B is still deep into special effects and computer modelling &#8211; he&#8217;s been trying to learn how to motion track facial features today. D and I encouraged him to try to have a plan for some kind of outcome from what he&#8217;s doing rather than just learning for the sake of it &#8211; but he seems happy to just work on doing something all day and doesn&#8217;t seem to feel the need to have some bigger motivation than just learning how to do something &#8211; which is fair enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B has started his &#8220;read a pile of books as high as myself&#8221; project and has done a life-size outline of himself to record his progress &#8211; this was up to yesterday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EdhyMwpX0AArYPM-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-825\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EdhyMwpX0AArYPM-768x1024.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EdhyMwpX0AArYPM-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EdhyMwpX0AArYPM-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EdhyMwpX0AArYPM-800x1067.jpeg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/EdhyMwpX0AArYPM.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>F really liked the idea of having a lifesize drawing of herself and after a few false starts she completed the drawing today &#8211; of herself wearing headphones (because she likes music), wearing a waistcoat (because that&#8217;s her favourite outfit), on a skateboard and eating a tuna melt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon B and F worked on a screenplay, and although it was rather a difficult experience for me listening to the process, they did work on it together for quite some time without any serious fallings out &#8211; which is impressive and unusual.
