Oh god, that's the problem - I am a design and animation graduate student, yes, BUT we can't just go animate or create interface designs or installations willy-nilly, they have to have substance and purpose....
The audience must be identified and the contribution to said audience must be established and executed in a thoughtful, logical way...
so in other words, in order to do an animation, which is inspired by slice of life, which is what I want to do, I must give it a purpose.
and I've decided this purpose should be to provide western anime fans a presence in the media they love...
by doing an anime-style piece with a western protagonist who gets to live within a japanese realm, if only temporarily...
i like to think this image sums things up nicely
