As I was working on my pictures, I realized that I had strayed from my original point of focus : the letters. They were what I had accumulated and they should be at the center of my project. I thus decided to cut up the letters to reduce them to their building blocs the words. That is when I thought about stop motion. Through animation I can let the letters come to life and really represent what they mean to me.

I rejected this idea because I thought it wasn't concentrating on the letters enough and the link between the cut up words from the letters and the transforming object wasn't strong enough.

===Second test with Stop motion===
I came up with another idea to present the idea of a relationship through letters. The letter I received from my friend would cut itself up and rearrange itself to form the answer to this letter that I would send back to my friend.
I tried to cut the letter up in stop motion a first time, but I only managed to get 40 pictures, altough I felt like I had many more. This could not create a long enough and smooth enough animation.
