Motion
I think I have done enough thinking about code for the last few days. Time to do some animation and video editing.
A friend is doing a DJ night in London in early December and I am going to help him put together some visuals. It is a Japanese music night called "Gogo Mini Mini Yeye".
I am doing some experimenting with motion graphics using Quartz Composer.
Some thoughts about movies and stuff
I am taking some time out at the moment. 2010 is almost over and looking back, I have been incredibly busy at times. I am doing some reading and coding at a leisurely pace. Just recently, I took a transatlantic flight a few days ago and I watched a few movies.
It was quite interesting to me to see how some plot elements were common to the 3 films I saw. I watched "The A-Team", "Robin Hood" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
The first two films followed very similar plots - there is the introduction of the heroes. The heroes are outside the "law" and are in a few predicaments and ultimately they save the day to clear their names, and achieve a positive outcome so to speak but are betrayed by the "powers". The films are the origin stories leading to adventures that follow.
With "Robin Hood" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo". The lead male characters have flashbacks to childhood memories. As the memories are explained, they are significant as plot devices leading into what follows; interesting coincidence.
