainous has a very promising future. He’s tried to show us the very extensive lore through numerous ways, even in the 1 minute shorts. He said that all of the backgrounds are supervised by him, and everything on them is put there on purpose, to tell us the story in a different way other than yknow, the characters speaking.

He also talks about the importance of the voice actors. ‘Jefecito chulo’, aka Flug’s most iconic nickname for Black Hat, was not in the script. Flug’s most peculiar characteristics are not in the script, it’s all his VA. That’s how important they are. They give an extra layer of attributes to the character.

The last photo shows how much the project has changed over the years, as well as the others showing how the characters evolved. He animated both of those scenes. He linked this speech with the motivational one, telling how being good at something is about practice and practice, and to never let anyone drag you down, because even your closest friends can turn on you. You must be strong. You are the only one that matters in the end. ‘If I could do it, you can.’ ‘Even if everyone dislikes what you’re doing, keep going forward and show it, because someone out there has to like it. Even if it’s just one person.’ He is entirely self-taught. His family has no animators, or people in the TV industry. He did it all on his own, with perseverance and hard work.

His story is very inspiring, I have MAD respect for him and his show, and I’ll support him til the very end.

Here’s the conference on youtube! Alan starts talking at the minute 42:50

What if the plot of villainous show will be basically centered around Flug instead of Black Hat? Like Black Hat will be a "face" of the show, but !plot twist! the main character will be a bag headed scientist everyone adores? (I'm not a Flug fan but it clicks to me because Flug has a lot of traits of a classic protagonist. I will be surprised if they make the show to be really centered around Black Hat)

Part 2 : Aa I forgot to add that it would be really awesome if the show was about a whole group in general, not just one character I’m sorry

At the very least there’s surely gonna be quite a few Flug-centric episodes

He’ll either share the spotlight with BH or steal it from him, it seems ^^

I love the fact that some of the comments about this is "Please, stahp the roasting Panchito" when here in Latin America we have this culture of teasing and being "rude" between friends. It's like the max level of friendship.

Panchito is at it again

I Looked Up The Symbolism Of The Flowers Seen On Penumbra's Instagram. I Think The Flowers Are Meant

I looked up the symbolism of the flowers seen on penumbra's Instagram. I think the flowers are meant to be a represent penumbra's character. These flowers are often associated with peace, innocence and rebirth. In a way she's an innocent villain because of her morals (protecting the environment, wanting to cure the umbras ECT), after the sunblast incident she's become a new person she's been reborn at lest that's what she's says and as far as her Instagram shows she's living a peaceful life since the events of the villainous pilot although whether or not it's going to stay that way depends on the future I mean she does kind of work for black hat now but for now she's at peace. Another fun fact about peace lilies is can't be left in direct sunlight I mean they can still be left in well lit areas but they're still sensitive to it much like the how penumbra can't go in direct sunlight but can still hang around lit areas like her house or how she can go outside during cloudy weather. I know some people are concerned because it's a flower often used at funerals and think it's foreshadowing her death but people use lilies in funeral in hopes that the deceased will find peace and regain their innocence after death. Maybe her first attempt of curing herself with the lightbulb was a metaphorical death because although she failed she saw it as an opportunity to grow as a person.
