Journal Question: what kind of a sound environment do you plan for your film? Realistic? More music-based? What will the role of sound be in your film?
From the start I wanted my short to feel more like a slice of life, therefore I didn't believe music was necessary because it's not supposed to be like an over-the-top like a Warner Brothers cartoon. I just wanted to give the cartoon a sort of ambience, make it a little more down-to-earth when it comes to atmosphere.

• What is your biggest time management challenge, and what is your plan for dealing with it from here through the end of the semester?
• Which of your classmates’ films do you particularly like? Why? What is the strongest element of their piece? Where would you make suggestions?
Time management challenge... If there's any I can think of at the moment, it's when I feel burnt out on a particular project despite a deadline. For the most part I've been trying my best to get needed work done on time in addition to other classes or necessities. My best method right now is to take a break when I need one.
I think thus far I like Erica's film the most, the one with the inside and outside cats. I like the interaction between the two characters, her designs and animation so far are very lovely to look at, and the story and dilemma is very simple and enjoyable. The only thing I would suggest would be a little more consistency with the character designs, in that Bosley sometimes looks kind of scary or monstrous when she's supposed to be a domesticated cat, and the design of Lucifer, from what I have seen, seems a bit confusing in design in that in some shots he looks a little more cartoony than in the last one.
Otherwise I think Erica is doing a good job in that her animation has a beautiful, flowing look to it.
