Project urban space

A final cheque comes through so I'm fluid for the meanwhile. Things to do and people to see. Lots to write in scripts anyway but a little expenditure is needed.

So this saturday sees the beginning of the transfer of my stuff to the new workshop. It will take toime to organise but I think it will hopefully really give me a zone to retreat to and just create and be in my own space.

I'll need help of course and right now too. But first breakfast and an indulgence or two. Tomorrow definitely sushi, if Glen is available...

New changes to the status quo

Circumstance is a funny thing. Often we despise the inconvenience of it but this particular turn brings an interesting result. The necessary relocation of my gear has allowed me a new creative space and it will include recording ability.

But first a very necessary cleanup and cleanup I indeed will. The difference will be quite substantial. Pictures of before and after hopefully to follow soon.

Train wrecks ahead

What do you do when you are informed of coming disaster and it is inevitable? So now I'm faced with an inevitable event and some measure sadly involves me. Find a new home for my tools is the big thing. Considerations are also fly all the stuff? Currently until further I just don't know..... Another day of shades of blue

Maybe scratch that

The feeling is waning and right now I don't particularly feel like I want to empower anybody but me. So before I change my mind yet again....nah I'll just be a little self absorbed and indulge me.. :)

So many options yet again

Every now and again in my travels I get presented with or discover new opportunities for sometimes, many things on many different levels. Although enlightnening, often I get overwhelmed with the possibilities that flood my mind and being a difficult thing to follow through I get sometimes severly bummed. So now I'm presented with the "you should... " so called advice advocating a "safe" employment path. Not a dull thing but limited thing compared to what I sometimes believe my realised potential could be. So although I've not committed to any action yet, again I need to stop and take stock before proceeding... Oy

Try concentrate on one thing

Ok. So you find you have an aptitude for a few different things. Which do you concentrate on? Cos if you don't use it you lose it...mmmm. It kinda makes for a tall order to keep it all going. In the process you lose the capacity to earn because its "not what you do" so you'd think you have effectively become a generalist and not worth too much to anybody. What if all the things you can do are related and you're quite good at all of them? Not so mediocre then? So of the many things I can do right now matchmoving and compositing art my newest with good results so I'll sharpen that blade for a while. Oh Lord just don't let me end up deluding myself and becoming the next Ed Wood.

In the Beginning...

There was a creative guy and he could do many things. And he decided to chronicle all these things on the web....
