Feedback from Fuzzy Duck

I've received some feedback from Fuzzy Duck regarding my first attempt of the brief, previously I'd spoken to Matt about my idea of the descriptive writing and film combination and he liked the idea, below is his recent feedback from the piece.

Lyme Park - Research

As an element of research I decided to go to Lyme Park to develop a feeling of a stately home and the grounds I knew would be perfect to film. I filmed a few pieces around the grounds, and got the overall effect of a stately home and what it's like to be in that position and environment. From the research around the environment I was able to be inspired into the passion of the land that the Last Squire of Erddig must have had and the sacrifice it was to give up his legacy.
I'm really liking the textures within the environment and I feel that this is well reflected in the descriptive writing, so I should ensure that I have an appropriate aesthetic for the animation.

Aesthetic Influences - Live Brief

In order to get an idea of aesthetic I've been looking at some interesting videos in order to develop a style.

Fuzzy Duck Live Brief- Erddig Hall

After having had a portfolio criteria with Motion Designer of Fuzzy Duck Matt Geeling, we asked whether he could set a live brief via email to pursue and show at a later date, he and a fellow animator Natalie Wood gave us the following brief:

"Create a 30 to 60 second motion-graphic based on the following theme:
“Visualise the state of mind of a man. A man who will do anything to keep his families legacy together, but by keeping it will destroy it. Or should he give it away, to no longer own it but to allow it to be preserved for others to enjoy”.

This was the fate of the Last Squire of Erddig Hall in Wrexham, Wales. I have attached a few photos that may be of use, which show the building and the man himself. Also, here are a few links that may be helpful:

Feel free to take this in any direction you like, and most importantly, have fun with it! We look forward to seeing what you come up with."

I feel like this could be a really interesting brief, and I have undertaken some research of the house itself: Erddig Hall in Wrexham.
