FMP Week 3 Day 1

Today I continued the making of the puppet, I feel that it is going really well, all that I have to do now is to add a head and then i will be finished. I am very proud with how it has come out, I expected it to be a lot
worse. I do have a few elements of it that i have left out, such as the socks, which i have made to move up and down her legs.

I also continued my response to my secondary research interviews. As expected some of the stories were harder to convey than others, one of my favourites was, the one below, which was about how my Great Grandmother was kicked out of her house by her mother because she had her hair cut into a bob and her mother thought that she was 'hussy'. I have taken a few liberties on this storyboard as television would not have been invented then.

Another fun story to illustrate was about my grandfather and his various adventures in Greenwich Park. They range from insane bike races with his friends to stealing apples from the park keepers garden.

One of my favourite stories was one about my grandfather taking his drunken grandmother back from the pub to her house, pitch black down a country lane. I had loads of fun sketching it up and designing the characters for the story. I feel that it will be hard for me to choose which story to animate for my finals.
