The music picks up where my thoughts leave off, filling the echoing hall inside my head

[kagiri9]

I lie back on my bed. I've been doing this a lot lately. The music plays... loudly, but not obnoxiously, just loud enough to seep beyond the boundries of my little room, loud enough to take up most of my attention. I'm tired. I'm tired a lot lately. Not too much, not worryingly, just a conflict of my late night instincts and my early morning

I've never had a problem with the dissasociation between vision and product when it comes to my art. The Chase is a good example of piece I am proud of, even though I don't like it. It's the excecution of an idea that I had for a long time that I wanted to use, and it came along nicely.

However, from a technical standpoint, it bothers me because it isn't as good as I know I can do it. That was a restriction of editing experiece, time and resoruces. So, like many of my projects, I want to go back to it and redo it, using my more refined skills and using more time and more resources -- better camera, actors with more time to spare, better dolly, etc.

I find it hard to defend because the product itself is so flawed, even if I love the idea.

The problem when it comes ot programming is that I'm better at the things I'm not interested in, and it's hard for me to complete the tasks I want. Unlike videos, though, when I do complete the idea, if there are any flaws, I /don't/ know how to fix them. So the vision is stuck.

You might want to watch this. It's pertinant. Brain Crack.

But I was arguing against the idea of "The Chase," not its execution. :P

Also, I'm glad that you've never had a problem going from vision to product.

Sure, but I can't say "This is what I was trying to acomplish, and it would be great if I did it right!" Because that isn't a good arguement.

The best I can really say is what I want the viewer to feel/think/whatever, and how I wanted to make them feel it, and beyond that its up to anyone who's viewing to decide if that happens. If it doesn't, the next best thing is to just imagine what it would be like if it happens, which is really a pretty lame second place.
