Responsive: Dazed Collaboration

During our final twilight session we were given the task of finding and choosing a person (or persons) to work with collaboratively for the second part of our brief 'Collaborative Practice'. In preparation for this meeting and greeting we were asked to choose and analyse a brief that we were interested in completing for this module. I really struggled with this task because I really didn't want to add anything too big to my already huge work load and I also wasn't sure what skills my partner(s) would bring to the table. In the end I chose Dazed because it seemed to be the easiest to create across multiple disciplines and it also seemed like it would quite fun to play with and give me the opportunity to create some animation that was quite fun and playful.

Dazed Brief
Whilst anaylsing the brief I noticed that the main aspect they wanted to focus on was creating and portraying a sense of independence, now whether that was creative independence or something else wasn't clear at all and the remainder of the brief seemed pretty vague. So I did a little research into the company and Dazed Media is a magazine that appears to primarily focus on fashion and music and focuses on the independence of those areas.
With this in mind, I felt confident that I would be able to team up and come up with a few ideas that were appropriate, so I went with it. 

By the end of the session I had found myself two partners, Molly Fairhurst from illustration and Katy Mulvey from my own class. I'm pleased with the fact that I have managed to partner up with someone from outside of my own practice and I'm excited to see what we can achieve together. I'm also pleased that I will be working with another animator, as it means that we can split the animating between us and make the work load easier to handle. 
From here we filled out the sheets we had been provided and agreed to meet in 2 weeks time to discuss ideas and begin work towards our brief.
