Homage to Frank Gehry.

The "process of creativity" is pretty simple most of the time:

1. combine a couple things in a way nobody else has thought of
2. do it with thoughtfulness, focus, and attention to detail
3. turn would-be mistakes into unique attributes
4. keep going

This (see above image) is a "...giant sculpture for people to go inside of."

I dig it, and I think that possibly Frank Gehry might as well. Or maybe he wouldn't. I haven't talked to him about it.

The poetry of existence.

Mar 27, 2021

Altman played with overlapping dialogue and long handheld shots that kept the focus on people talking and interacting over each other. Rather than the rat-a-tat-tat of one person talking, then another, there were people constantly moving and talking over and around one another in many of his films - and sometimes off-camera - in fact, sometimes the dialogue happening off-camera is more important to moving the story along than what we’re actually seeing.

Malick has crafted many beautiful, provoking, poetic films that also focus on capturing the feeling, the presence, the happening of a moment in earth’s existence, rather than blazing along with the camera directly focusing on the action. There’s an ephemeral presence in his stories that are both contemplative and action; the action of life happening in our peripheral vision, and how that often is the driving force, rather the apparent happening in front of us.

My mom would come out in the front yard and video. A child would fall, and she would keep videoing. Children would argue, and she would keep videoing. Something would happen away from camera, and she would keep videoing - and narrate what was happening.
