i'm working on a video piece for an opera that's to be performed next week in new york city. i'm cutting it close but i've got confidence it will come together! i've been staying up late working on it and find myself driving home when no one else is on the road, a pleasant experience. the piece plays in extreme slow motion—1/50 normal speed. if i had to give advice now i'd say: don't try this at home. specifically, with the work i'm producing, i've found no way to get the slow motion effect i'm looking for. so, i've begun writing a piece of slow motion software myself. whenever i start something like this i begin with foolish confidence that i'll tackle the problem in just a few hours. now sitting with some code that i've been working on for over a day, i'm humbled, as usual. but, i don't mind running into technical problems, they engage me and get me into the project and i find that technical thoughts inspire creative ones.
