Update

This last week I found myself looking at story structures and imagery. I feel that for a piece like Forever Forest, I need to have these two work cohesively. I also got into a discussion between the relationship between live action and animation. The main point of discussion was ‘why animate, when you could shoot in live action?

Robleto structure

After learning about the Robleto structure, I began thinking about having the visuals follow a structure, just as poems do. The visuals need to accompany the poem as oppose to illustrate it’s words.I feel that the line of repetition in the written piece can be complemented by a repeated visual motif/theme.

After having this train of thought, it occurred to me that perhaps my visuals are too literal and physical. I’m aiming to create more of an experience of the forest , as opposed to simply having a scenario play out.
