A remix by lestaunord and Project Number One
We are very excited that writer / poet lestaunord from Normandy created a remix of our intro video for Project Number One. Brian took the opportunity to do a quick edit to create a video using her sound poem and her lyrics - loving the direction this project is going! lestaunord says “It’s like an artistic dialogue between the three of us.”
PERSPECTIVE
Our friend Léonore did the french translation of this text and when she did so her words inspired me to make changes to the English version. She was so correct when she expressed that there is a never ending oscillation between writing and translating. What a fun collaboration!
We Discuss
C: We're collaborating on some poetry that you've written and combining that with some visuals that we’re creating together, and we've posted the first one and it's called Trust. What can you say about this?
B: A lot of the poems I've written are kind of a dialogue with my inner voice. Many were written at a time when I was going through a difficult time in my life, trying to make sense of what was going on.
C: So this poem, Trust, what can you say about it?
B: "You catch me when I land on the moment your heart kicks in." I guess what it is, is self-compassion. Giving yourself a break and not being so hard on yourself, knowing that, you have heart and that there's something in you that will always look out for you.
C: That's a thing that's happened in your life...
B: Yeah, there were times during the dark times of losing both parents in a short time period, going through a divorce, breakdowns, loss of employment etc., I kind of hit a bit of a low in my life. And when I would remember to go easy on myself it helped me keep going.
C: That's good wisdom for all of us.
B: It came from the fact that I had supportive people around me that were helping and caring for me at that time. Having that support allowed me to be able to reflect and actually practice self-compassion.
C: You discovered the power of a good support system.
B: Yeah. And in the end I think you got to look out for yourself in a lot of ways but without the help of others that can be a lot more difficult.
C: What would you like people to know if they're going through hard times?
B: I think to understand that you're always hardest on yourself and to know that there's often someone out there that's willing to help you get back on track. Sometimes we need that extra bit of help to get there.
Two Words / Two “+” Perspectives
For our weekly word challenge, We received this poem from lestaunord for the word combo : Gnarled Ambition
Two Words / Two Perspectives
Today’s randomly generated two word combo to illustrate: Colourful Decoder
Colourful Decoder: Corinne
I struggled over how I could illustrate these words with a photo but again, inspiration came in a flash - what is the most basic decoder of all? plus, Brian has the nicest eyes...
Colourful Decoder:Brian
A lot of repetitive tasks. It slowly and methodically built itself. The process was relaxing however. I focussed more on the colour than the code.
Two Words / Two Perspectives
For our first project - we are using a random word generator to create two word phrases for inspiration. We each produce an image based on that phrase in whatever format we prefer. This will be an ongoing project.
Our first word combo is: Formalized Pebble
Formalized Pebble(s) - Corinne.
Took advantage of my BC pebble collection... I have a confession... my inspiration comes at the oddest moment... I was heading to the loo when I realized that the top of the tank would be a nice surface to photograph on... and as a little inside joke: what could be more formal than being photographed on the throne?...
Formalized Pebble - Brian
For some time, I've been wanting to learn Adobe Illustrator - for this project I will mostly produce the images digitally...First post and my cheesy side has already surfaced.
