Finally, I completed all of the storyboards at the weekend and was able to start on character designs for my final animation. I had a lot of trouble deciding on which story to use as my final animation. I really liked the drunk woman story, but this bird story was far more interesting. I had a few ways of helping to decide which one to choose. One was asking people which one that they were more interested in, i explained both to them and nearly everyone chose the bird story, because they thought that it was so ridiculous and funny. Also listening to the tutors talking about radical ideas made me think about how in this project that i am meant to be challenging myself; through this i thought about how using a story that is practically laid out for me already is not challenging myself at all. I did have quite a bit of trouble finalising the bird story and have spent several hours over the weekend writing up ideas and crossing them off. I feel that where i have been doing storyboards all the way through i have run myself down and the though of having to do more put me off. However a positive from doing so many, I was able to pull in parts from past stories into this final storyboard, and so finally it was done. Also from drawing so many people over and over I feel that I have improved my drawing skill and my confidence with my own style, so even if this project does not go well in the end, I am glad that i have finally found confidence in my own skill and do not feel as inferior to everyone else in the pathway.

Character facial designs and clothing ideas, I was not sure which period to do this in, but as stated by some people; it is a long way from Australia to the UK even now.
