In the first week, we were introduced to the course brief and the main project options for this term. The brief explained that animation can be used not only to tell a story, but also to build a world, test ideas, and create different kinds of experiences. After reading the brief, I decided to choose Brief 1: Expanded Animation / Context and Practice. I chose this brief because it gives me more space to explore my own interests, such as 3D animation, real-time environments, and interactive storytelling. I think this direction is suitable for my project and can help me experiment with new tools and workflows.
