We’ve been sorted into our groups and are still finding our grounding on where we all sit. I feel some more settling is necessary at the moment, as our roles are still a bit liquid, and our actual idea is more a few strains of conceptual whiffs of ghosts of ideas. As such, there’s nothing too heavy to really unpack in this first week, outside our covered expectations, my preparedness, and my thematic beliefs.

In terms of the role I’ve picked up, I thought about a producer role in casting, sets, and the management around all that, which is quite broad, dependent on the scope of the project, and could certainly be more than I can chew. Personally I think I’m a little unfamiliar with doing things like this so I feel I’m throwing myself in the deep end here. However, that is something time will tell, I’m also probably gonna act and edit. Our group contract with each other expects an equal amount of effort from all participants, all of which aim to have this project as a prideful accomplishment for our showreels; demonstrating our full efforts at work. I certainly stand by this and hope that the group will keep this in mind going forward just as much as I would. Alongside this, letting everyone else know when they can’t make certain events, or need help, or however the case, communicating with the group and finding a work-around for this issue. Pretty common courtesy that wouldn’t screw us over anymore than it has to; Simple!

bit of a mood board here that highlights my personal comic theme, lots of absurdist, gross, weird sources that while certainly seem crude and brash, are ample examples of pacing, structure, payoff and timing. Easily dismissible but with actually a lot under the hood.

We’ve drawn up the agreement at the link above, just covering all the odds and ends I didn’t outright mention here, but asides from all that, more is yet to be set in stone so I’m looking forward to what the future holds in store!
