Day 2 SUMMARY

A) Stitched Motherville in PSD and exported as MP4, large file, reduced file size online using FreeConvert.com. PC still in one piece!
Small experimental moment from Storyboard 1, working with stop-motion, existing materials and acetate overlays (METHOD referencing work by Serafima Seramova (https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2020/06/22/bloeistraat-11/) (http://nienkedeutz.com/)

B) Worked through various scenarios for Shapeville. When running flat turned to handling materials to revive (Brann Breaks), working with elements discovered in thumbnails. Noticed walk break with cranky daughter brought fresh response (Kid Strike) and other moments occurred/connections made when MOVING AROUND. Shoot hoops next time?!
Is Shapeville ON or OFF the table? NOT ANSWERED. Still feel there is something in there that I have missed, sense that is could go in direction of kids film (ABC). But moving to Triangle next. More reading from Kate to be completed. Strong resistance to vignette style/approach. I find it emotionally distant and clever. Further discussion/consideration required. Envisage three days of storyboarding existing concept to clear the backlog. Have not yet married thinking process with external influences/learnings. Need clear run.
