A chat with Jamie

I had a very useful chat with Jamie just generally about my work and the project. I think I kinda of knew what I wanted to make and how to do it, but it was useful just to clarify a couple things. One of them was whether the gifs had to work as a series, it doesn't specify in the brief but as Jamie said...it would be quite nice if they did. An obvious way of doing this is just to make the same character(s) work across the three different process', perhaps doing a different action in each of them. Personally, instead of this, I would rather choose a theme to run across all three - a feeling or idea. I think this will help to make sure that my gifs actually SAY SOMETHING as apposed to just being cute or funny - something I became v. conscious of after the crit. So I have started to think about and identify some themes that run across the characters I have already created -

1. tiredness
2. movement (dancing, swimming...) - the joy of this?
3. comfort - a comforting friend, physical comfort
4. friendship?

I'm not sure about what I am going to go with yet, but I like this approach to the brief. I think I just need to story board some more, and think more about the characters that I like and what they could be doing...
