When I came up with Rebelle 2, I laughed at the concept of making a sequel. “Really self?” But then I realized that my dream is to make Rebelle into a live action movie, and having a sequel on hand will help in that dream.
Stopmotions aren’t really my thing anymore. I haven’t made one out of free will since FEBRUARY. I still love my dolls of course but I’m more of a collector now. And I felt like making a sequel in stopmotion form would kinda be the wrong path to go with my career… it would suck up months of time I could be spending making live action shorts, directing in theater, writing other screenplays or even just hanging out with all of my friends.
I hate to say this, but Rebelle 2 in stopmotion form is cancelled.
Please don’t hate me, but I had to do what was best for my career.
Thank you for everything.

Sydney, to be honest I know after watching Rebelle. That Stopmotion was wrong medium for the story you wanted to tell, but it was not the time or place to bring that up. you should be congratulated for finishing that massive project.
I glade to see you've grown and now you've come to understand the medium limits of Stopmotion. the dolls just can't express the kind of emotional range needed for the stories you want to tell. live action will be a better fit. I look forward to see the kind of stories you tell in your new medium.
Sydney, I could never, ever be the tiniest bit MAD at you. You made this community, for goodness sake. Stopmotions are really hard to make, let alone one that’s an hour long. I’m proud of you for making Rebelle, and if your dream is to make a live action, you darn well do it.
Sadie.
I'm glad that you know when its time to leave something behind and grow as a filmaker! We're proud of you, Sydney!!
no problem Sydney! we’re all here to watch you grow and we can’t wait to see what you can create next. and making a stopmotion that smooth can take a lot of time- an unhealthy amount of time. even though you have a talent, we still want you to enjoy your time at school and with your friends. ❤️
Whatever you do with your career I wish you the best of luck! It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you want to do, I had zero idea of what I wanted to study in college until I was in my second year and even then I kept questioning if I made the the right choice (sometimes I still do).
