After yesterdays crit, I was feeling a bit disheartened (maybe not disheartened but confused as to if what I was doing was right)... Because a lot of my character development had been object based, I was concerned to see a lot of other students 'organic' way of looking at character. Barely anyone in my group had looked at objects as character and this made me question weather my ideas and development were interesting or challenging enough.
However, after speaking with Jamie today, he seemed really into what I had done so far. And out chat reassured me that the actual creation of a representational character is not vital, and that objects are fine to work with, as long as it works alongside the brief.
I went on to look at some of my favourite ideas and consider what could be done with them. Personally, I really liked the pen idea, and the idea of the pen creating the line that created it. This lead me to think about the idea of repetition and continuous and looping movement.
I think the idea of continuous movement is a good one to focus on for this brief, not only does it fit in with the idea of creating a GIF. But it also gives me some direction as to the actions and aesthetic of the GIFs. I will look to continue this theme throughout my development.
