For Week Three, we collaborated with exceptional commercial photographer and retoucher, Christoph Prevost. The theme to this week was “happenstance.”When creatives take their hands off the wheel and stop trying to control every detail, suddenly there is room for happy accidents, luck, and a certain magic. Many of Hollywood’s most famous lines are unscripted (Hey I’m walking here!) because tapping into flow beats planning every time (when there’s a flow to find). We pushed this concept as far as a producer possibly could in the sense that we needed models, but brought none—on purpose. We put up a few posts on social media about our whereabouts and intention, but the pieces never fell into place with actors magically appearing out of thin air. It was a cold, snowy day and passers-by were in no mood either. In a last minute panic I went to pull my kids out of school. I was at the gates when Christoph called with a great idea: we’ll use statues instead. That, to me, was what this was all about. The pressure of time creates a resourceful state of mind—practice in this state serves to refine it. Pragmatic creativity like this is developed at Destination Imagination, giving your kids a lifelong edge that can be applied in any industry. #destinationimaginationn #pragmaticcreativity #fourhourchallenge #christophprevost #queenepark #creativekids #youneverknowwhatwillcomeoutoftheirheads (at Queen Elizabeth Park, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ4euJ9FZLW/?utm_medium=tumblr
