Week 1

Falling Slowly

So here again, something that I normally would not do, blogging. I dont even know if anyone is gonna read this, so its really weird as I'm typing it out now.........

anyway, so,the first week of FYP has started!!! omg

and, spoke to Alan on Monday and Thursday. and Alfie on Wednesday. Was put into groups, so mine is Jarrold, Naf, Rae and I. Alan likes my story, though he decided that it was better to eliminate the girl. It kinda changes the hidden message I had behind my story, but the gist is still there. yeah. So far, only 2 people have gotten the hidden message, the rest just interprets it their own way. I like that, I mean, its good (well, to me) when so many people look at the same thing, but their beliefs and values changes the way they interpret it. its cool.

Anyway, the final story I have now, has been developed since last year; I think if Alan had said no to my idea, I would have killed myself. anyway, the first ever story I seriously had to change cuz it was fitting for like those, indie artsy fartsy movies, like, why would i want to do something like that when im doing animation, lets go a bit wilder, you know..yeah. I actually really liked the first ever idea and I drew out a "scene" i had envisioned, its on my deviantart if anyone is reading this http://www.kk2810.deviantart.com/, titled "falling slowly"

Anyway, I was surprised that people like my story, still am, I mean, its very simple and all. When i was consulting Alfie, I asked him A question and he shot me 10 back. o man. yeah. he came up with another story revolving around the characters i had in mind though, its really nice, but I decided that I couldnt really connect and understand the lead character as much.

So, for this week, i kinda started researching and all. and its really disturbing about Andreas completing a lot of things already, trying not to think about it right now. I planned out my timetable, and started drawing character sheets. Really scared about the 3d thing. I mean...ITS 3D o mannn. yeah, scared but very excited about it. God help me.
I went to the library to do research, my new meditating ground, a place where i can feel at ease, inspired and left alone. yep. and I was looking at those puppet books...i think im going to get a nightmare by the end of FYP. cuz im scared of puppets AND clowns...o dear, Izak actually said i might get over it instead. haha. we'll see how. I also found something totally....i dont know what word to use here. but i found those "behind the scenes" books AND this one was on Moulin Rouge, this movie never fails to inspire me. LOVE IT. and Ewan Mcgregor is.........swoonnnnn worthy. yeah.
From this, i decided that my "style" for FYP would be Paris 1899. i think. you know, those brulesque themes and all. love it. not completely sure though, still have more research to do. I started modelling the marionette's head too. Im also thinking of title-ing it "Le Belle Epoque" which means "the beautifull time". something like that, i dont have my sketchbook with me right now where I wrote all my findings.
