Creating situations

Well, quite a zippy day, really, with news and rumors in from all directions (the past, the future and virtuality). First, about the photo above - some friends in Brooklyn, go to
HTTP://WWW.SHOPDROPPING.NET for the full info. Dig.
While we canvas for ideas to film over the summer term, over the summer, and/or for the rest of our lives. I confess I greatly enjoyed cutting the trailer for ALYCE yesterday, as it was a few hours just having to concentrate, having to hit exact frames and play. As Guy Debord might have said. Well, more about that one later. Much later.
Now this Art thing is all very well, and I did find myself getting carried away these last few days in lab (nice idea, small group tutorials) carried away about proxemics (where people stand) and camera movements and blocking (where people shouldn't stand or move) and generally the immense amount of beauty which floods into an image when you wait for it and just catch it, as opposed to all those uphill struiggles to pack a frame with deadness and symmetry. The frame is in time, not in an isolated 1/30th of a second freeze frame. So, beauty. Will beauty save us?
We have to create situations where beauty (real beauty, not a magazine photoshop arrangement) will come in unbeckoned.
Hmm, this is not just Filmmaking 101 anymore, is it?
Oh, and P.S. that Latin quote a few posts down, I was asked today, means: We turn circles in the night, and are consumed by fire.
That kind of beauty.
