Film/Sculpture - Changing my Mind

 Greeting Humans

Today is Friday 28th of September

Yesterday and the night before I had a panic attack about the filming of my short film as it brought back bad emotions and memories and also I had a huge pressure to get it perfect. So yesterday I had a chat with James (our tutor) and we come to a decision that I'll be doing a different project and that might in-corrupt into the exhibition at the end of the year. As in animation and in photography/printmaking I am doing a D&D (Dungeon and Dragons) theme paper so I should do a speed creation of the player dairies that I thought of making for my team for Christmas, but it'll be a early present to the guys as I'll be making it and giving it to them and probably filming them. 

So that was just verbal diarrhea there, Ill try and clarify it better. So in D&D the players have character sheets of their characters, so when we play we reference to the sheets to see if our character could do the thing we said they can do. On top of that we have spell sheets (magic sheet) for those who are magic casters. There is a lot in D&D and its hard to clarify easy through a few words. So I'll show a few sheets below, there is sometimes ever more sheets that some players have but these are the main ones.

Character sheet

Backstory sheet

Spell/caster sheet

Other than that, we as players have a tenancy to lose papers and get them dirt/over use so it'll be harder and harder to use. This way the characters can be use over and over and will be a legend for years to come.

I got this idea to do this book idea through Facebook as the product I came across was a good idea, but after I went through the process it was very expensive. Even though I love my group I'm not spending over $500 for everyone to get a book. Ill show the website that I originally got the idea of a player character journal.

My Research on designing on the Player Journals

So before comforting James about my mental state with filming my previous project I did do some sketches and some Pinterest research, which you can look through by using this link:

Here is the rough notes I jotted down before for how to make them. Tonight is D&D so I'll be talking to the players tonight to see what their character (if their character carries a journal/book) what would it look like.
