Cryptozoology

i see the role of the designer in my work, and this is the area i am beginning to feel is lacking. I sit down to make more little expirimental films, and all i can come up with is little snippets. parts, elements, the way these elements relate to the whole is its design. but it feels like i havn't been able to make a whole in a long while. I can create anything I want, given enough time and the right materials, so what do i want? I feel like I don't yet really know so i concentrate on little waves, on the parts. what it is the thing i want to make? a world? yes, a world. What is a world? The collection of feelings associations. A world is an all encompasing collection of rules and feelings. imagine everything. yes. What am I trying to say? What am I doing?I shall have to narrow it down, simplify. one thing at a time. by creating a collection of things, feelings, messeges, glimpses into annother life. through the parts we can see the whole, so I begin with the parts...
