Identity

The first thing that I thought of about myself in planning for this assignment was how dichotomous I am in many ways. I am an extroverted personality, but I love people. I am a visionary, but a detail oriented person. I also realized that the person who could tell you more about me than me is my wife. That got me thinking that she is the rectification and completion of my victimizing dichotomy. As I am involved 100% or nothing, she challenges me to develop a middle ground in many aspects. I discovered that, in a very realistic sense, she completes me. Although she may not view herself this way, she is the constant in my mixed up, altered identity.

Fear response

I was very pleasantly surprised to see the reaction to my project. It was slightly more than a chuckle as a hypothesized and it was requested to be watched again and the response was even better the second time. I think I may have the makings of a cult classic, if it keeps getting better on subsequent watches.

The project that I responded most to was the spider of pipe cleaner. The mystery of the unknown with the possibility of a fear of mine being involved made me pretty uncomfortable.

Fear Hypothesis

I predict that people will find it chuckle or giggle funny. It will not be a full belly laugh but more of a "That's cute" chuckle. I am unsure about the beginning. There may be a moment where people jump.

3.1.10 Review

I loved discussing the gestational period of the kappa monster. It was especially great watching the time lapse video of the development within the womb. It was amazing how similar it is to human gestation and it makes me wonder if we actually evolved from the kappa instead of the monkey.

Ink from the Makers of Pen

It was great to watch the movie. It was wonderfully composed and executed with the manipulation of the timeline. It gave me some great creative ideas of how to do shots and story.

Scheduled Free Time

This week I spent my free time playing guitar. I learned a pretty intense guitar solo that I had always loved, but never had the time to sit down to learn. It's still pretty shaky, but after a couple hours with it, it's a lot better than nothing. I also spent some time watching the movie Shrink. It was very inspiring as a potential writer and storyteller as it showed that story can come from anywhere. It was also kind of cool because I could imagine that the writer put himself in the story and it was pseudo autobiographical. So that's what I did with my time off. Now I have to spend time catching up with my life that has past me by while I've been ignoring it.

Sleek imagery

When I was thinking about circles I was noticing how many companies use the circle to promote their business. It got me wondering why. As I researched the meaning of the circle, I realized why the circle is so appealing within the business world. It has no beginning or end. It is smooth without any edges to deal with. It is able to roll when trouble arises. All of these are appealing elements within marketing. It is a sleek, smooth customer who has been and will be here forever.
