Sue Tong came back this year to speak to us again. This time her talk was focused more on the actual process of making the layout and the best practices regarding this.

Prior to her visit, I was considering painting my backgrounds in gouache as I feel much more confident choosing my colours through paint than digitally. However, she advised against it due to the fact that if I were to revise the shot and needed a bigger background, it would be difficult to add on. We agreed that it would probably be beneficial to me to paint my colour script in gouache but to paint the final backgrounds digitally.

Looking into Osbert Parker’s work was extremely interesting and encouraging. I had heard of him before when I worked for LIAF as he co-curated the ‘Disrupting the Narrative’ programme. His work focuses on collage and stop-motion, though he always expands on his style.

Following the lecture, we were encouraged to experiment with mixed media and media we weren’t as comfortable using. I focused on making a plasticine sculpture of the cat and recreating a final shot from my storyboard – when the girl meets the cat. The final image was digitally altered to achieve the night-time look and glowing effects. The overall review at the end of the class was positive and what I was aiming for – of an eerie and maybe a little creepy image.
