starting up the old motor.... vvvrrrrrruuoooooommmmmm............. getting those creative juices going again.... fighting the world a little right now... fighting some people in my life right now... mostly fighting myself. i have my first intermedia project due in 1 week... and i think i just got my idea.... with some film i shot in patagonia... and selected readings from Charles Darwin's diary of the beagle and of Julio Popper's diary in spanish on his early expeditions... i will
compose a mystical journey of an early expedition into patagonia... this sounds very jackie goss.. esque.... i like it. she made me feel like i can be creating video and art for my whole life and the world will be better... when she came last year to iowa... that night was more inspiring than many other nights have been.... anywhoozle.... i will perhaps animate a bit of this as well.... rotoscope??? maybe... i will need to find some video of explorers... hmmmm.... and some found sound... of seagulls and wind in the desert..... and glaciars breaking off perhaps... maybe i can cross cut some of the expedition with my expedition into patagnoia... some of my fotos... :)... IT CAN BE PERSONAL... :) so first... i must transfer the super8 film to video... damn... i should've already sent that to be transferred to lost in light ... well i can fix it up later.. i suppose.... film whatever video i need for this... read and select writings... act them on video... maybe try and find some clothing...... and a ship... lisa has a telescope.. my front porch can be a ship... i think...or on my roof...on a cloudy day... blown out. blues.... very blue..... ok... the animation i need to do on friday... and saturday. this is serious... i can definitly blue screen some of this. so sound is important... this is what brainstorming is all about... :)
todo bien.... tengo una vida satisfecha... por ahora.
