things are materialising.

this project is huge, so it will take me all year.

scrap Director MX – i am designing this in Expression Blend. keep up the work. Nothing more to say about this, get to work.

THEBLACK ART OF WORLD BUILDING

creating a concept:‘Director can be dangerously seductive. With all that [graphic creating] power at your fingertips, it’s tempting just to sit down and “create”, taking offf without giving any thought to your ultimate creative destination’

have already sat around developing a brief with 2 other guys. I dont think we came up with anything that comes near the mind altering concept i had (ahem) in mind.

so scrap that, start from scratch (taking into consideration what i’ve so far read about director’s possibilities.) Bring on the pencils. let me sketch it out.

When you’re creating multimedia applications, that is essentially what you’re doing. As the author of a multimedia application, you’re temporarily suspending the user’s reality, taking the user through a defined space that you have created.<<

ok. this is the pep talk they give you when you open the macromedia director mx 2004 bible (874 pages) it sounds great and is a start (also, it’s not up to me, have no choice)...

‘yet despite all of Director’s power, it is like any other tool in that it works best in the hands of people who can use it to its advantage.’

i get paid for it, and not too bad, i might add. But instead of just doing it, and appreciating the opportunity, i busy myself with idle banter.

I don’t know where to retrieve my drive to commence this project. (became quite disillusioned with the “creative” media world, you know)

think i’m going to start a head/wall interface first
