week 10. slowed forward movement.

I started to work on the branding and kept running into this issue of what is the best way to describe it? I went back to looking at quotes, phrases, poems, lyrics, anything that dealt with text that I had tweeted and tried to pull inspiration from that. I then went back to my last list of name options and tried to pull different options.

the tweeted information.
Subconscious, mind, memories, ride, circle, cycle, line, pursing you, subjectivity, brain waters, tap in, play off “hooked on phonics,” “dive down deep, past breath + sight, into sense + texture,” stationary scamper, False Awakening, arbitrary, perception, "In memory my thoughts take actions and my mind takes the backseat," re-unitement, hole in plaid, displacement, appears, backhanded, transcendence, thinking, grawlix, dense, “There’s more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than can ever be done. –The Lion King,” lucid interval, human history, “If we put a giant mirror 10 light years away from Earth and looked at it through a telescope, theoretically we'd see 20 years into the past.” “I want to add something to this world. –Remy (Ratatouille),” vivid nightmares, sleep only kills the dream, lack a filter, displacement, rebooted mind, "sometimes you fail + sometimes you don't—but you're always where you need to be," aesthetics, one little conversation can change things forever, “I relived important life moments through a collection of images, dreamt more vividly than I have in a while.”

post. create. express.

I've been trying to figure what the display/organization of memories would look like rendered online. I can't create what I am seeing in my mind yet, but this is some bad format of it. But the idea of the videos/stories being in this larger circle square shape. I was also trying to think about how memories would transition into one another. Is it a fade out, slow overlap or something else? Do the memories go both to the left and right? Are they stacked up? Are they gridded out? Or? Are the brightest memories in front? Is there order? I need to keep pushing and trying to think how memories would best be displayed.

what is next?I need to name it all this weekend. I really think the the logo will become part of the icons that will be used for the three parts of memory/story creation on the website. I need to put together some more solid visuals of the interface. I should probably be thinking about the main page when logged in. How do those memories look? Whose can you see? Figure out the way that you will be distorting the memories in small but noticeable changes. I should start thinking about the story of the video that will describe this. I need to finish that video clip thing, the free form expression. I need to do a bunch.random thoughts.
I keep thinking of Kingdom Hospital, the TV series and I am not totally sure why.

week 10. imagine it. see it take 01.

you’re walking around in a seeming to be endless space. it’s dark here. there is no set format, doorways appear randomly and sometimes disappear after an instant.

there's just a silent hum and once in a while you hear a few breaths, sometimes a heartbeat. there’s something beautiful in how simple everything is.

it’s pretty dark you realize as you walk further—so dark that you’ve been wondering how you’re moving through this space…do you even know where you’re going? you brush that thought aside and continue to walk freely through the room, but not down the center, you stick to the walls.

you reach a door that’s wide open. you walk in. a dim light bulb hangs down from the ceiling. the walls are black. there's a large projector screen flat against the wall, but nothing is playing. you hear a noise outside of the room and move to investigate.

it looks just the same as before. darkness. you hear the noise again and see a closed door, this one has light coming under the door. you move towards it. then you notice another door. its door is open and a ridiculous amount of florescent lights are on in the room. you walk into the bright room.

you feel like you may become blinded by the amount of light here and hear the sound. you squint your eyes and notice these walls are black and has a projector screen too—a video plays on loop on this one. you hear the sound again. like clockwork, every 10 seconds—but then not so much. it keeps changing.

you look at the screen. sights—sights from a car in black and white. it looks familiar. you move forward. just then you start hearing someone mumbling loudly. you remember where the sights are from and you look back towards the screen. it’s now vividly colored. you involuntarily shake. it reminds you a lot of the day you got into that car wreck, almost the actual day—that was the road you were on, you drive it everyday. those birds weren’t there though and the grass wasn’t super green.

it looks JUST like the day that you got into that accident. the sound goes up on the video. you hear your car tires connecting to the road and your keys hitting the steering wheel. you hear laughter right behind you. you turn around.

these are the first test videos below.
