Some more animated shorts for inspiration. "Home Sweet Home" by Pierre Clenet, Alejandro Diaz, Romain Mazevet and Stéphane Paccolat This one is a really nice story plus its beautiful.

The brief is to take the audio from a something like the Jeremy Kyle show and create an animation with it. We had our first group meeting about the project today to brainstorm initial ideas. We are going to develop these for a week...
