THOMAS O’CONNOR X ‘LOL’ X
PLANNING TO ENSURE I PROGRESSED THE FUNNIEST IDEA, I QUICKLY SKETCHED ALL THE PROSPECTIVE SCENES. THEN PROGRESSING THE SCAMPS INTO STORYBOARD FRAMES, TO SEE HOW THEY COULD OPERATE. AT THIS STAGE IT WAS VERY ROUGH AND ALL ABOUT IMPLYING WHAT I COULD DO. PRESENTING THESE IDEAS TO PEERS MEANT I COULD GAGE WHICH THEY PREFERED AS A GROUP AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT WHICH ARE WAY OFF THE MARK. THE SUGGESTIVE LOOSE DRAWINGS WERE WELL RECEIVED AND IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT A JOKE DOESN’T NEED TO HIDE LAYERS & LAYERS OF PHOTOSHOP. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO KEEP IT RAW IN TERMS OF WHAT MEDIA I USE. IF THE AESTHETIC IS TOO DIGITAL THE WORK ITSELF WILL ALSO BECOME PLASTIC. USING RELATABLE REL TRADITIONAL MEDIUMS WILL HELP KEEP THE IDEAS AUTHENTIC.
REFINING IDEAS

YOUR HAIR IS DYE-SGUSTING & DYSLEXIC MAN WALKS INTO A BRA WERE STAND-OUTS.
