What has been the most challenging aspect of getting work done on this project thus far? How are you addressing this challenge?
Getting an adequate amount of work done on this project has been difficult because I have had to divide my time between several classes, plus, y'know, eating and stuff. School is a lot. Projects take time. There is only a finite amount of time in a given day.
I have addressed this challenge by sleeping fewer hours and spending more hours anxiety-vomiting than I would normally in a given week.

1. I would like the audience to laugh at my piece.
2. I want the audience to think the kid is terrible. I want them to be either ambivalent or sympathetic to the clerk.
3. A lack of laughter would leave me disappointed. I would really like for the audience to laugh. A good review would simply tell me that my jokes were funny and my designs were appealing. Or, as Chris Magee has more astutely elucidated, it would compliment my dark, absurdist, dead-pan humor.

What is your relationship to the main character?
What experience of yours inspired you to create him/her/it?
I have no real relationship to the annoying fat kid in my animation, but I guess I hate him [that's the intent, though, so it's okay]. I guess this character was inspired by how generally annoying and terrible I find most [about 99% of] children. For the last seven summers I have worked as a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor at a lake in my hometown, so I have worked around a fair amount of kids in my time. I have found that regardless of how nice, mean, or apathetic towards them you may be, kids will always be obnoxious. Especially kids around middle school aged, which is the age group the kid in my animation falls into. They are the worst, most depraved creatures on God's green earth. So I suppose that's what inspired the little shit who stars in my animation.
