First storyboard drawn up and put up on the wall of the incubator. Feeling inspired and the start of momentum.
We still need to make the incubator space ours. To find bits and pieces to equip and furnish.
I will bring in my small press from home, where it hasn’t been used for a year or so.
To collect: drawing pins, masking tapes, ink, rollers, glass (to roller ink onto), a couple of plastic chairs I saw outside a charity shop in Heavitree (if they’re still there.)
The idea being that we create an animation. We are right at the start of the process, not really knowing where we’re going. On Tuesday I have some time to cut some lino or wood and have a play with creating a second or two with Stop Motion.
I think the next step is to create a storyboard, and then get some advice about what is possible.
Emma and I are talking about animating print and creating an animation together. I’m pretty clueless so far about animation in practise (I think I understand the theory) but it’ll be good to learn new skills while pushing the print side.
There are many talented and approachable animators in Exeter we can ask advice from.
We intend to keep it simple, play it by ear, and see how it goes.
So what exactly will we do in this incubator space? What is an incubator space? We are hatching ideas, seeing them grow, developing ourselves to where we can fly on. Or out.
enough of the puns… time for some fun
