I think its a kind sit around with your friends and talk through it kind of movie. Laugh at these parts kind of movie Lets talk about what they're talking about kind of movie. <br />I've seen waking life, which is a really good great movie in itself and for what it is. I've noticed though in all of Linklater's movies he seems to have this formula down. And wanting to be a film student, an apprentice I'm going to put my mind to it and watch me some movies. And talk about these movies. And go full blast on what these movies are talking, saying to me. going down. going down for the enjoyment. going down for the critique. going down to learn. going down to feel good. going down to imaginify. going down to come back up again. going down for the whole experience. but going down nonetheless. So here's what I gather from Linklater. What his thought process/ production/film making schema is...<br /><br />Richard Linklater<br /><br />based around conversations, and odd characters, compelling characters<br />the outsiders' point of view, lifestyle is being touched upon<br />the camradery inside of that<br /><br />the scenario- the questioner, or the non-suspecting person who just happens to be the ear, there is always someone who doesn't know. the newbie, the person who has to be told<br /><br />Art infused, Semi-grunge culture, frivolous living, Poor bohemian lifestyle<br />college kids, eccentrics, dwellers, passerbys, weird scenarios, careless conversations, rants, thoughtful persuaders, homeless, naturalists<br /><br />Stripped Down. Things happen naturally, Everyday living, Everyday talk. Anthropological look on grunge American youth Culture<br />" Hey how's it going?"<br />"I just got back from Dallas"<br />"Dallas, what were you doing in the hospital?"<br />Just think<br /><br /><br />"I'll probably go back next week and dance on his grave"<br />A man with a sandal and a house shoe on walking away from a coffee shop<br /><br />Wish Me LuckKam Kam Speaker I

I am talking to myself here. Her. It has been a long time. But its good to be back. Be back thinking about making. Thinking about going. Thinking about creating. Thinking about being ok. Thinking and Not thinking. Just beeing in a space that feels comfortable and sometimes thats what is needed. <br /><br />So it's Christmas time and its defintely about being happy and having fun and good gracious thats just what Im going to do. Have a good time and put my mind down to the grind. Put it down and Put it up. <br /><br />I have a video here of a thesis in making that I have been putting my mind and efforts into. It is not a cohesive mass yet that I feel is ready to be out in the world yet but there is no harm in sharing my thoughts and the effort that I've put into it thus far. <br /><br />If anything I hope that you can grasp a feeling of possible impossiblility...anything is possible. Whatever you feel and from that go on to shape shift the world your story into what you want it. What you see it as. I believe thats all I have to sy here other than the product that you are about to see is a collection of people of experiences of dreams after the fact. Here over 30 interviewees are selected randomly without previous notification. They are then taken to a secret location and given a topic having to do with dreams. Alone, they will press play and talk for two minutes until their time is up. This is what they had to say.<br /><br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I4-vHqQfJfA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I4-vHqQfJfA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Kam Kam Speaker I amhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13901706195985354014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825747119909257325.post-13875005893705812492008-12-24T14:49:00.000-08:002008-12-24T14:50:25.339-08:00Why does the Caged Bird Sing: MayaCaged Bird <br /><br />A free bird leaps <br />on the back of the wind <br />and floats downstream <br />till the current ends <br />and dips his wing <br />in the orange sun rays <br />and dares to claim the sky. <br /><br />But a bird that stalks <br />down his narrow cage <br />can seldom see through <br />his bars of rage <br />his wings are clipped and <br />his feet are tied <br />so he opens his throat to sing. <br /><br />The caged bird sings <br />with a fearful trill <br />of things unknown <br />but longed for still <br />and his tune is heard <br />on the distant hill <br />for the caged bird <br />sings of freedom. <br /><br />The free bird thinks of another breeze <br />and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees <br />and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn <br />and he names the sky his own. <br /><br />But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams <br />his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream <br />his wings are clipped and his feet are tied <br />so he opens his throat to sing. <br /><br />The caged bird sings <br />with a fearful trill <br />of things unknown <br />but longed for still <br />and his tune is heard <br />on the distant hill <br />for the caged bird <br />sings of freedom.Kam Kam Speaker I amhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13901706195985354014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825747119909257325.post-37077631191178145162008-07-25T13:30:00.001-07:002008-07-25T13:30:54.002-07:00cccccCCCCHHHHHyyyyyyyeeeeeAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHhhh!!!!!!!!Media Lab community,<br /><br />We know how hard it is to create a film and Media Lab Studios wants you<br />to be rewarded for your hard work.

I've been having this obsession with these street lights right outside of my school. Its the perfect place for something to happen. Anything. I always notice at night all these trucks go by. It feels like Something kinkified type shit could happen. A housewife could run out of her house into the night never to be seen again, a man from the mental institution next door could run for his life, or a some kid could just wond down the street. It could happen. Who's to say it hasn't already? you got the hitchiker feel too. I was trying to go off of this theme that anything could happen in the night. Its one of the worst and best times you know? Your imagination is free to run wild in the best or worst kind of way.<br />Once I finished editing, and a bit while I was filmming, I had this feeling that I sometimes shoot alot of machines or mechanical things. It felt cold or a little bland which I want to steer away from. I hope it didnt come out that way. Maybe this isn't true but thats what I felt a little but not so much while I was editing. So, I thought of machines in the night. Like...look at all this rickety looking shit! It almost has a feel of what life could be like when technology or machinery has become rustic or disregarded. <br /><br />"Williamson Night Machines" Short Short Shorts 2x a week: Trying out.
