This blog is to help me chronicle my journey to put my imagination to good use. My wife challenged me recently to focus on one hobby and stick with it for 1 full year. Due to my imagination and my profession, I decided to put my passions to good use:
On my way home from work, I was in my usual focused mode, and began to imagine a story that I found fun, exciting, and entertaining. When I got home I wrote it down in treatment form, and wondered what I could do with it. As I continued to tool with the characters, the treatment, and the story itself, it dawned on me that I could create this in animated form (Flash-possibly). I grew excited, but before I draw the cart before the horse, I realized as a family man and full time instructor of an art college, I should take this one step at a time. I will start this by first working in pre-production by making an animation bible. I will test our own curriculum and fabricate a treatment, a shot list, storyboards, character designs, overhead diagrams (for the camera angles), and find lots of reference material. Then I will proceed with production and worry about assistance and such, as I may need. Who knows? Maybe I will develop this further.
