In today’s studio session, we talked about some ideas that we had come up with over the week, on how we might want to tackle the Signal collaboration. One thing that I thought of based on Robbie’s idea on having a thematic approach is the usage of colour. What if each person were to focus on a specific colour, but still following the different themes? From there, Robbie noticed the pattern in that idea and began to talk about the notion of obsession.

It’s one thing to be interested in a particular subject matter, but to be obsessed about it is capable of bringing it to another level. As a class, we agreed on the idea of obsession, and the goal of the project was then to create four 8-second videos illustrating what we found ourselves obsessed with. Some of my classmates’ ideas ranged from body and movement, to nature and grotesque. I thought of perhaps doing something to do with lines or symmetry, because that is something that I do enjoy – with much inspiration from Wes Anderson.

We are now to go back and map out our ideas for tomorrow’s studio session. Hopefully I’ll be able to think of something good for my final submission.
