Well, this was an "interesting" week. I was really unhappy with my initial plan for this shot (the stage swordplay). I felt that idea would be 1) too similar to the sword in the stone shot from last class, and 2) would involve lots of complicated movements that still wouldn't have the WOW physical action I want to try my hand at. Since the first class, I tend to gravitate towards more subtle actions, so I wanted to open it up with this class.
This idea came to me really really late in the process - so what you're looking at is what I was able to block out between 10pm and 5am (before heading in to work). I really like the idea and I'm anxious to get in some more time on it.
I like that this shot can be viewed as a metaphor for me in this class - struggling to find an "idea" (i.e. lightbulb goes on) that's just out of easy reach...
