Applied Animation: Round 2

At the start of this week we were given a briefing for applied animation, which I'm really looking forward to. For this module we are looking at animated documentary and even though this isn't something I am particularly interested in, as I am more for the narrative side of animation, I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to experiment with something that I want to explore as my specialism.

As part of the task we were given four themes to choose from; the environment, family, sports, mental health and I decided to go with the environment, as I felt that this would give me a lot of freedom in terms of subject matters and idea generation. I also wanted to go with this theme because I feel quite strongly about the environment and I was glad that I had the option to explore something that I have an interest in. As part of this project we are required to work in groups and after thinking about it carefully I decided that I'd really like to work with Katy Mulvey because I personally felt that we possessed skills that would benefit the other. Katy leans more towards pre-production and production, whereas I lean more towards production and post-production. Not only this, but we have a very similar workflow and mind set towards work and I feel that we will make a good team. I am also looking forward to working collaboratively again, as I'd really like to improve my team working skills.

Overall, I'm really excited to get this project started and I'm looking forward to working with Katy and improving upon my existing skills and learning new ones.
