movie and culture

Finally I saw 'Le magasin des suicides', a 2D animationfilm.
I liked the style very much, but the story...
The main idea was nice, but sometimes there were parts that I didn't really understood what it had to do with the story.
But! Liked it!!

Also went to the theater! To a piece called 'Wonderland'.
It
was
TERRIBLE!
Really, me and my friend, we talked about it for like more than an hour of how bad we thought it was. The story was absolutely not clear, the message they wanted to bring idem dito, and the actrice that played the maincharacter was SO bad, and her voices was afwull. Honestly I was a bit choqued and disappointed.
They do had a nice decor, but they could have done much more with it. But they didn't...

10 commandments revisited

I've been following my ten commandments for like 3 weeks now, but there are gaps!
So I had to adjust them a bit and here's the result:


in English:

1. You shall have ideas, you shall pick 1 out and you have maximum 4 weeks to work on it. You shall repeat this process until the 4th sunday of may. Until than you shall stick to the other nine commandments.

2. Once a day you shall take a picture of yourself and you shall complete your questionnaire. you shall use this for one of your projects!

3. You shall reduce your ecological footprint by becoming a vegetarian. You are allowed to eat fish.

4. Once a week you shall discover a new film or go to a cultural event.

5. Creative as you are, you shall reconsider your 10 commandments after every project. And you shall adjust at least 1 commandment.

6. Sure enough you're an artist, so you shall steal! steal and manipulate it in your benefit!

7. If you leave the train, you shall leave a note for the person that will sit on your warm place. You must be able to verify this.

8. Once a week, you shal sport!

9. Music distracts you from your actual work. For that, you shall only make music as diversion by studying new pieces and not by playing the pieces you already know.

10. After each project, you shall reflect and you will search for a link between your previous project and your new idea.

movie: la grande bouffe

I just finished watching 'la grande bouffe'.
(Marco Ferreri)

I
Feel
Sick


Although the movie is disgusting, there is a story and it has been told pretty well, 'cause otherwise I wouldn't watch it for like two hours. My stomach...
It kind of reminded me to an other movie that made me feel really sick and that I had to stop watching, because it was so... cruel and unfair. It was 'the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover'. Still don't know how it ends...

Got to play some games of 'patience' to calm down and have peaceful dreams, I think.

Concept

Starting my final year animation, I have to make a graduationproject.
I have one year left to find what I'm good at and what I really like to do. So I better use my time usefull!

Instead of following the expected road, I'm going to try something different. The result will be amazing or terribly awful. It's one big guess, but I need to try it. For myself.

What am I going to do?

I made my own ten commandments, which I must follow until the 4th sunday of may.
The basic idea, and at the same time the first commandment, is that I can not work longer than 3 weeks on a chosen project. The other nine commandments are there, to help me succeed this 210-days-experiment. They trigger my imagination, they change my body, they change my mind, they change my way of thinking.

I'll use this blog as a storageplace for everything that I have to make. In this way you can check whether I follow my commandments the way I should.

After the 4th sunday of may, I'll start to make one piece of art out of everything I made during the 210 previous days.

Wish me luck!
