I’d definitely say it that way.
I name a lot of surreal romance, dreamy line between comedy and nightmare where metaphors and such are taken too literally.
I took this video thinking I could recreate it in a film with a purpose. Here it was just cool looking on the wall while I was working bartending.
But a moment for belated memory and creative inspiration.
Perfect for the "texture" theme a couple weeks ago.

I like how you think about texture in that way.
I was a barman for a fair few years whilst setting up my art gallery. Wouldn’t change the experiences for anything else. So much fun.
Very very fun
How is it not texture?
Rather then the actual couple. Their silhouettes on the craggy concrete wall only broken up with DJ lighting?
So texture. No substance. Barely form.
Would you play about with the music. Like play your own track over it.
Or do you prefer the randomness that happened during that moment.
This is just a reference for later. Spur of the moment capture so you don't forget kind of thing.
When I turn it into a film it'll have it's own music and it's own context🤷🏽
I’m like this with lots of art related ideas. It I don’t record it somehow it’s gone.
I'm very visual🤷🏽
I take a lot of pictures of my own or screenshot stuff from the web as ideas and mood boards for projects later. I also steal a lot from my dreams. I think that's why I get paid for music videos so much because I have very vivid weird dreams and often I'll just take a weird dream I had and give it up that way. People are like ooh freaky fun!
But for my more serious projects. Like I make narrative surreal films not just music videos. For those I try to take these images I have in my head, it small scenes, and I just stick em in different places and try to write the stuff in-between one and the other. Make em connect somehow.
I'm working on this big idea about starcrossed lovers, a man and v someone who may be real or may be a different of his imagination. So far it's like 10 dreams I've had plus I'm straight up mixing the story of the major arcana in the tarot, Jung's interpretation of shadow work as alchemy turning excrement into gold, and a big big twist ending I've had the idea for for a long time after watching this Iranian film called the Mirror 🤷🏽
I’m going to need to watch this movie.
It's been living in my head for a long time.
I need to get it on paper first.
But it's hard when you're the only one putting deadlines on yourself🤷🏽
When I'm doing a music video and they're like ok I need the idea by Friday. I'm like oh shit and I get that shit done.
But when I'm my boss. I'm over here working on it. Then on my website. Then I'm chatting with y'all.
Thank you. Interest in my work fuels me.
