Started reading and knowing stuff.....

So, I've started reading my book on making short animations and made a few notes on it (which I'll be posting later when I'm done).

No new ideas, but got some thoughts on how to think up some:

• Look at life and wonder why, think what if they were different, what would the world be like then? 
• Think about yourself, your wishes, dreams, secrets, act them out using this story
• Use the news to find ideas, take one simple idea from there and expand into a story
• study people around you, see if their character can be used in a short
• Look at other peoples ideas and expand on a simple thought from those

Btw; it's a good book. Repeats itself a lot, but that helps drive in the ideas. Might not read it all but looks like it gets better. Character and location development look cool.


Random ideas for this post:

• Difficulty at an airport metal detector
• A snippet of life of a kitchen implement
• What if buildings were grown?
• An inflatable world?
