The Pipeline #22: Adam Lisagor | 5by5
Dan’s spanking new interview with Adam is a pure gem. Listen to it (mp3).
… And, as much as it certainly doesn’t evince itself in my own work on anywhere near the level that it does in his own, I’m grateful any strand of Adam’s hirsute genius has ended up sticking to my sweater.

Audio-only Q&A for this talk
I got up in front of people again last week.
The fine folks of the Independent Filmmaker’s Coalition of Kansas City were kind enough to want to hear what I have to say about creativity and how it might matter to them. Since, you know, filmmakers are heavily dependent on their creativity.
This was a...

I call shens: I'm great at pretending. →
The older I become the more I realise that I never actually know what I’m doing, I’ve just become exceptionally talented at pretending to know what I’m doing.
Yeah, but really isn’t that what it’s all about? At least knowing you don’t know what you’re trying to do is a step towards knowing what you’re doing and where you’re heading.
If all else fails,...

I find your lack of faith disturbing
Damn. This post is long. It’s very in tune with “the industry” (what is a procedural anyway?), but wow is this a great read. Click now. Thank me later. (via tbmimsthethird)

On May 12, this happened.
Here’s my debut in the “Video Projects That The Favstar Set Are Into” world. I think it’s a solid first effort. Well, solid except for getting the transcription of the tweet wrong. But, look! I take my glasses off!
Sweet tea vodka and orange juice. Is that a thing?
It is now, and I call it an Alabama Ignition Key.
Think about it a sec, purty mouth.
Spoken Wordelec. Now Open.

So this happened. Or rather is happening. Over here. (Reblog if you’d like. I don’t have a rampant follower base.)
This is a place dedicated to the bard formerly known as the Western Electric, currently representing the Wesleyan Electrician’s Guild, and possibly known as the Westinghouse Election Rigger should they actually catch him before the statute of...

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought that doing this with a myriad of people would be an awesome idea. I was just proved right.

Talkin' With Merlin: The Deleted Scenes.
The Skype conversation about creative failure that I had with Merlin Mann clocked in at over an hour long.
As you can imagine, there was a lot of fantastic information that didn’t make the final cut due to time/relevance to topic/etc. So, just as I did with my Adam Lisagor interview, I’ve uploaded my favorite couple of killed bits as deleted scenes.
In this first cut, Merlin and I...

WatchWords of Wisdom: My Motivational Fever Dream on Vimeo
“I hope you keep doing what you do. It matters to a lot of people.” — Rob de la Cretaz/fever dream (amalgamation)
I was hit by a summer bug over the weekend. Mostly it was that run-of-the-mill ickiness that comes with a cold, but I also got a lot of crazy, vivid dreams that one normally gets with a high fever.
