Emailing Tutor

I sent an email to my tutor cosponsoring my project.

I was finally honest with how I feel about my work and what I really wanted

Here is the email

Hello Bex. This might seem very sudden and uncalled for but I was thinking about my project. I am animating a short clip that repeats two times but with different colour palettes. The aim of my project is to see if I can influence the 'feeling' being shown by colour alone. 🙂

To be honest, I had imagined my project to being similar to Fabri's, having lost of different scenes and colouring them. But instead of having each panel coloured, I created a very simple story with no words or sound so that I could trial lots of different colour ideas, instead of just warm and cold. I was at first thinking of trialing to create lost of different moods with each secon being labeled that idea. E.g. I could have tried to recreate the feeling of 'love' with soft glowing pink like colours. The end product would have been either a small booklet like Jay's or strips of images on the wall like Fabri's (I'm thinking a small booklet would be cool). I am not sure about how to hire a TV for the showing and it get me a little nervous. I'd be OK, but nervous. 😅

The reason I started to animate this project was due to your influence, you seemed to really like the idea of it I wanted you happy. So I wanted to comply to your likes and wants. But I don't feel like this is my work as much anymore, and it is getting me a little down (I'm OK though). I will continue working on the animation as you like, but is there a way I can change my idea to be more of what I was really excited about working on? I can still have short animated chips for my blog but, maybe not the show case. If this is possible and cool with you. You can tell me to just animate it to the end (I have just noticed I seem to be no longer excited about my work anymore). 😬😆

I think I am overthinking this but can I get your opinion? It's really hard to work on the animation for no reason. I got worried I might not complete it by next week as I promised.

Is it possible to change my final product for showing?

(Sorry for the sudden email) (And how long it is) 😉

Kind Regards

I was scared about what she could say, but then the email came though

OK Bethany.   Firstly....   How do you conceive of your project? Comic strips?  Booklet? 

Secondly, my suggestions are to prompt you to achieve.   I'm very happy to see you take ownership of your work.  

Pitch me your ideas for the exhibition.  

Cheers Bex

I am so relived and happy. I can finish all this work within the day. I am happy to be able to go to my tutor about anything and come to a good result

I will now finish the work I was looking forward to doing :D
