Feedback from Kathryn via Rachel: this show seems to be exploring issues that tweens (9-12 year olds) are dealing with so my target audience is not the 4-8 year olds. A new research question will be required, one that FITS my project. I can hold off on finalizing it for a few weeks. Talk to Ruth about this when she gets back. Keep writing dissertation outline, especially in light of where the project has been, is now, and where it could be going.
This sounds good to me- I'd rather make a show that finds an audience rather than try to make a show for a specific age group. I'm not a social worker or educator and they would know how to write to one group over another. Tweens it is!
Rachel had a look at the new scene and said get animating! Who said I needed 3-4 minutes?
This also sounds good to me. The 3-4 minutes requirement was just in my head as proof that I had DONE SOMETHING this year. Rachel says that I'm also doing a pitch bible and this is my proof of concept.
I'm going to start with the parts that I KNOW are pure animation and if I have time put in a live action child actor and bean bag. The mascot will be a last minute thing.

This about a new opening/intro sequence: does Girl NEED to talk about her problem in a cold open? Can the idea that she's a real kid who goes into the Imagination Warehouse to think be part of that intro?
