That's gonna be another long post and it's not gonna make any sense :). In his latest post, Russell Davies said, and i quote: "I find this is often the way ideas come. (Good or not). You misunderstand something in the real world (I often get ideas from mishearing words), your brain instantly extrapolate something from that misunderstanding and, in doing that, creates a new idea. So hurrah for vagueness."
And having this in mind, i came across a little phrase on Chris Harding's site as the description of the "Robot Family" project: "It's about a society of unthinking robots, and nothing more. If you read anything else into it, then you are probably some kind of philosophy major, or socially aware or something.". "Robot Family" is a television series idea currently under development by Goldhouse, a small creative partnership dedicated to the development of animated television programs and shorts. Goldhouse means Chris Harding, Chad Strawderman and Jeff Barfoot, and they each have great websites, with lots of shorts and animations and games and all that.
And i kept on watching and thinking and remembering the days before i entered advertising. Back then, i was only surrounded by people who took philosophy too seriously, thus losing the capacity to stay open to all the daily silly things which can turn into such wonderful ideas. And i often get ideas from misunderstanding or mishearing something, as well as from getting in touch with other people who misunderstand or mishear things. Distortions often are the root of imagination, of the mind flying away, which is great. It's why cartoons usually inspire me more; cause they allow you to think possibilities to such a large extent. Then, i get more ideas from listening to kids playing in the park and so on...they don't have the same image of the world that grown-ups have, and yet, their minds work beautifully, making all sorts of weird connections. And i guess the only thing to be done is to stay open and express yourself openly.
Willy Wonka:[Spoken]
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
[Sung]Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it
There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it
There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be
