G<\/span>oing off in thirty different directions as if playing all the players of a game for lack of friends.  Looking to the board to see the paths, they often run in parallel flight separated but by a hedge too high as in a maze.<\/p>\n

In working with Alice<\/em>, it dawned on me that part of its fascination is the movement, the ability for motion, not just in characters but in viewpoint expressed by camera angle.  This reaches out a tentacle to other projects, such as The Paths<\/em> or Recycling<\/em>, both of which I’ve pretty much abandoned for the time.  Recycling<\/em> is, I think, a decent bit of prose and while I was proud of adding, drawing, taking pictures for the graphics and overcoming my timidity to speak into a mic, the audio, it’s nothing I’m particularly proud of as a piece of work beyond the accomplishment; the learning of the way to make a static text come alive through software.<\/p>\n

Now something’s just occurred to me: to learn Adobe Premiere<\/em> by reworking Recycling<\/em> may be a good idea, but if I want to really make the piece sing, I must admit I "settled" for rather static objects and images and merely played with Photoshop<\/em> and Illustrator <\/em>for effects (while learning that software too, of course).  The images I made up just match the words, but not the story.  Is Jesus Christ supposed to be there or be a metaphor?  Is Earth a place, or Mars?  The only one I think I came real close to, using imagery to match the meaning is the final tunnel turned birth canal and even that’s not quite right.  The poem is about a desire, a conflict and a release.  None of these images truly display that; Earth as Earth impedes, I’m thinking now, rather than follows the flow.<\/p>\n

So even as I learn to work with motion, I see its value in other creative areas.  This is something extra Alice<\/em> teaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
