timeline
I miss not knowing what the timeline is in some repsects. When I worked in anime the timeline was everything. You had 4 weeks, thats it, to do a film. You make the box, you make the ad's, you craft the titles, you write the scripts, you get the actors, it's your show. Yet its not. Ok so it wasn't really our show. But for anyone to buy and think it was their show it had to be our show first.
Even ADV's timeline was weak at best but it was the order beacon in the sea of chaos. I like knowing that by the time xmas arrives you WILL have done x, y, z, and h.
Maybe part of the problem is research. Research is chaos, its the orderless process of finding truth. Since anything can happen you need to be ready for anything! Which is like saying "yep lets fly no wait take the bus, nah lets walk oh better yet we'll surf!" gah pick one!!
Ya know i keep feeling the nudge the prickly sensation that I MUST DO X, its calling me, I belted it out with a roar of laughter for a moment in time yet somehow that moment of time was its birth.. it calls me, craft me, MAKE ME! Like i laughed an idea sparked and now it sits on the self.. #4343040034.2b waiting to be made. Sometimes I laugh it off, haha.. other times i feel it calling me from the shelf... "hey man you thought of me, now im here, get over here and make me... I KNOW YOU can..". I see myself standing there in the door frame staring at hundreds of screaming ideas, all chatting to each other not me even.. they are self occupied with other ideas like a shelf of brains talking to each other chatting on todays gossip. One however makes eye contact with me, hes in the "newly conceived" waiting room for dan's ideas. And he looks pissed. Craft me damnit! MAKE ME!!
It was a particularly crafty idea. Its another dan classic fake but seems real idea. Presenting something to provoke a response, present suggestion, make them wonder yet in actual form, the idea is simple, not truthful what so ever. So much that i love it. So maybe I should do it.
Part of me thinks why do I love the false. Its like i dont think i'll ever been a season three casnio bingo champion, nope, highly doubtful, but a signed plaque on the wall, thats got character, go make that.
I seem to put alot of gusto behind the notion of sparking people, infusing the question in them when you didnt ask one litterily. What is the wonder of being human and interacting with a our enviroment and interpurting our senses and drives and desires and lusts that make us go yahoooooooo! Ever seen Dark City? I like the way the mad doctor had a formula for memories to create personalities. Could it be that simple?
What are people expecting? Ok if they are expecting X, give them Y and make them love it. Granted its totally hit or miss. And if you miss, die gracefully..... so much that they follow you home. Ha!
