In an attempt to reach some sort of epiphany I locked myself away in the dungeons of RMIT’s editing labs to think of ideas for this course. I was there for a few hours blasting music (awesome speakers for it) drawing and messing around with some ideas that i had. In class a week or so before we were made ot write down locations we liked and people that we thought were interesting. This got me rally thinking about what i wanted to make. Bellow is a franticly written passage I wrote on my phone as i was making my way from Uni back home. If its any context to what I was listening to it was this.

Anyway heres what i wrote so I wouldn’t forget.

Trying to thrust myself into a creative mood
Went to the labs underneath building 9 and blasted music drawing whatever came to mind
Through doing this I wanted to unlock certain ideas and from this develop something into what I could do for this studio
Listening to enigmas flowing albums which morph from one song to the next means a certain train of thought can be passed on slowly through out an hour.
There are no hard cuts or interruptions I found myself drawing rounded line faces, black pen, which morphed into more abstract images of lines
Getting out of the labs, taking in the outside stimulus I had odd feeling of the people who surrounded me everyone was off on their on ways back from work or university.
It was 5:30 and the temperature was 27 and humid.
Listening to dawn of midi feels like the world is ending and everyone is oblivious to this.
Its so weird being deprived of stimulus in the black studio room flooded with heat and sun.
Then to listen to music again cutting out the environments sound
How would I capture this in video
Everyone in their own bubbles
How can I make a mosaic of things which forces the audience to freeze?
The music’s hollowness
The themes: Do I want to make something like a continuing music video

So after this time in the labs I was really hoping for some kind of epiphany but if anything it made me more conflicted than ever. I wanted to made a Music video that uses lighting to give off weird effects, with maybe the theme of ‘the world ending’ or something. Its a bit ridiculous that last part.  I want to make something which is Enigma-esque that kind of flows. If im going to do a music video though ill have to get onto finding music to use then
