Right, so this week has been more motivated than last week for sure, though still not all that much productive. Until today, and now I'm pulling a marathon session to finish all the stuff I've been procrastinating on for the last week. Anyways, maybe less about my work habits and more about what I have been thinking about, because I am always thinking. Both a blessing and a curse I suppose.
Our current project is all about spectacles. I decided to do another movie, because I don't feel like I'm quite done exploring this process yet. I'm not sure if it is something I will do a lot in the future, but for the moment I'm still fascinated. For me the idea of a spectacle is all about the mundane. Because I consider mundane things spectacles, it makes me think about whether or not other people/things realize that I am watching them, and thus, making them into a spectacle. This brings in the whole idea of who is watching whom, and whether or not they could be watching me and making me into a spectacle, except that I'm not aware of it. Also, I like the idea of how a spectacle feels from the point of view of the watched.
All of that, very logically brought me to animating a pigeon. Of course, this may not seem logical to the random passerby, but it made sense when I was thinking about a lot of that stuff on a park bench in the sun one afternoon and watching the pigeons in the park. Also, I like the concept of pigeons because they are so common place that they tend to become wallpaper that just happens to move (and poop on you). They are not normal fodder for the spectacular, and they are not a point of view from which people normally consider the world.
Well, back to work....
