The new project is on dialogues. This is a group project where with a group I'll have to make a publication of some sort that explores the theme of dialogue. I started this project by trying to think of iconic or famous dialogue from movies, TV or books. I could only think of one example of this though. Pulp Fiction (Tarantino, 1994)
Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.

After working with this dialogue I decided to continue working with any dialogue from movies that interested me. This includes extracts from movies like: Forrest Gump, Little Miss sunshine, In bruges and more. I mainly turned these into a variety of little cartoons and played around with the way i presented them.

This idea was influenced by Robert Shaw's 'Reading between the lines' on which Shaw takes quotes, mainly from movies, and illustrates them in some way.
