another idea, involving the rising sun

the rising sun, the rising sun...

how about a story about how the sun was created, or maybe how it appears every morning.

i was thinking that a small campfire, placed strategically on a high horizon and shot from a low angle, could have the sun rise exactly behind it, like the sun is emerging right from the source of the fire. in a video, possibly on high speed, you would see the sky gradually fade out of black to red with the construction of the fire, and get much brighter as the fire gets brighter, eventually having the sun rise out of it.

are all these ideas flakey?
this is likely a good one if we somehow turn it into more of a narrated video..

eeew....
this is way overdramatic, but i can't spend all night doing this up..

i wanted men and women being created from different places - one sex from above, and one from below. maybe they need to be different colours. i want to do a straight shot background, and insert the pics of people after - take pictures of one sex flying in by shooting people bouncing on a trampoline for the shots. i cheeze-ly thought that maybe they become the proper colour in the middle - maybe they embrace, or maybe they simply line up and hold hands.. i dunno..

nature myths!

ok -

this stupid da vinci thing is messin with our myth ideas. i want to avoid any goddess references, for sure.


that being said, i am looking into myths that are nature-based. people in nature. streams and fish and water and maybe some nighttime stuff - i have ideas but not the skill to do it. damn, i need a video camera or something.

i've always been a star guy.
ok - in writing this down, i've narrowed things down to rivers, stars, and rain. i would love to have images with lots and lots of people in them, and then blow the images up really big and mount them in lightboxes.

.we could do some pretty awesome storytelling with this stuff too, eh? mr videoman - i need your input

rough ROUGH idea

this is the beginning of an idea
this would be printed(i mena, an image LIKE this, that we'd do instead of stealing it.), plus someting at the top - either another picture of the "myth" for what causes rain, or a drawing of the myth.

myths and rellics and nature-goddess-idols

i was listening to CBC radio this afternoon while in the car, and there was a woman on it talking about myths in books and how she researched that sort of thing. she said that many books could easily be understood in relation to the stories and myths and beliefs. She also said that some books - she specifically said that the origin of most of the myths that are evident in "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" are untraceable - where they come from is as much a mystery as anything else in those novels..
Which sort of re-peaked my interest in invent new myths. I'm gonna medidate on this for a while. I am also gonna mention our investigation to some budding art-types (are you encountering as many people who are closet artists, sometimes quite talented or well-versed, as i am?) if it is alright with you - "the more people to steal ideas from, the merrier", i believe Carl said. well, he didn't say it, just implied it. And i think it is a positive thing; not really stealing, just feeding off an energy - like going to NYC and living in the art community - it isn't steaing, just feeding off the vibe.
