Hindsight

I’ve had time off work since last Tuesday. Our project has more or less wrapped up and I’ve been granted seven days to not be at work, which is a privilege.

The last few months, as previously mentioned, haven’t amounted to much outside of work. I was working some nights until the following 3am morning. It wasn’t new to get those kinds of hours worked in during crunch time – I think I’ve just gotten tired of it and that’s why things are going to change.

Milestones. My project Statement of Agreement was selected for exhibition at the Jutro Filmu (Future of Film) 2005 festival in Warsaw, Poland. This was an extremely pleasant surprise.

I spent my first day or two of my break redesigning the Hindsight Project. This doesn’t signify any new videos, unfortunately (I just started on my days off). But it was something I’d been meaning to get to for quite some time. Its completion also signalled the need to create once again….

I finished my first solid draft of a videoscript. It’s refreshing to be writing again, and even more so when the right [musical] inspiration comes along to ignite it. Of three videos I’ve mapped out, two will be themed about Japan. Yes, I am going to Japan for the entire month of May. Very, very excited about this. But also very scared about the unknown that awaits when I return.

For no reason, here is a picture of a PlayStation2 labeled George Foreman grill that was at my friend’s house.
