I've been watching a lot of Game of Thrones episodes and that is thanks to Katherine who has also been watching it. I had been on episode seven for over a month because I wasn't motivated enough to watch it, but now Katherine and I are at the same place in the show, so the next day we can yell about how much of a dick Joffrey is and how awesome dragons are. This motivation that I get from Katherine can be more than just in a tv show, she had become a huge part of my artistic community and I enjoy talking to her about my own artistic endeavors. And she talks to me so I would imagine that she views me in a similar way.

My Day with Kat
I worked on editing a movie with Katherine. Last week we had decided to film everything that we saw while with Matt. Most of it didn't make any sense but the idea is that we have an hour of footage to make something out of. There are actually a lot of good idea within what we shot. We have beginnings and endings to probably a dozen movies that could be made, and I think that what I want to do next is continue with an idea that we had within the hour. We have these wonderful shots of me and Matt bouncing a ball with each other and we talked about things. I like that idea a lot, two guys casually talking as they bounce a ball between each other. I want to re-film that, more cleanly but still being loose like we had originally done it. There are some great little pieces of dialog without the hour but if we tried to recreate that then it wouldn't have the natural feel that it had the first time. The issue with the first time was mainly that it was unclean and very rough. It we could get the same footage, but with more attention to quality, then we would have a great project. There was an hour of footage, and Katherine and I didn't watch it all, but I think that just having the footage is an amazing pool to get ideas from and keeping that with me can be extremely useful for me in my life.

I think it is wonderful that you and Katherine have each other as creative foils and playmates. There is something so wonderful about having this sort of relationship with someone. They become your best friend in a different way, and the arts are full of such pairings - David Bowie and Iggy Pop, Lennon and McCartney, Picasso and Braque, Picasso and Matisse, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. My main artistic buddy is Cathyrn Mezzo. We bounce ideas off each other all the time. We have a weirdly inspirational text message conversation that has been going on in some form or another for the past two years!
ReplyDeleteI think the world of Kat, by the way. She is starting to grow into her talent, and she has a really good brain in there as well as a great work ethic. I think the world of you, too!
