May 10th Update on GS Projects

It’s been a fairly productive few weeks, both socially and with the art projects.  Here are some highlights:

• Most of my focus has been on tearing through a body of literature on cultural codes.  This has primary application to my work in advertising, but has yielded a whole new way of seeing interiority and has started to influence the GS projects.  More on this soon.
• @DestroySuperMe is up to 31 tweets with several more chambered.  I’m going to loosen the leash a bit on my “don’t make it sound pretty” restrictions.
• The Faulkner Project has taken a cool turn.  I’ve realized that the Faulkner excerpt alone won’t get the job done, so I’ve added three sections to make a true short film out of it.  There are index cards all over my apartment with shots, notes, themes, and sound ideas.  Done so far:
• The audio storyboard is done.  I know what the sound will be for the whole piece, both in music and voiceover.
• The visual style is set.  It hearkens back to the first film project I ever did.
• I’ve got a bank of ideas for visuals.
• Still to be done:  4 weeks worth of matching visuals to audio, then some shooting, then a month of editing.
• Letters I Wish I’d Have Received will pick up again soon once I edit the letters that are already written.
• The Secret Blog is on the “low” setting right now, largely due to my health restrictions.
