Today I touched up my 6th sketch. It’s the one inspired from what I thought would be my final piece. While developing, I tried keeping in mind not to go over 10 seconds but it was very hard so it turned out to be just under 20 seconds, which I hope is okay since it only happened once, but expressed my idea properly.
I’m still feeling a little bit uncertain and there’s a lot on my mind right now. I feel like I could really use that rap section from Ed but I also know that we’re all very busy with all the course work and I don’t want to bother him too much so I’ll see if there’s a way around that.
So far, I think I’ve been really constant with my work and haven’t left it until the last minute. I think this is one of my strongest qualities but being this organized sometimes affects my creativity and makes it difficult to think divergently, which is what we’re being taught in class. The way I’ve learned to overcome this problem is to ask for honest feedback from my teachers so that I can’t trick myself into thinking when I’m far from it, and to use whatever comes to me as a “final piece” as one of my experiments so that I make myself come up with other ideas instead of sticking with the first thing that comes to mind.
I really hope this project works out for the best!
I’ve been listening to some crazy music lately for inspiration and I have added some of these tracks to my Spotify playlist. I found these tracks in a playlist someone else made of “disturbing” music. It’s mostly weird video game tracks that someone has collected. Two of my favourites were from Pokémon: “Drought” and “Lavender Town”. This last track generated some crazy conspiracy theories of the game it was in due to its creepiness. (I added the piano version of the track to my playlist because I couldn’t find the original, but the original is way more unsettling).
