If you were in a paradox and divided by zero, what would happen?
As this is pondered in the tea pots on our brain burners, let the bloggification begin for 2011!!
Abstraction is a very human term and difficult to define as a result, since defining something I can't understand or flesh out is something that seems oxymoronic (-ronical?). Still, it is this enigma that I love to use in my films and other works and should probably define now, for myself and for anyone else with spare time and curiosity.
In all seriousness, the way I would define Abstraction is the logic of painting the scene around an object if you couldn't paint the object itself. Combine this logic with the sense of gestalt of showing parts and stepping back to see the whole picture and you get a sense of what I am talking about. I also like to incorporate a certain ... uncomfortable sense into work. Much more aware of their own world simultaneously.
Ultimately, I want them to be ENTERTAINING! Nothing "artistic" in it other than the quality of the image or the story being interesting. Other than that, I want to have no philosophical justifications (which surrealistically speaking have no truth anyway) that make any prefaces too long.
The previous text bunch actually contradicts the most recent statement but you get the idea. I want to make films abstract, fun, and self-contained. You laugh, you cry, you move on. Simplicity is key.
