Ottablog - Day 3

International showcase 1 )

After the screening the animator's picnic was going on, but I had planned my whole week out and I had few breaks, so I took that time to go visit my grandparents and my uncle from my mother's side. I hadn't seen them in quite a few years. It was great though a bit strange, because I went back to my old neighborhood... it was like constantly experiencing deja vu. What makes this an interesting experience for me is that in my film I am leaning towards it being representative of piecing together a memory or understanding of a certain time and place for Fia. There were things I realized were wrong in my memory when I went back... small things like signs being square when I thought they were circles, the school being brick instead of grey siding... trees taller, etc. Though when I got to my grandmother's house, everything was just the same, the smell, where everything was. We dug a bit further and looked through some old family photobooks. It was good to refresh myself on the way that experience made me feel, because it is something I want to convey in my film.
