My sun ft Siobhan and Penny's clouds.
All we knew about today was that it would be a 'MEGA TASK' (even more daunting than a mega crit!) All about COLLABORATING and starting to work with the Animators and Graphic Designers. Started the day feeling anxious because WHAT A SCARY SITUATION but it was actually a lot of fun.
I was randomly allocated a partner, hello Bash from Animation. A lovely dude with lots of ideas. We had a good time thinking/brainstorming and it sure is easier to come up with ideas when you're bouncing them off someone else. I won't go into what we conceptualised, I'll just say this:
SAUSAGE RAIN.
PITCHING: Bash and I are both extroverts/wannabe performers so we really enjoyed pitching.
Peers must have liked it too because they chose to join our team. We worked with a group of graphic designers whose names I should probably have written down so I'd remember (oops, but they were really groovy ladies whom I would like to work with again) and one other illustrator (the fabulous Penny).
We were a little bitter when our pitch didn't win but I was excited to work on the Slug Bean project. We made a silly video and everyone (38 PEOPLE + John and Patrick) helped out. Everyone did their bit (puppetry, design, voiceovers, set design, etc) and it all came together so well.
Seriously, it's so easy to forget how many people we have at hand at uni. SO MANY IDEAS, SO MANY HEADS, SO MANY THOUGHTS. So many hands! Make use of them.
I had a brilliant (if very weird) day. Thank you! I look forward to meeting and working with even more creatives (especially animators, that's really what I want to work more on in the future so I think I can learn a lot from them).
