#sillyproject

After realizing that all of my ideas were pretentious sh*t and not entertaining in the slightest I finally got an idea that was worth pursuing. 

I am working on a short film about the way to not make art, essentially documenting my struggle to produce something that can be labeled as ‘art’. 

Now to a recap on what happened during my autumn break: news flash not a lot.

I could not make anything entertaining or happy but since I refused to make a memorial to my sadness I simply laid down and did nothing. However near the end of the break I eventually managed to leave my personal pitty party (oh snap an alliteration) and started to work on the project I mentioned above. 

Now I regret not being productive during my break. But I know I was not my fault and I try to not beat myself up for it. 

What inspired me to make a short film with more plot in it was “Dead Man” by Jim Jarmusch. This film is perfect in every way, I want to marry it.

It’s from 1995 and for once Johnny Depp does not play a ‘weird’ character.

Well to sum it up my break was not eventful but I still managed to come back from the void and started to make a cool short film, awesome!

While I am writing this text I am hearing the song Facade thus the rather strange title. I am currently endorsed in the Discworld and especially interested in Ankh-Morporks Patriarch. The song was in a character playlist on 8Tracks and its been in my head all day. 

Funnily it actually fits the plans I have for my video installation. I bought a plaque mask while I was in Venice last week. It looks a bit like this one:

It will be the face for one of the two main actors in the installation. Recently it occurred to me that my video will probably be much more narrative than I intended it to be but I do not really mind. 

I often remind myself that all these drafts and ideas are worthless if I am not getting my sorry ass up and actually make something out of them... I still procrastinate though. (note to self: more motivation!) 

Yeah sorry for the delay, the original post was rotting in the queue but here I finally am!

So about this blog. Even though this is the first post on it we actually already reached a tumblr-milestone because the first porn-blog is following us, hurray! But seriously these spam-blogs are really getting out of hand.

Also please excuse my excessive use of GIFs, I just cannot help it.

An important note! I’d like this blog to have a tagging system therefore general post will be tagged with #pinkupdate and every member will have an individual tag which they can choose. 

Mine will be #sillyproject  I am probably going to post some bits and pieces of my work progress later this week :)

A few words on my creative progress are under the cut!
