_feedback & self-evaluation:

. having thought twice again, i like the style i'm pursuing now [kind of unique i hope - anyone knows any similar style is welcomed to let me know, so i can take that as a reference and improve mine] and shall explore more later to flavour it up

. better if the backdrop is not just static [good to be more dynamic, i will do some tests on it...]

. the drawing should be bigger to be more immersive, also then the cartography of the film would be shown clearer

. need to start putting the characters in fairly soon

. technically should try to constrain the characters moving in still sequence only

. the monochrome actually plays a few roles: 1) the immersion of oneself into the action of shopping where the idea of attention is coloured within a monochrome surrounding, the perception of the viewer is then highlighted 2) i see that as part of my style set-up

. i can see the soundtrack i have now is only part of the background - other sounds shall be used to express more in other aspects [it's a little happy to get the comment 'this soundtrack is so you.' but at the same time, i wonder if i should define my style of sound in that way so soon...]

. becareful with the motion of the camera . the speed of it

. improve the film spatially with more 3D-ness [initially i thought simon suggested that i should have 3D objects in the film in order to achieve that - thanks to kibwe :) for further clearing my concept that more layers instead of a really 3D object will help]

. try not to go over 2.30 mins and focus more on quality

. it's nice to have a look at bella's work...i can slightly see a tiny bit of myself in it...the choreography of space...joel's one is quite fancy too...irene's one is quite spatial but maybe i don't like that 'village' style much personally...all in all, it's good to learn from them~
. i guess i want to be as serious and somehow philosophical/intellectual as possible but express in a fun/chill way

. i'm pleased that some of my unitmates like my animatic too~ ^^
