For the new story I was thinking of doing it on the way that academics gate keep their work with their language and that if someone new came to it, they would be completely baffled, as I have been when learning Post Modernism with Phil last year. Because of this, I'd like to make the animation more adult but keep the same animation style of a kids show, like Mary and Max. In terms of a story I was thinking Simon(the student) decides to get ahead on his work by reading the more advanced books in the library. After bringing them to life with a potion, he is unable to understand what they are going on about because of the language they use, and because they argue or disagree with each other and sort of gang up on him for not knowing their world.

Ollie – If there is one trait in your work that is emerging above all others it is ‘lack of effort’. Sorry to put that as the first thing in your feedback but I am disappointed by this (barely an...) OGR. Likewise, I can see the same problem in your title credits submission (I will give you feedback for that later). Unfortunately, you haven’t given me much more to talk about in this feedback, we’ve discussed this idea multiple times, we know it’s a good idea, it has professional/commercial precedent (Trap Door etc), its based upon your own character design project, and it’s something you seem enthusiastic about in conversations. All great except there is no practical progress. Ollie, the ball is firmly on your side of the court in terms what to do next to fulfil the potential of this project – It has a lot of potential too. If you are struggling about what to do then please come and see me and we’ll discuss solutions. If not, all I can add is that this project won’t make itself. It’s time to go to work Ollie and not make lists about working (last page).
