Inspiration through people

Theres another thing thats currently happening to me id like to write about.

A few weeks ago i saw a character design done by one of our matte painters... and i liked it a lot.
As i was on the threadmill at the gym this character came back to my mind and i thought about creating a story around that character... later that evening on the bus i had a basic idea for an adventure for this character... not a whole story... just the beginning... a setup :-)
I had nothing more for several weeks... but then suddenly (on the bus again) it came to me like a flash... i typed everything down on my phone because i didnt want to loose it and had nothing else to write on me. I almost missed my stop because i was so into it.
I pitched it to my workmate and he liked it... but not just him... everyone at work liked it... another guy (actually my cg supervisor) was totally eager to realize it as well...
So we decided to make that movie :-)

That was probably 3 weeks ago... since then ive drawn out rough storyboards, and developed the story to a really cool point. There are still some gaps, but it will come along... because... and thats what im actually talking about...

We are talking about it a lot... and everyone has great ideas... were also defining the look and feel of the world and of course the character needs some work...
This is so incredibly inspiring... both guys have so much knowledge in how to realize such a project and totally support me in realizing my story idea...
Ive never experienced something like that before... im full of energy, wich i can use not just for that short, but also for the other ideas i have... today i was awake 1hour too early... i dont know why... but instead of turning around and do the lazy thing... i got up and worked on another shot i really love and wich will hopefully be finished till end october...

To come to the point... talking to people who are as passionate as myself about our art, and work together to create something special... thats just... hard to describe... its just one of the best experiences ive ever made in my life, and i wish to everyone that you can make this experience yourself...

am i getting a bit emotional recently? ;-)
