My week was full of working with artists Marina González and Laura Lofaro on the artwork. This week my goal is to finalize the artwork and continue practicing my pitch as I will be recording my final pitch video with Sony Talent League next week. 

Story & Character

• Character design, arcs and purposes and their learnings have been made. The next step is the clean up the artwork. 
• When working on the characters I ask: Do they look like they are from the same world? How can we use fashion to create individuality and personality?
• Fun fact: The name Rufaro "Ro" means happiness. I chose this name because her character is part of Siu Lan's character arc of sadness to joy. 

Art

• Cover art and logo continues to flourish. The next step is to add characters and some magical spice to the logo.
• Key art will be given colour next. 
• Fun fact: we added personal touches like the rice cooker, Chinese calendar, and Scottish plaid to the kitchen like my childhood home. 
• An important step in growing this story and artwork has been getting opinions from kids. I always ask my cousins what their eyes go to and why. 
  

Pitch

• When the art is done it will be added to the series bible and pitch deck. 
• Memorization has commenced! 

Inspiration

I made a short video of my gong gong speaking about his favourite food memories. I may use this in the final pitch video during the credits or keep it just in my project diary. Here is a sneak peek!
