I walked through the Martin Creak Canyon trail again; the last two days I walked the trail and drew some inspiration for “The Doorway.” This time I took pictures of the trail, trees, and etc., for further consideration for integrating nature into the movie. Just getting outside, away from the digits of technology and tasks is invigorating. ¶ This draws my attention towards taking the concept of the material world even further, to the point where technology is everything around him. He’s checking his calls, sending text messages, and checking his emails. Maybe I don’t have to make it obvious, I can just have him typing on his phone. ¶ Another vision I had on the walk, perhaps he is walking halls when he is trying to find this new self, or maybe, even better, he is simply in the room, maybe we only focus on the stagnant stillness found under the artificial florescent lights. This makes me want to work even more with a strong green, almost florescent tent. Perhaps I will work with several different tents, one for the dream, and another for the real world. ¶ As a side note, it may be a good idea to limit my self to the number of pictures I take on each outing. I want to: walk not looking, but to see as I walk, i.e., I don’t want to feel on edge to find something, and I want the feelings I’m experiencing to influence or find the environment around me. I want to find abstract solutions in nature. I’ve attached one photo from my walk to this post; there is another I really want to play with in Photoshop, but that might be at a later date.
