Good ! I don't think you need to know what you are doing. The sculptural reference reminds me of that idea of the figure being inside the stone and you are engaged in a process of revealing or revelation even .. this is Michelangelos' way of saying he doesn't know what he is doing. Or rather he knows what he is doing but not the result.
I've not seen the process and I'm coming in late on this blog. With only two weeks to go I feel I've missed out on you explaining that you quite clearly don't know what you're doing. Please God, the second you do then stop it. Stop it! I am only a filmmaker and do not understand how "knowing what you are doing" can help in any way at all. If you know what it'll look like then don't bother. If you know that something will be fun - like jumping off a wall into jelly - then it certainly has it's merits... but in reality the real fun in jumping into jelly would be that you REALLY have no idea if it'll be fun or not. You might bounce off and break your foot, it might make all the wasps in the land come to head for a sting-fest (not the member of the Police). The amount of life-experience you have would probably tell you that it SHOULD be fun, but if you knew it was then you wouldn't bother. That's my point I think. Jumping into jelly should be fun because you've tested stuff like that out for ages in your head. You've collected experiences and put them into "successful" or "unsuccessful" sections for future reference. You are just profound enough to realise that you actually have no idea or not whether it'll be ok. But you think it probably should be. Give me a call if you have further questions. And I like the safety pin.
