I have been experimenting with the Mirroring filter in final cut for a while now and have just recently had a breakthrough. Often in life we are advised to not over do it. Forget what you have learned. In this new series of Mirroring tests, I apply the mirror function over and over, creating unique shapes and color outlines. It goes beyond the colidascope effect that is so often associated with mirroring. The potential for a new aesthetic is inspiring. Symbols seem to emerge and burn their intention in the viewers psyche. The original footage though it is not recognizable, transfers its mood and stylistic intent as the image drifts in and out of form.

There is much more to come.

Cheers to a renewal of the creative inspiration.

The Sounds of Stone!

Question is do you find a stick like that? Or does it find you?
This creative little route has unlocked the energy potential of this place, or at least my realization / perception of it. The Vermont studio center in Johnson, is situated on a major energy resource.

The water churns, the river swells and the community in its presence bustle with creativity. It is a nice mirroring of human and nature’s creative potential. The studios that look out over the river draw from its energy and replenish the creative impulse. There is a peaceful harmony with the river.
So, Panman has found his rhythm.
I have reached a pivotal moment in the film making process… The sounds of silence and cold stone fill a large Hay barn. A steady clack, clack, clack begins to activate the stones conscious awareness…

The sounds of stone! What do they tell you as you tap away so diligently? Feeling every emotion, every attachment, every resisting force and resonating the intention with every tap.
