i'm about to get hopelessly lost - in flickr - which is annoyingly now on yahoo, i find that completely maddening.

i realize that this idea - links to this post -
i actualy don't know what that means.
what are links to a post?
i should know this -
i don't
i am not of the blogger generation -
okay - i'm going downstairs to find my copy of verdict and see if mamet wrote in the polaroid scene, because i'd be very very surprised if he did.

aha! see? the polaroid developing isn't in there - he just takes a snapshot, in this, otherwise the world's most perfect script.

the polaroid. danny is making a movie on this -
i myself am quite curious about eastman, who killed himself. (who was related to paul mccartney's wife, yes? or was that just a coincidence.)

glimmpse: clickable script

clickable script


int. window - day

she was staring out of the window. her name was emily.

of course, we know nothing about emily, except i think that actually was the name of the girl in my story.
there's this strange emptiness, though, to making things be clickable - somehow - it isn't that satisfying - i did find this one wonderful photograph, though - in fact, i'd rather upload it as a photograph -
who was it was telling me about uploading and image and having people comment on it - oh that bizarre site patrick was telling me about -
anyway



okay - but actually this is a great way to do a script - i should do my script this way -
although - it doesn't bring you back here necessarily

for example, let's say i know how i want to shoot this. all right, this has led to - discovering that american cinematographer doesn't recognize me, when i'm a subscriber- and doesn't see my email addresses- have i stopped getting it/ no, i still get it.

i wanted to show those scene outlines- what the hell do they call them?
diagrams. lighting diagrams.

Shimmering on the edge of darkness.

some 3-screen notes to add links to before reposting

1. http://www.you3b.com/watch/936
is a - 1 B - and a 2
uncut long takes
medium - completely unrelated - and wide
african dancing

what i'm really thinking is: three- the big long essay on that -
2. http://www.you3b.com/watch/730

the A1- [blue filter] and a2 ['natural] here are wide, slow-moving shots and then a fast cutting one in the far right [are they the same shots?]
this is how people innately organize their ideas - it's amazing



and lastly - the sound includes a low drone and then repetitions of the sounds creating the cutting.

"sunken city" is inherently much more interesting - three shots of the same thing - by Raphaele Shirley

i could in fact tie this to my own autobiography - which is that figgis came out with time code in 1999, and i had decided on four people in my Pretend story - Mom dad sophie ellie -- and because he was ONLY four, i couldn't do it --

and that forced me to think about three

and the walter murch essay on design
