Unorthodox Influences

[Ileia]

I never have, but I've been accused of it often:

2006-05-18 15:37:40 I'm delightfully creeped out. Whatever you were smoking, I want some!

2006-02-13 01:13:53 Whoa...so where are you hiding the mushrooms?

Usually, I get ideas from listening to music at work. I'll make random mix CDs to put in the player, and sometimes if I find a song that I think I'd like to use, I'll play it on repeat and imagine out the whole AMV. I did it today, I had the same song on for two hours. It annoyed the hell outta my boss.

Yeah, basicaly ^.^ I have a playlist I just play over and over and over. I bareley hear it any more, but by now it's like second nature and if I see anything I like *boom* I got my idea... but, well, than comes the hard part. But challengeing yourself to finish something is why I got into this hobby to begin with.

that and I add on songs every once in a while. And take off one or two. But not too often, until I do em.

I get most my ideas together when i'm bored and ideas just come to me. Sometimes when i'm stoned I get ideas ....like for my next project, 'lets go smoke some pot'. Can u tell i was high when i thought of it? >_<

Lots of caffeine and spicy food before passing out after 35+ hrs without sleep. I get overloaded with dreams about the strangest things, even if I only sleep for a few hours. That's the same way I get inspiration to write. When I don't get stories, I get visuals. Swirly clouds, tunnels, flashing lights, textured shadows, random rapid objects and wierd filters over otherwise ordinary scenes - the sort of stuff that makes for quirky and gaudy effects when translated into amvs. Dreams are my own little theater, just my imagination keeping my brain occupied so I don't wake up. The more wired I am, the more I want to wake up. But since I push myself until I really need sleep, the dreams become more detailed and rapid-fire to keep me under. It's the best source I've found for creativity that's my own.

Of course, my dreams are influenced by everything I encounter, so I'm probably still giving credit to movies, amvs, books, and daily interraction with interesting people. ^_^;

I'm glad someone actually read that, though I wonder how many people had no idea what I was talking about and decided to check.

the majority of my ideas come from one of two locations:

1) Sleep deprivation.

or

2) Late night walks. I've been going for walks at night quite a bit in the last year, and whenever i go i'll take my MD with me, and i'll either just be walking down the street, or i'll be sitting at a park bench somewhere and i'll get hit with an idea.

To be completely honest, my videos just came out of the song. Usually I would get a song I liked, an anime that fit the general theme or lyrics, I'd sit down and edit.

It just came out of the top of my head to put it simply, but there must have been some kind of inspiration, I just can't recall...

Taking a dump while listening to music.....
