I had a tutorial with Mary today. She was very helpful as usual. And she managed to calm me down from the overhelming stress of next year. She also seemed keen on my timid idea of building a "set" as my final project. Now I feel more confident about that sort of thing. And best thing was that she suggested that I could try to do my work experience in some sort of puppet place as that would be relevant to my final project! Logical and less terrifying indeed! So lets go back few steps and let me explain my set design idea a bit. Basically I just wanted to build a fairytalish world with curious characters and maybe take photographs of it or film. So the purpose would be book or animation. Animation could prove too laborous on a top of already laborous building process though... I was thinking a world underneeth the ground with lots of tunnels and nests or a big treehouse world. There is something about nests and unconventional ways of living that really really interest me! Set would also be bit like in the iconic Hitchcock film "Rear Window". I mean at ones you can have a peak into different homes or nests or worlds! I think I also like "spying" a bit.
After I got home I've been looking into different puppet busineses. Most of them seem to be theatres with quite traditional take on puppetry but I also found few more interesting places. One of them is a puppet theatre for grown ups called Faulty Optic. Their style is very dark, nearly horror film type.
And other rather curious company is one called Green Ginger. Now my plan is to find out about this business as much as possible and then start sending lots of emails to every interesting place and hope that someone wants me there for work replacement! I am excited indeed!!!!!
