So I thought about a few random questions to prompt people to let their imagination, their thoughts and their minds just wander and come up with some answers for me to then take away and animate.
favourite flavour soup? what is the meaning of life?
favourite flavour packet of crisps? childhood memory?
do you remember your first kiss? what colour would you be represented as?
secret wishes? who is your hero?
So I picked out three questions to ask...
If you were an animal, what would you be ?
If you could be anywhere right now where would it be and why?
What's your favourite and/or least favourite food, why?
posted them on a survey and gathered lots of feedback within the first few hours, was great! I guess people are willing to answer as it's so random, short and sweet....
I need to now brainstorm what to do with the results... I'd like to include some sort of voice overs, which answer the questions, but the question isn't revealed til towards the end of the scene... I need to decide on the style of animation, bearing in mind the minimal time left available for me, I need easily accessible/quickly made materials, something on a reasonably small scale to save time yet something sharp, witty and eye catching - so that the theme of imagination is captured as well as I can possibly make it!
Whilst thinking through all of this, it triggered off a few links in my head.....
I've posted this before, but for reference it reminded me of Julia Pott's 'My First Crush' animation, where she's animated to people's discussions about their first love. Such a cute, touching but really light hearted animation...

Also the whole responses to questions theme made me think of those 'talking heads' idents on Channel 4 featuring looooads of celebrities. They really captured me in, I don't know about anyone else?! I think it's the curiosity of what they're thinking about..
oh ... excuse the language on this one... it's pretty strong!
Also, did think about the creature comforts series from Aardman as I started to think about the animal question coming into play quite a bit... so I could create a few scenarios out of the three answers I've been given ... such as a ferret, in Australia roasting on the beach, giving some parsnips the evils because 'they're fake carrots, the gaylords' .... or maybe a Grizzly bear, in New York playing with his band at the legendary CBGB's, eating quesadillas.
I'm on a roll here .. thanks to everyone who's answered my survey as well!!! If you wish to answer then please do!! ....
