I’m trying to be as cryptic as I can when speaking about my piece to my peers. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that a lot of my project is meant to be entertaining, or it only has meaning to me. I feel like this is a moot point because I’ve said it to the class in critique and seminar, so I may as well move on. It will be interpreted as it will! What’s been more interesting to me lately is the actual process of animating. Seeing something in your head and then seeing it move on paper is a very strange and satisfying experience.  I’ve been struggling with animating walking. One night I sat and tried to figure it out for 3 hours with out making any real progress in my film. It felt like I was drawing the same picture over and over and over again– very frustrating. Here’s to trying again. My final sequence of events is below.

Final shot list:

1. Doggie on the beach
2. Title screen!
3. Walkin’ down the street
4. Talking to the cashier (?)
5. Rear ended by the wolf-dog
6. Waking up no dogs
7. Upstairs there is a dad/mom another person working on computer
8. Look up at the big guy in the sky
9. Dedicated to Ruby Parisi

Things to think about:

• are cashier’s too tropey?
• What do I call this piece?
