I started focusing myself a lot on optimism and pessimism, I've started to think on how to make this primary idea a more detailed and get a stronger concept. I've read articles on pessimism and optimism and watching YouTube videos about that as well. One video that has really attracted my attention was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jADnNpx3R4.
Since it relates to my interests; media, society and psychology, it helped me to add depth to this first idea of a boy who can't taste sweet.
I've started designing the 'bones' of my animation through some writings. Basing myself on a few music that I enjoy and one author in particular H. P Lovecraft, from the way they place their words in their works to give it a more poetic feel and bring some emotions and feelings to the sentences, I've written my own sort of poem about what I want to show in the animation. Some of the music that could relate to this are, Le Detenteur by Beyond Creation, which talks about the flaws of humanity and Happiness by IAMX which in some way ask a question about how to be happy.
Look at them with their smile and their ice cream in their hands,
This is just fuel and they make it such a great thing,
Another day, Same person, another ice cream, a more costly one, same thing with sprinkles on it, a different price,
can't they see,
such a waste,
oh, I see, and no, I shall not worship a pile of sugar,
For I can see, He is the devil,
and they are touched by evil,
Alone shall I remain, Far from corruption.
