Search Tool for CCA Animation Majors_Interview Script

Hi, my name is XXX. Thank you for taking your time to participate in this interview. We are currently designing a search tool for CCA animation students.

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Ethnicity:

Specialization (2D, 3D, storyboard, rigging, etc.):

1. Can you walk me through how you create your animations step by step?

2. What tools do you use to look for inspirations or reference?

3. Do you ever struggle with the tool you use to search currently? If you could fix anything about your search tool, how would you improve it?

4. If this tool you just imagined, was a possibility, what kind of impact would that make in your working process?

5. That’s it for my questions. Is there anything else you’d like to tell me about what we’ve discussed?

(Later on - Didn’t ask the following questions)

Our concept about this new search tool is having an archive specific for behavioral clips. You’d be able to put in key words such as, timid, shy, angry, confused - and you’d be able to get variety of ways in how humans express these emotions through their body/face language.

1. What are your thoughts on this tool?

2. Do you see this tool improving you current workflow or getting in the way of your own creative process?

3. How else would you improve this tool?
