Having done with the essay (first draft) and completing a press kit for the thesis project, i would say I have a much better idea on what I wanted to do. Firstly, my decision to make an experimental animation is based on the following quotes I read from the Internet:"A beautifully animated art film can give the same absolute delight as the fluidity of movement, the grace, the perfect balance of great ballet dancers." -- Louise Beaudet, Cinematheque Quebecoise, Pegbar, 1987
"The ability to deconstruct a movement and reassemble it in a new or convincing way is the animator's territory. Many artists have realized their visions using animation as a means to externalize their inner thoughts and unique points of view. Animation gives the viewer the opportunity to gaze at a frozen moment of thought and to experience another person's rhythms." -- Christine Panushka , USC, 1997
Frankly I do not have any experience in making an experimental animation, but my interest has over-weighed my concerns. However my challenge is not about time constrain or lack of skills, but to decide on a specific approach for my animation. I have done several tests within this quarter but I know that these are not sufficient. I would have to do more painting and tests. Even so, I am coming close to finding a different voice to my drawings and I think if I should push on, I will be able to rest on one eventually.
