Rationale

1. Blog AddressWhere are you documenting the development of Extended Practice online?

http://hdalrymple-extendedpractice.blogspot.co.uk/(all process work)
http://hayleydalrymple.wixsite.com/hayleydalrymple/motionblog (selected professional process work) 

2. Subjects and ThemesBroadly speaking what are you interested in exploring and why?

I'm interested in putting into practice what I have learnt in puppet making and stop motion animation.

3. RationaleWhat you want to do during this module? Be as specific as you can at this moment in time.
If you plan on working on multiple briefs to demonstrate your practice, identify clearly each brief.


I'm working a a single brief, in a paired group with Callum, we may have others to do things like character design for us, but I'd really like to be hands on with this projects. I want to use the knowledge I have on puppet making to put more time in to creating a puppet that will be really effective for the animation I will be producing. it's also my last chance to get into the workshop to experiment more with materials to see which will be the best to develop.


My main roles will be:
- puppet making and developing (material tests with Callum)  
        Main character - old, adventurer, journalist.
        Monster - Dementor style, loose hanging fabric, wire made
- Set room sizing - in proportion with puppets
- Animating (joint role)

...and anything else I can help out with along the projects. But the main thing I want to get into is puppet making and stop motion animation. 

4. Explain how this will be developing your Specialist Practice?

it will develop my puppet making and stop motion animation further, in which I'm hoping will become my best animation during my time on this course. It will also add to my portfolio of puppet skill and stop motion skills. The animation is based on H.P. Lovecraft stories so will be quite dark. Even though I love working in plasticine, I want to show I can create puppets in other materials will open up my job options.

5. Resources and Workshops
What do you need and by When?

I'd like to start creating puppets as soon as we come back from Christmas, this will enable time for puppet making and developing and allow lots of time to focus on the animating. So workshops will have to be book in January to get the puppets underway.

6. Will you be working on a group project or brief? 
( If YES explain )

Yes. Callum wanted to work in stop motion this year, so I thought it would be a good idea to collaborate with someone new, he'd already got a solid idea of story, so my role would be mainly puppet making, developing, and then we plan to both work on animating as I discovered with Ciara last year, working in a pair made animating easier, as one would direct and take shots, and the other would move the character.

7. Are there any stakeholders in your project?
If YES, explain who they are and what their responsibilities are? - This is essential if you've got a Live Brief from a client

Not that we've discussed. We could have the opportunity to collaborate with a music student to go with our animation. 

8. What, where and when do you need to research. Begin to identify and artists, practitioners, companies or organisations that you will need to talk to. This could include getting to speak to people at conferences, events and other organisations. 

Research will need to be done as soon as possible, we need to know who the animation is aimed at and where we can enter it into suitable competitions/festivals. so that will need to be researched before we begin making.

9. Please identify at least 6 books, periodicals, websites or other media that may be informing your rationale. Please use Harvard referencing.
