Last night I had the most inspiring sense ever.
It was one of those moments where you just think about something, then at least 30 minutes later you've found yourself drowned in an entire development of this creative splurge.
Im not exactly why it happened but a lot of the time its doesnt have an explanation, but its this amazing thing I find.
Im pretty sure it all started with this simplest of thoughts, one of those, well I could do this....
& it was of a theme that I have to choose for my university portfolio application, it was about a button.
OF ALL DAMN THINGS A BUTTON.
(but yeah a BUTTON, then WATER, I mean WATER, like really? this is the best I can come up with?)
So anyways it then turned into these thoughts, one after another, after another.
First of all it was 'Shit, I told my cousin I would do that series of him, I should do that...'
    Which then fell into...ideas.
           Miraculous thing really, since I had so many and then got stuck. Photogs block. ha.
                  So I managed to come up with scenes of him, sitting on the roof of his car, up close shots,
          different ones on the subway, etc and just more elaborate to the ones I already had. Which then led me to his friend, who always asked me to do some of her. Only problem is I need ideas for her, I have some, just am not completely sure about them. Mostly due to lack of equipment unfortunately, seeing as how my ideas are indoor sets. As for you cousin, you'll be freezing your ass off in a few weeks :) 

After all this passed, which was a good 15-20 minutes, that was over, but the inspiration was still there. Now this whole time, I've been listening to my ipod on shuffle and riding in the backseat of the car, on the way home from Orangeville. & the song There, There Katie by jACK'S mANNEQUIN comes on.
And it starts again.
It started with me thinking about how when Im riding in a car, or just tuning out listening to the words of a song, I come up with videos, or music video concepts. So thats exactly what happened.
   Now the song is about Andrew McMahon's sister, who he wrote it for when he was sick, and needed
     a bone marrow transplant(from what i remember). With my thoughts, I was going through it as if I were to   
       do one, because I have before. Mind you, in highschool. With a shitty camera, and it was very
         rough. At the same times I though of making it all 'shaky' or 'choppy' like, if that makes sense.
It would like I've taken a photo of every second, or half-second, and then played them all really fast one after another like slides, making it into a stop-motion video. HA! FINALLY GOT THE NAME.
Then it turned into who I would use in it, then what scenes I would do to match the words, then where I would film the scenes. Last of course, thinking of when I would do it, seeing as how Im thinking in the now of the images in my head. Also the equipment and camera I would use, since my lovely Nikon doesnt have video capability. I would either settle for my crappy Panasonic, or for a new HD video camera. But then the stupidest thought dawned on me. Why would I need a video camera, if I was doing a stop-motion video? YOU WOULDNT YOU FOOL. So I've discovered that I can easily do my video idea, considering all I would need to do I meticulously make sure that all my settings are the correct, and ideal for continuity, and

                    wA - lA !

                                there you have it folks. a video.
thank you, thank you, thank you muchly 

so back to reality, the entire thing comes to a closing as I make it home all the creativity is done for, it was...............
completely.
freaking.
AWESOME.
