These suggestions were discussed:

• Emphasize the fact that it’s a one set piece
• Names may date it / add elements (maybe unwanted)
• The character’s accent / place of origin will be important, since it is one of the first shots
• There should be a coherence to the piece (like Twin Peaks’s Razorhead)
• It should have a strong emotional core
• The quality of Debbie’s seductive voice is very important
• Look at Euripedes “Bakas” and the routes of tragic writing
• Be aware that pills take time to become active
• An interesting thing to do is instead of opening with the magazine, show it after we’ve met Debbie to surprise the audience
• Get equipement out and test most of the effects

Through the Medium

For our animation project our main focus was coming up with a short, snappy and interesting synopsis that describes all of the elements of our project

"Experimental Animation, applying 3D and Stop Motion, using two Characters, to juxtapose, engaged in whitty banter about the condition of their material and immaterial existence and the physical interface. This will allow us to explore the existential angst of the CGI character living in a mercyless void dominated by a cursor in contrast to the warmth and congeniality of the stop motion character who conveys a special bond with the human counterpart hands on animator. "

Taking the above into consideration, we decided to shorten in for synopsis purposes:

"Experimental Animation, applying 3D and Stop Motion, using two characters to juxtapose the condition of their material and immaterial existence, through witty comedy and banter."

Our other concerns were with the character designs, and how we should re think some of the design elements

Lastly we talked about expanding the script, and coming up with improvisation quese for Lawrence to try out on the recording days.
