These days, I'm not even trying to contact producers. Instead I'm thinking a lot about how I want to make movies in the future. How to make, produce and distribute them to turn them into something I would myself go to the cinema and watch. I'm not there yet, I need to plot and plan.

Today I've made letters for the titles. The thought is to animate and integrate them into the design. I hope they are not too unreadable because I like them. They feel both graphic and jugend:y.

Now I've begun yet another insurmountable drawing of clouds, thinking the letters will disappear into the many lines of the sky.

I make myself tired and weary and excited. It feels like if the many graphic and detailed elements will work out they will add to the movie and make it pop out. And if not I've wasted a lot of time. Working out a design has elements of gambling in it. I wish I worked faster, yet I couldn't make this if I did.

I've been working on one half of the image material that I'm making for the film application (I'll get back to you on that).

I've also started thinking about colour. One idea I have is to animate colour in abstract patterns as an overlay and keeping the characters and settings themselves in black and white. I think that could be an interesting and also expressive way to work.

Of course I've also gone through one of the gazillion doubts that seem important for the realization of a project. Do the demons look too childish? Would it be better if they were more like gigantic, slightly more abstract shadow beings?

Now I think not, but unless you try how will you know for sure?

Drawing on a still from the movie where all ingredients - characters and settings - are included. I'm still doubting my design. I feel my style as an animator is too childish and that it makes my film look like it's not suited for grown ups. This is something I will have to keep thinking about, now I'm much too hungry!

Reconsidering the design and going back to a previous idea.
Will it get better this time?
