After speaking with Sinead about possibilities of what the context of my animations could be, I referred back to my survey where people had told me their stories of riding or learning to ride a bike as a child. I thought to develop these into recordings that overlap my animations from a Zoetrope, similar to how Fusco's created her films with Rebecca Davies. Me and Sinead agreed that using a children's voice would be quite a good choice as it's people reminiscing about their childhood. On the same day as my tutorial, I visited Seb AKA The Bike Man, who is a bicycle mechanic in Norwich. It was great to meet and visit Seb and to see his workspace. It was great to see his personal space and how he works. Seb himself is a bike enthusiast and I gathered a lot of information about Seb and cycling being a hobby then later on a career for him, as well as different type of bicycles and the sort of people that would visit him for repairs or to buy/hire. I found each bike in his space filled with different characteristics and personalities, not one was alike another. I also documented some of what Seb had told me to record later on for the idea I developed earlier this day.
