Research Pep Talk

Had a group sit down with Ruth today (13/2) at G3.

It was good to discuss where our spaces might be and get to know the third year visual arts students.

Here's the sheet with the due dates on:


Got some homework for next week Monday:


  • Project question drafts that encompass the theory & practical aspects of my concept. The more specific the better. Here are a few I've got at the moment including my old one:
      • How can I optimise the 2D character design and rigging workflow process in Toon Boom Harmony for a cartoon pilot?
      • How can I drive a cartoon pilot's story through the characters' animation?
      • How can I create a character driven narrative with animation for a children's cartoon on NZ televisions?
  • Working drawings
      • 5
      • investigate the question
      • draw key words
      • make a dialogue wall
      • venn diagram
  • Any process tests
  • Practitioners
      • support and inspire ideas & concept
Things to keep in mind:

    • APA reference everything in the documentation/blog. Whatever I am watching, reading, researching, playing, doing, looking at, experimenting, reviewing, etc
    • Start looking for material
    • Go to the library & interloan stuff. Look at other institutes libraries & catalogs & book lists.
    • Context means the why for your project that is personal to you.
    • This project is individually driven. Set goals for every day or at least every week. Keep organised, keep track.
    • The first exhibition doesn't have to be finished things
A first exhibition idea is to put up my old pitch bible and put it next to a new pitch bible? Past vs new/revised. include hard cover version.
