Thoughts:<\/strong> This process was probably the easier of the two because I wasn\u2019t as concerned about following any certain format, and was able to morph my thoughts to fit one of the non-linear styles. Because this story idea would be taking place in a \u201creal world\u201d setting, it meant I really had to look hard at the area in which I would set things up when sketching my storyboards instead of being able to be a bit more creative with my staging.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose this story and format?\u00a0<\/strong>My cat is kind of obsessed with sleeping on the record player as soon as we put an album on. Maybe it\u2019s to music or vibration, but he goes right to sleep. After doing a test animation with clay, I thought it would be fun to utilize some toys in a similar fashion and the cat\u2019s toys seemed like something fun I could tie in.<\/p>\n

What challenges might come up? <\/strong>Well, I\u2019m going to have to stage my cat to pull this off, and while my cat is pretty chill, I might have to try this in a number of different ways in order to get it right.<\/p>\n

Thoughts:\u00a0<\/strong>This was a struggle\u2026I am really no good at being forced into a creative headspace. I reviewed some of the earlier chapters of the textbook, and despite the feeling that I was capable, nothing was coming out. I knew I wanted to do something with construction paper cutouts, and we happened to be talking about David Bowie earlier in the day, which led me to an outer space theme and then it all kind of just poured out on to the paper.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose this story and format? <\/strong>One of my favorite stop-motion pieces is The History of Typeography<\/a>\u00a0because of the paper cutouts, which is why thought it would be neat to employ that here.<\/p>\n

What challenges might come up? <\/strong>Cutting up all the pieces and putting it all together may prove to be time-consuming and frustrating.<\/p>\n

Are you leaning towards one or the other?\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m leaning towards the non-linear story because I think it will allow me to play a bit more and be more forgiving if\/when I hit any roadblocks during the filming.<\/p>\n
