About Creativity

 

 

 

"Creativity is the power to bring into existence an arrangement or combination or integration of natural elements that had not existed before ... to serve human purposes."  

    Ayn Rand 

 

   

   The independent approaches that iconic figures like Megyn Kelly and Glenn Greenwald are taking (independently funded podcasts, blogs, self-publications, etc) since being used and cancelled by our secondary murderous pandemic 'cancel culture' is fascinating. Water finds its own level. The irony about all of our new technology is that true journalism will persist and change its course just like a virus does, and as 'Group Think' keeps on foggin' up big tech terrain, their social sickness will keep having to reinvent new vaccines as we persevere. The fun is just beginning.  bye.

...in the documentary film MY BEST FIEND, Werner Herzog steps before the camera in a revelatory cinematic document, in which he focuses on his complicated relationship with his longtime friend and collaborator actor Klaus Kinski. In a lively retrospective of Kinski's life and work, Herzog explores their deep-seated fraternal bond while also confronting the bitter rivalry that raged on during their five film partnerships, during which each vied for dominance.

John Turturro and Spike Lee

                                                       

The Director's Cut · The Craft of the Director with Spike Lee (Ep. 266)

Did not expect this podcast interview to be this good. This chat between 

Turturro and Lee encompasses everything from the beginning 

stages of falling in love with moving picture cameras, to film school to a 

life's career in the industry. I remember Lee from my days working as a 

sound editor (Folly Work) at SOUND ONE STUDIOS and he was always a passionate 

handful. This interview really reveals just how reflective Turturro is as a 

person and what a good listener he is also. Cannot recommend this interview

enough...especially for indie and experimental filmmakers looking for 

inspiring words to meditate on. bye. 

RIP John Lennon

 

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

The BEARAXE Surprise.

Last night's fundraiser in Seattle was so-so, not spectacular but cool to see old heroes now older, wiser and still at it. The greatest moment from last night's performances was by Seattle newcomer singer Shaina Shepherd (BEARAXE)- she blew the show away. Like damn she's talented- Wow. 

                         

          go to:  1hr  27sec

The Museum of Seattle raised over $600,000 thus far from this online streaming benefit. Also, I gotta say that Ann Wilson (HEART) still 'has it' and was truly amazing in her vocal contribution, too. Her pipes ain't gone rusty at all, yet. I'm looking foward to the upcoming biopic about her band, HEART. bye.

Mama told me when I was young

"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day, ah yeah"

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And, be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied"

"And  be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this … bye.

Many styles that are now seen on the streets come from unexpected places. Not all designs, in fact, are born exclusively in ateliers and design studios; the biographies of many of the most iconic objects tell us something about the fascinating ways in which styles are created and also disseminated. ‘Flares’ trousers, for example, have become a symbol of 1960s-70s fashion, even if the story of their origins is quite different from the atmosphere of those years. Also called bell-bottom because of their shape, flares originated in the early 19th century, when some sailors serving in the US Navy started wearing these kind of trousers, since no uniform was set for them yet. The style was later adopted by the British Royal Navy, which adopted the flares as part of the official uniform around the mid-19th century. Actually, these “bell-bottoms” were often wide-legged trousers that could be rolled up easily and were therefore functional for sailors. The decades that saw the passage from the functional uniform of sailors to mainstream fashion were the 1960s and, above all, the 1970s. In the 1960s, they were usually worn with Cuban-heeled shoes, clogs, or Chelsea boots. In the 1970s, Sonny Bono and Cher made flares iconic by wearing them on air, during their television show. The pants flared from the knee down, and many variants were developed: ‘Loon pants’ were even more flared, usually worn by go-go dancers; another kind were the so-called ‘Elephant bells’, which were similar to loon pants but longer, covering the high-heeled shoes popular in the 1970s, and made of denim. Flares made their comeback in the second half of the 1990s with a new name: boot-cut, since the flare was not so wide. Now pants with very wide flares are back in fashion, enriched by ruffles and other embellishments; not only can they be found on the runways of famous fashion designers, drawing the audience back to the references that inspired the designs, but also in the collections of major high street brands: a sign of the popularity of this style at various levels of the producer and consumer chain. bye aka buy$$$.

                   Lobster Tails w/butter

Buttered lobsters can help us explain why human hierarchies exist. The hierarchies in our society, according to Dr. Jordan Peterson, are natural and reflected in nature: lobsters share a common evolutionary ancestor with humans, and similarly have a nervous system that involves serotonin – a chemical associated with feelings of happiness. Lobsters, and humans, are hardwired to organize themselves in a society with hierarchies because we get injections of serotonin when we adopt aggressive or dominant postures. Imagine that. bye.

No pain. No gain. No mercy.

Totally addicted to the ‘COBRA KAI’ series on NETFLIX. Greatest episodic re-boot of an absolute fav movie classic from my childhood- THE KARATE KID. Smart dialogue!, fun 80's music references and a heartfelt reminder to all of our forgotten & ageing movie stars that there is still hope, after the fall. bye.

Crank Em Up

Bolex Galores Early history: In 1927, Jacques Bogopolsky imagined a camera for the 16 mm format (Bolex Auto-Cine A,B,C), and created the Bolex society with the help of Charles Haccius, a businessman from Geneva. Charles Haccius invested 250,000 Swiss francs in the company. The society did not produce any cameras. However, the Auto Ciné A and B were produced by Longines in Saint-Imier and the projector by Stoppani in Bern. As of 1929, the company Longines no longer wished to produce the cameras. Bolex was bought by Paillard & Cie for 350,000 Swiss francs and Jacques Bogopolsky was hired as consulting engineer for five years. Soon Paillard realized that the cameras and projectors were not in fact the exceptional products promised by their partners and after two years Jacque Bogopolsky was no longer welcome in Sainte-Croix. The traditional version of the story tended to present the situation rather simply: Bolex is the name of a brand produced by the Paillard company, a brand represented mainly by a camera that was invented by Jacques Boolsky. In fact, the alleged inventor of the Bolex did not invent anything about the camera, which as early as 1935 would become known under this name. With the patents sold by Boolsky proving unusable and the machines defective, Paillard had to start from scratch to invent a Bolex which had only kept the name of Boolsky's "invention". The Bolex as we know it is the invention of the engineers at Paillard. In 1932, Marc Renaud, a young engineer, inspired by the products of Paillard and assisted by Professor Julliard, began development of the Paillard H16 camera. In 1935, the H-16 camera was put on the market, the 9.5mm version followed in 1936 and the Double-8mm version in 1938. The H-16 was highly successful. Paillard-Bolex introduced the L-8 for the market of pocket 8mm film cameras. With the postwar boom in home movie making, Paillard-Bolex continued to develop its 8mm and 16mm ranges with the H-16 increasingly adopted by professional film makers. The company also made a successful range of high-end movie projectors for all amateur film making gauges. bye.

Negative Stock 50D Kodak- Wa. State & The Basque Country

Just got back my 2K scanned footage that I shot in Seattle's deep forests with Bolex 16mm Negative stock. No matter how great these 4K digital cameras are these days, NOTHING compares to the color details captured with Negative film stock. Nothing. Can't wait to cut this material into the feature. 

 

next footage to prepare cutting will be Basque Country regions...
