Pitcha Pitcha night was the chance for students across animation, illustration and graphic design to come together, see each others work and then hopefully afterwards come together and socialise so that we became familiar enough with each other to collaborate for the second half of the Responsive module. This was extremely nerve wracking for me, and I was convinced that by the end of the night, I still would be looking for a group to collaborate with.
Watching each of the slides was extremely motivating and inspiring, as I got to see a range of different styles and work that were extremely good! After the presentation, we went out of the lecture hall and into the cafe to search for the table with our desired brief on it. I chose the D&AD 'John Lewis' Brief where there were already a few people around it. This was the nervous part, however after a while, a few people left and there were four of us who got on well and decided we would work together for this module! I was really excited to work with some new people in general, as it was one of my goals I made at the beginning of the module, so to find three others with the same interests as me was even more exciting. Two of my partners are studying graphic design and another is on the illustration course so we will have a great mix of skills and opportunity to make some really great work! They were completely open to working with an animator (which I was very worried about) so I think Pitcha Pitcha night was a great opportunity to meet new people for this collaboration, as without it I probably would not have had the confidence to find new partners, and the people in my group said this as well!
We also had to fill out these questions after talking with our new group. I wrote my roles of looking into animation, doing a lot of preproduction and design work, but we all agreed that we were to all have a go at the main production stage. I also wrote that my skills to offer are that I am very organised and open minded. I write everything down and I keep up to date with everything which I think is a strong trait to have. I am open minded because I am willing to try a unique concept that would perhaps be way out of my comfort zone and nothing I have tried before, and I am excited about it. I also put that I am looking for others with the same interests and who are also open minded, but I think that I have found these elements in my group because we all talked about being really adventurous and aiming really high. We all love fashion and trends so that is a bonus. Overall I am excited to work with my creative partners because we have so many different skill sets and different backgrounds!
