Roderick was excited by the video! This is interesting progress with me, as although I haven’t wrested complete control over my creative practice, I can now look at something I’ve made and tell if it has that mysterious magic. I’ll call it flooby magic.
At a talk today, I felt that familiar feeling of being overwhelmed. The feeling of having a lot of thoughts, presented with people so much further along their journeys than you or talking about a thousand things you hadn’t thought of. And you’re inspired, but it’s all too much. This feeling has a very particular feeling and I’ve decided to call it “Flooby”. If I name it, I will be less upset by it.
So, similarly, I think this inarticulable sense where I see that I’ve done something very good, but I’m not sure exactly how, why or how to push it further, we can call flooby magic. These things come.
Notes from today, then:
More visual gags. See how the objects can interact, be more relevant, bounce off each other.
I want to do a writing session where I literally just list ideas. I write brainstorming better than I draw it. I’ll take these back to Roderick on Tuesday. Hopefully, while writing, something else flooby happens and I make something else cool. But the nature of floob is such that I cannot predict.
