My next animation project is at early stages of progression. The idea for the animation is to animate an invisible figure by animation effects that the presence of his body causes on his surroundings, such as the surface of sofa sinking down (by his body weight) as he sits down.

I am about to finish making a storyboard and at next stage I am going to create sets and items with various materials and clay. Some scenes need to be animated with modelling frame by frame in clay, because of the material's unique formable quality. As this is still an experiment project I am playing with the idea of creating many sequences of animation and join them together at editing, fragments of scene awkwardly put together.

The story consists of the time between 'walking home in evening' and 'going to bed' scenes. At this moment there are many ideas for details with which I am going to organise and construct into a consistent story line. I have introduced some of those ideas here in the sketches.
