I dub 2010 the Year of Creativity. I really want to be more creative this year — particularly in the “making of stuff” sense.
It’s very easy for me to think creatively (imaginatively), but just sort of cruise along and not actual produce much of anything.
I’d like to change that.
And I’d like to thank my parents for their out-of-the-blue, over-the-holidays, get-your-ass-in-gear encouragement. Thanks Mom & Dad!
I’ve always been interested in film (aren’t we all?), so I’m going to pursue that. It may or may not lead anywhere, but I won’t really know unless I give it a try — and I’m sure to have fun along the way. So, in keeping with this new goal, I’m going to:
- buy a high-quality amateur camcorder (Red One will have to wait)
- film a short (or two or three…)
- write a screenplay together with my wife (we’ve already begun writing)
- take “Video Production I – Film 130” at the local community college
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.Henry David Thoreau
Stay tuned…
This is brilliant! I think it’s the perfect theme for the year. I really can’t wait to see what you and your wife produce.
