I have just been doing my laundry and have time to kill. So here is what I'm going to do. Experiment with Collages fill up whole book in a quick time, then practice animating collages with all my recorded conversations as a soundtrack, have a musical soundtack made from Tom Waits 40 favourite noises, which is quite ambitions.

My Main Influence for my experimenting with collage is Osbert Parker, he is very original, his piece
"Film Noir" was nominated for awards and is very original mixing cut and paste techniques with live action animation.

I'm basically combing the techniques of Osbert Parker and Christian Marclay to create something new, my main final idea is so ambitous that im just practising with abstract collage. influenced by Robert Raushenburg or Kurt Shwitters.

But my main idea shall still be linked to conversation, I shall get my friends to dress up as icons such as david bowie, Bob Dylan, Prince, Elvis and photograph some party scenes in the sand bar, with pop stars playing the piano getting drunk, etc. Then with the photographs collage on top then layer and layer and layer to make a coherent working animation, like showing a piano on fire, bowie dueting with dylan, then as a soundtrack make it from interviews from all the stars over the top of each other so it sounds like a party, sounds coming from all over the place, so you here wierd aspects of conversations. That shall be an after christmas idea. But im progressing and practicing at the moment, and can change and develop the party idea, by doing story boards, but want it to be more spontanious than planned, but if it doesn't work then planning won't be a problem so as long as I do it in a way that doesn't drive me insane, then its all good.
