Play + Inspiration

Play and inspiration sometimes are very ambiguous terms, but the idea encapsulated by this words reference some deep elements contained by different aspects in society. These words make reference to a variety of circumstances and in many cases depending on the person they change meaning.  Inspiration doesn't act the same way in an artist or a programmer an play does not have the same meaning to a 5 year old boy compared to an 18 year old gamer.

The fact that these terms are so wide opens a window to explore them in many different ways. In the first week assessment I guess the idea was to explore these terms. So for all of us the starting point was the same, the brief was very clear and yet the possibilities where so many that it was a bit difficult to decide where to start. And as it was evidenced each person produced a different response to this project and yet each one of them was able to explore, engage and play with the media and resources they decided to use.

In my case, I decided to do an animation using my 200 drawings to explore a process I make every morning as a routine and I tried to make it interesting. Deciding what to have for breakfast. In this process I found hat sometimes when you do straight ahead animation you are able to change and explore with the media. And also I found that sound effects often become an important element in an animation.
