Welcome to Earth

Hallo!
I've had an eventful weekend! I started a virtual drug ring on the video game Arma III, wrote a short film, seen the excellent The Nice Guys, and finished the first film project for this class.

While I really want to talk about my cartel I'll just stick to film stuff for now. I never really seemed to get Brakhage's film style when I was just cursorily watching it in 200 and 205. It seemed too scattershot and  unfocused. Well I watched Dog Star Man in it's entirety and I'll be the first to tell you that I was wrong.

I loved the film. It felt like pure invention, like Holy Motors or Fantastic Planet. This caused me to look back on my project with Paul. We didn't know where we were going with it, we were just creating. There was no creative mooring and it felt strange and uncomfortable at first. I grew to enjoy it while working with the class on Friday. I loved talking to everybody and getting into their artistic head spaces. I hope that what I learned from them will help my film in the end but I guess that I'll find out tomorrow.

This project taught me to be comfortable venturing forth into the artistic unknown. Also Cory has a great taste in music. Let her DJ the class.

P.S
Here is the film I was talking to you about Shannon. If anybody else wants to watch it, its and exceptional experimental documentary.
