Doing things, random thoughts.

It is very hard to do things. There are many dangers in that. The first danger is that one doesn´t realize the amount of work the smallest thing requires. And why that small thing is worth a lot because of that.

When one realizes this, one can appreciate and understand things much better, but the second danger is, that after realizing how hard things are, one gets overwhelmed and stops doing anything. The amount of thinking and working seems to be too much, in things like cinema or other projects, where the idea and work required may sometimes seem insane. This mustnt happen. If the script says "the boat must go over the mountains" then the boat goes over the mountains. It requires a lot of planning and physical power, but if that is something that stops people from doing something, why do anything? altough the reasons for doing this may seem totally worthless and insane. Physical and mental strenght is something to be used, not to be preserved somewhere for better times.

This is where the third danger comes. All this, the boat over the mountains, at the end it is just a vehicle for something else, it is not the soul purpose of the movie. People do that just to express some though or feel, cause thats the main thing. So after all that work, one realizes that it isn´t so great, it is not so important, if we can´t understand for example, what the lead character feels, or something like that.

It´s the same thing with running, I suppose. Why go running? And when running, if you stop when you feel tired, why did you start at the first place? Altough you didn´t go running just for the sake of runnin, maby you needed some exercise. That can be achieved in many ways, but you decided to run, so don´t stop until its absolutely necessary.

Great stuff, bro! Your style is insightful and unique (not to mention your use of English ;). I thought this would be just some temporary notebook for the project, but it seems this is serious.

This is more in response to the first post, but I'm really looking forward to the shootings. Despite the many unexpected difficulties, shattered nerves, failing healths, insane situations and damaged personal relationships that will result from the Work, I'm sure It'll be a great experience for everyone involved.

Take care & see you at the set.

Not very serious.. altough my english might be "unique" in all its aberrations, the production diary for TD-music videos started this form of doing production diaries. But this seems now very stupid when I communicate in english with you and knowing that everyone reading this blog is finnish..so.. Tämä antaa kuitenkin hyvän etäisyyden tekstiin ja tuntuu vähemmän tyhmältä kirjottaa asioista koska suomenkielellä jos kirjoittaisin olisin hankaluuksissa kieliasun kanssa kovasti.
Kommentoida saa kuitenkin suomeksi ja englanniksi, ehkä myös saksaksi jos haluaa.
