Filling in the Gaps
Work has been a little slow - been working on some flyers and brochures lately that ive been trying real hard to come up with a concept for... arrrgh - its a love and hate kind of relationship i have with this conceptual stage of the creative arts...... all a part of the game i guess.
Not been feeling too well lately - probably something to do with this new diet that i am on - although i must say that it has been quite rewarding. Anyway its the season to eat, drink and be merry, so diet and workout can be on hold for the next two weeks.
Got a visit from them the Chinese DVD Santa and i indulged in the purchase of some mainstream hollywood flicks - The Day after Tommorow, Dawn of the Dead ( which din't end up working ), Collateral, Princess Diaries 2 and 21 Grams -- Ho Hum stuff really.. although 21 grams with its fragmented nonlinear narrative structure was a good deviation from some of the crap that i've been watching recently.
21 Grams comes from the same impressive team of Guillermo Arriaga and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu who had previously made 'Amores Perros' - remember being baffled by the nonlinearity of the film when Kim showed it to us at media theory class a few years back.After watching the film (21 grams - watch trailer), i felt inspired to revisit an article called 'filling in the gaps' i remembered reading in the Res Magazine a few months back in Melbourne. It makes very interesting references to nonlinear storytelling - click here to read article (important bits are highlighted)
