After being given the topic of Love to explore and develop into an animation, I began with a word association diagram that expands from Love into various different avenues that I can combine to make a starting point for the animation. I could pick a few different words from this and see if they match to make an idea for a good short story; One example would be "Pigeon", "Dove" and "Soap". A pigeon tries desperately to get a Dove to like him by washing with soap everyday. Another example could be "Socks", "Match", "Pair". Two socks in love with each other but are different in appearance, forced to forever be apart. The other socks that they are put with are irritating and unhygienic which makes them want to be paired together even more. Eventually they are given away together and someone else pairs them together finally as the only pair of socks they own.
This would be a longer narrative but its twists and turns would make it more compelling and emotionally captivating to the audience.
This would be something to consider when it comes to developing an idea further.
