William Blake on Photofilms.

I could have chosen one of many, many William Blake quotes. I was going to put one up about infinity or somesuch, but the one below resonated due to the fact Ben and I have spent most of the last week training in Kenya. I’m always banging on about playing to our students; playing with ideas, stories, kit, software, production. Just play, please. Don’t be cowed by the myriad of options that seem to present themselves when starting out, or by those who seem to do it better. Keep things simple, focus on the story, and jump in. As William himself said ( and I’m sure he was talking about Photofilms 🙂 ) :

“The true method of knowledge is experiment.”

Next week, a quote from Aristotle on the best codecs to use when exporting from Final Cut.
