Producing Finger Puppets

Today I have been communicating with Claire Fearnley about the production of finger puppets which will satisfy my character design. I have asked for one of each of the Cell Crew to be produced into a finger puppet.

These will be used alongside a story book which I am going to illustrate and narrate. It is understood that drawing the illustrations for the book may be difficult; therefore – if necessary – I will ask for the help of a professional illustrator or graphic designer.

This book may be used within the festival as part of a story-telling time for parents with young children, or even throughout promotion and schools, hosting ‘story time’ in classroom registration sessions or assemblies. Today, after both of my meetings, I will return to the library and continue with the annotation of the rest of the images from my research trip to MOSI. I also have more images to upload from this.

Today I have also decided to venture to the charity shops to see if there is anything which will inspire me with regards to promotional items, or even with regards to props for my photo shoot. I have also decided to set up an EBay account of look for items of interest online, in the hope that they will arrive in time for my photo shoot.

I have printed off my report and will proofread through this myself once more today. Once I have completed this, and made the necessary changes to the document I will send this over to the proofreader to check through for me.

At present I feel that I am on track with regards to writing the report, however I feel that I need to ensure that my research is up to date so that – once the report is submitted – my focus can be entirely on the production of the promotional items.

I have been communicating with a company about producing badges for me, and may negotiate payment of these this week. Once I have these badges I will conduct a photoshoot on a children’s rucksack, in the studio or even on location. This will enable people to see how my final output will be executed and how it will actually be incorporated into my final campaign.
