سفر X-Files

موسم الصيف و الناس مسافرة و الصراحة في شغلات يعني جد بلاقي فش إلها تفسير !! ـ


ـ عند إقلاع الطائرة و هبوطها ليش لازم تضل الشبابيك مفتوحة؟


ـ ليش قبل ما تهبط الطائرة لازم يلموا الحرامات و السماعات زي اللي خايفين نسرقهم؟ و إذا خايفين نسرقهم ليش بلموش المخدات طيب؟ و إذا لأ ليش بستنوش لحد ما ينزلوا الناس من الطائرة و يلموهم؟ طيب مش أحسن يخلوا الناس ملتهيين بالتلفزيون و الإذاعة لحد ما تهبط الطائرة؟

ـ ليش أول ما تلمس عجلات الطائرة أرض المطار لازم الركاب يقيموا الحزامات زي كأنه الهم على قلبهم؟ مع إنه الطائرة لسة في مرحلة هبوط ؟


ـ أخيرا و ليس آخرا النقطة اللي ما إلها تفسير أبدا تقول إكس فيلز! لما يصير وقت إستلام الأمتعة و تطلع الشنط و تصير تمر على السير الجلدي المتحرك و بكون فيه 100 بني أدم واقفين يستنوا و 100 شنطة بتلف قدام الناس بس ولا حد لاقي شنطته!! يعني هذول شنط و أغراض مين؟

Habits! talking to things as they are alive!

Imagine that you have a habit of talking and making comments to things surrounding you as if they are living things... what would be the reaction if they ,once, had the chance to speak?



Scenario:

Scene 1

Location: In a girly bed room, showing the room in two dimensional way (front face)

A girl enter the room from the side of the scene and start speaking to a tidy bear setting on one of the shelves (without hearing the voice of the girl while she is speaking ... just sound of a music) .. then ..

Girl: … so? What do you think?

Tidy Bear move its head form its static situation, looks at the girl, put its hands on its ears, jump of the shelf and start running away, while the girl is totally in shock!



Scene 2

Location: in the same bedroom.

- The girl fell down on the chair while a mug of tea on the desk beside her.

- a shot showing a close on the mug from top view and showing some smoke going out of it

- return back to the front view with focus on the girl location while she is taking the mug in her hand and has a sip and shout..

Girl: Oh! Shit! It is hot!

Mug: Of course it is hot! What did you think?

(showing the mug with an angry face)



Scene 3

Location: in bedroom of the girl while she is sleeping in her bed

Shot 1

- focus on the peaceful face of the girl while she is sleeping.

- a camera view from the eyes of the girl while they are opening with a blurry way .. And the blurriness disappears by the time to show many things surrounding her in her bed!

- a wide angel camera showing the girl with things while she is trying to speak..

Girl: Wha……..

Things: We are in need to speak to you! (Speaking all in one voice)



Shot 2

The girl setting on her chair, while there is a long queue showing on her left side and one thing speaking on her right side.

The girl is looking miserable while her hands are holding her head and she say: “Crap!”

The End

four centimeter of crap!


have you ever thought that you are about to leave your country, family, money, work and every thing in your life behind, to fly more than 5000 KM to a strange land just to make a small pieces of aluminium foil after the middle of the night?! Well... it turned to be something real!

Yesterday was the critic of my first project in my MA course... I am quite unhappy with what I did, honestly! I hate sometimes being moody when it comes to my work.. I just can not focus or start my design project unless I am 100% into it!
Although I had a very strong idea and powerful visuals to begin with.. but, simply, I could not start working till two days before the deadline! While other students were working and almost finishing their designs.. I was doing nothing but getting sick, feeling miserable, sleeping, eating, talking with friends and waking up at 5 am to write my blog!

The day before the deadline, I was not been able to keep my eyes open! I made a mug of turkish coffee to keep me awake, and as soon as i finished it, I found my self sleeping deeply in my bed! Seems it just works in opposite way with me!
So the best way is to have a company all the time in order not to fell asleep on my computer!
It works! But by the time I left my work and start helping my classmate (who had two jobs, working on his project and making sure that I am not getting back to sleep again)! Part of his project was to fill a plastic jar with broken CD pieces, cassettes and small pieces of aluminum foils which , each, has to reach a minimum height of four centimeters in this jar! So we spent more than two hours filling the jar with crap! Strangely, I found it more interesting than my computerized work!

As soon as it became 4 am, I collapsed! And my work was not even close to be done! So I slept for about 3 hours, and as soon as I waked up, evey thing was dancing around me and suddenly an idea hit me!
My project is about showing a song called “Nothing at all” in artistic, creative and graphical way. So what is the best way than showing nothing at all!?
Unfortunately, that does not work! My "nothing at all" turned to be a crap and the 4 cm of crap turned to be genius according to the tutor!

And now, I have less than 7 days to make my own extraordinarily and creative crap for the next project! Do you think I can do it this time?
