the shape of things

getting a clearer picture of the overall project... it will largely be a series about women's health and welfare issues... for Women, not girls as such...roughly 30 - 55 years old - maybe it should be called the "middle ages" and make it all parchment and gothic or something..
but nay, i am being silly and rambling.
watched the full animated minds series - lots of nice ideas there, with lots of nice different styles and techniques, with quite simple animation.
Am hoping i will have time and energy to do the FULL thing, and not be limited to Limited Animation as I usually am with these kinds of projects..
Trish also put me onto the SBS podcasting "PodLove"
which is a nice example of funded televised and podcasted projects..
there's something in this!!!

so the projects at the moment are
Postnatal depression
Breast Cancer
Separation and Divorce
Senile Dementia (surely this will be about me!! - not sure yet if this is the right 'fit')

Four in the series to start with - i am always over ambitious, but this seems feasible.
Looking at the Animated Minds series - they did 4 to start with and another 4 a few years later after the first ones worked out well.
The next big step is to seek-out a Producer who is a) prepared to assist with some advice, b) might want to work with me on this, c) can help get contacts in the key funding type institutions and also the actual 'target' institutions and markets for the project - even though there are four very different 'targets' - is this too hard??
So I must email some people today!
But first..
get seriously cracking with the animating (how many times have i said this already???)

is so hot and humid here, is hard to concentrate on the wacom without my hand sliding down the screen.. reminds me of Dennis Tupicoff's "The Heat, The Humidity"
so true, so true
