Starting A Short Film Project

I'm beginning this blog to officiate the 3d animated short film I'm working on with the Open-Source 3D software Blender.I've working with Blender for 3-4 years on and off.Originally I was just playing around with different software like Photoshop and Poser when i wanted a tool to help make digital painting easier.I found out about blender randomly looking for tutorials and realized it could be more then a tool for 2d art.Realizing I could be making full 3D images was cool and all but the idea of actually being able to make a 3d animation was mind blowing. Always being a fan of Pixar,  this was a dream come true...now what to do? I had never imagined making a movie before and the idea was thrilling. Recently I've been putting myself through a makeshift self-taught film school and I'm learning a lot every day.I have a story in mind but it's nothing to specific, I more or less have the beginning to a well thought out story. I've spent far too much time on characters and not a main conflict for my story. That's all I have for now,I'll try and update this thing everyday.I want to make this the making of blog so I can share the struggles and rewards of making a 3D short film independently.
