MAGI Studio 1 Week 1

RATIONALE:

For the first folio in studio 1 I want to make a short animation about a quite personal topic which is me dealing with bad mental health. I need to remind myself that I am doing the best that I can, and on some days the best I can might just be waking up. Through the use of lighthearted animation, I want to explore different techniques of drawing and storytelling on a sensitive topic and hopefully create something that reasonate with people. It is just a rough idea for now and I will expand it into a more solid concept over the next few weeks.
