New Intention

Orienting

Okay, so the five hour plan got thwarted by too much documentary watching and searching for documentaries to watch. This kept me slunked on the couch for many hours. Not a healthy habit. I am resetting my intention to include a daily summary of my creative process through writing and photos. I am up for aother 100 days but this time I am going to spend at least three hours a day on the creative process. Will watching documentries count? Hmm. Not sure. Let's see how it goes.

Also, I am wanting to take my website offline. In its current state it feels really outdated. I hope to redo the thing to reflect my most current work. But, I dont think I can share the blog without publishing it publicly? I will look into this.

My last entry was eleven days ago and I have lot's to catch up on . Rather than spill it all out at once I will sprinkle it in as needed. Tonight I will share about how I spent my creative, three hours.

I finished shooting the Bolex test roll. I went over Judy's and filmed her walking and gesturing in the garden. I am so glad to have done so. I have know for a long time that I want to make a movie about my mom. Just showing up with the Bolex and the tripod felt daunting for some reason. I have broken through a layer of resistance. Yeah! And making things even better, I organized my computer to easily store all of the media for this project.

Today I took some photos with the Canon as well. I am really starting to understand F-stop, shutter speed, and ISO.

I started sketching the storyboard for "Light"(title in process).

Again I met resistance with this one. I have such a hard time with representaional drawing and thinking about this gets in the way of just doing it. It's an overwhelming feeling of "I dont know how". The only way through is to try and usually someting of what I am trying to say gets across. Tonight I am going to write the story down.

Lots of ideas are coming. Here is a new one. Try to animate the dream about Bill's dying. That will be this weekends goal.

I also spent time writing in the journal. Useful for sure.

Lastly, the photo at the top of the page is a drawing/paiting I have been working on. Not sure if it is done.
