WEEK 1 DAY 3: You Are Here Project Personal Tutorials

After the individual field trips we had to decide on what we wanted to base our projects on. While I was there what made me the most curious was the idea of disturbance. I was the one and only thing that was disturbing the locals and the people who walked past as I was the only person sitting down; an outsider still compared to everyone else whom was always walking past. While I was sitting there I had quite a few encounters with different people, including a cat.

After this original experience we had to create storyboards and develop our ideas and then show them one to one to our animation tutor. This was my first storyboard draft :

My tutor really liked my storyboards, however he suggested that I should concentrate on getting my character from a point A to a point B throughout the city and that the struggle should be the journey from A to B. Elements in the city should disturb him getting there. I would reveal to the audience what it's really like to live in the city, the tension you have while walking around and the freedom you feel in open spaces.
