I had a chance to speak to a class yesterday about the process of starting a research thesis, but instead of the information flowing one way, I learnt a few things that are relevant to what I'm doing.
"But also... what I found, from going around the world, was that kids who come from a small village, who have no money, no nothing, they can draw a moustache on themselves with a pen, and suddenly, they are Sportacus. They can put a hat on their head, and they are Sportacus. I wanted it to be so easy to imitate that any kid from Brazil or Mexico could do it." - Magnus Scheving aka Sportacus from The Indepedent
If there's a lesson I can learn from stuff that targets the under 6 demographic, is that imitation and emulation works.
"It’s all about action, and excitement," Scheving says, still pacing restlessly. "This is a show that makes kids want to get up and do something RIGHT NOW! Copy Sportacus! Get energy from eating sports candy! Do Stephanie’s dance! Sing!" from Times Online
Can I do this too? Can I do what Jamie Oliver does?
