Hi Katy - apologies for the delay, but it's been a busy week. Okay - well, obviously you and I have had a chat already about simplifying your story and ensuring that your focus is on the 'performing object' and making the most of the 'logic' deriving from the combination of your object and the behaviour given it. I think your story is now much more focused on the priority of you showing that you understand the principles of animation - and the inherent comedy of a drunk Tuba. You'll want to remember that exaggeration is a key principle of animation, so don't be afraid to fully exploit the physicality of your Tuba; you might want to look at 'rubber hose' animation as a style - as it 'rubberises' everything and allows for big, exaggerated movements.

I may have missed a post in regard to your animation essay? If so, I apologise, but could you get your introduction on here for me to take a look at. In your last feedback in regard to your essay, I picked up on a slight 'roboticism' about your style, so I'll be looking for improvement here and move towards greater variety and a more fluid writing style.
