First group meeting

During the first group meeting, two more people have joined, so now we have nine team members. That is perfect number, because now everyone will get exactly 20 seconds to animate. I was worried that this number of people will make it harder to get one strong idea. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Everybody has worked really hard and gave sensible ideas. For the meeting I brought some images of what kind of pictures are in my head while I'm listening to the music.

Those images were to help other members to picture how I see this music.

During the meeting we've talked about our main character. We wanted it to be a simple shaped character. We've decided that domino will be very good.

We have stacked to the theme of journey, but our idea developed to the whole life of our character, where he travels. As the music has a very Japanese style we've decided to start the animation in Japan with the birth of our character and to end in Japan as well, where our character dies. the aging of the character will be shown by dots on his body - each year will be new dot. We've divided whole song into nine pieces, 20 seconds each. Each team member will be working on a different piece and show different adventure. Also each 20 second section will be different season. It can be easily shown using right colours: green for spring, yellow for summer, red for autumn and white for winter.

The section I will work on will be character's marriage and honeymoon. For the next meeting everyone will draw a rough storyboard showing what they intend to do for their piece of animation.
