Day 2: Brainstorming, Discussing, Being Creative

Yesterday was our first day in the office, which is situated in the Campbell River Enterprise Centre (we are very grateful to Rivercorp for providing the space!). We brainstormed our goals, objectives, expectations and challenges associated with the project, as well as our impressions so far from our contact with Habitat and the partner families.  Then we moved into developing metaphors as we come up with ideas for the style, the story, and the message of our short.

Another wall is covered in goals and outcomes for the short film

Metaphors related to the project are represented on sticky notes and in artwork from our Aug 19th House Jam for Habitat

The entire day was extremely interesting and productive -- it's hard to put twelve creative people in a room and not generate a ton of ideas! The brainstorming continued after we left the studio, too: the Team further explored concepts during dinner and on the ferry. We aim to continue that flow of creativity throughout the next two weeks, so remember to click back here daily to see how it's going!
