Senior Project has been very difficult this week. I’m losing ambition, mostly due to the current COVID-19 situation. If we were not held in isolation I feel my creativity would be flourishing but because we are stuck inside, I’ve lost all my creativity. I feel emotionally distressed all cooped up at home 24/7 and it’s taking a toll on my productivity. With all that said, I do the work I have set for myself, it’s just a little more difficult is all. The animations are going well, and my second interview was done this week. I learned a lot about Peter Chinman, the poet. He has a lot of interesting ideologies, and a great take on interactions and human beings.
I got my book in the mail, even though we’re not doing books anymore I will still read mine as it might help with my project a bit. I’ve decided for this project instead of doing 6 very short interviews I am changing it to 3 longer interviews around 7 minutes each, with the 3-minute introduction and various definitions and breaks in between. It will allow the stories to be a lot more fleshed out.
