What are you dealing with?

What is happening? I try to make a short report about the Invasion movie; texting with E71.

Is this about fact or fiction? We don't know. How could I know? The story covers ideas from fantasy land, the real thing doesn't have a central role. The movie is crazy.

It's getting dark. Keep on walking. Make split second decisions about who is against and who is in favor.
Being there in thirty minutes. It's unbelievable. We need a video camera. Get one from the news room. The events must be recorded.

You're very emotional. Don't show your feelings. Move away, open the damned door. There is no reason for you to fight against the realities. It's too late. Change and transformation did already start.

What are the forces we are fighting against? Are they already here? When did they cross the border? Continue the search, there migt still be a rational explanation.

Making of a movie

Writing the script. Thinking about the commercial aspects. The producer calling every day about the bottom line. They were talking about the Asphalt Jungle, I try to create my own movie script.

Arthur Miller was concerned about the middle class mentality of America. My idea is to make short form micromovies. I could take the same approach. We have our own middle class constructions as well.

Arthur Miller thought there was intelligent and capable people, they needed high-quality movies. We need the same.

The project was not turning out as a Wester and some of the movie stars didn't understand the meaning - even though many loved Arthur's intelligent texts.

Some wanted to find their place in the world. They drank too much.There were personal problems. Making a long movie is a demanding project. I plan a one man show. There's always tension in a big production.

For me, the only tension is to transform ideas to real micromovie clips. I'll write progress reports, be patient.

Digital revolution

I was looking at a French black and white movie from the fifties. Life was very different at that time.

• Less cars
  
• People used to smoke a lot
  
• Paris was like a small town
  
• Bars were meeting places
  
• Teenagers looking for goal in life
  
• Newspapers had an important role
  
• Alienation and drifting
  
• Product placement of coke and cars
  
• Very little outdoor signage
  
• Posters decorated bars
  
• You could dance in a bar

What would be the creative answer to the French new wave movies created with smart phones?

I try to find answers to this questions this year and move to digital movie cameras and better editing tools year 2010.
