A new beginning.
Recently i had posted a 'solution' to a problem faced by many fellow designers. As designers, we can get a little messy thus causing us to lose many items preventing us from completing our work. i decided to help my fellow designers by making a table that would fix most aspects of this problem but this was the mistake i made. i hadnt realised how much creativity i could involve in making a simple video about this and the distance i could go, doing so i have moved on to something new, entitled, '
PROCRASTINATION'
Confused? here, let me confuse you a little more.
What if i told you, that the solution to your braindead ideas was procrastination?
P R O B L E M
Our brief was to make a video explaining or summarising a '
Solution' for any matter, so why not something anyone is familiar with and something that can be performed at almost anytime? all you need is inspiration my friends.
To write this very post i had procrastinated alot, from all the assignments we had received, i was in no state to even think of simplest ideas for my assignments and so werent many of my peers.
SO L U T I O N
Is there any way to reduce this problem?
not specifically but a few methods include not stressing out, this blocks all great thinking habits which would increase the risk of confusion and more stress causing health problems
who would have known that procrastination would do the job?
If it werent for a crazy but wonderful lecturer, i wouldnt have reached so far with such great ideas. Have you ever heard of the statement, 'your best ideas come at the last of moments'? no? well its because ive just rephrased and made it. Sadly, its true, for most people infact. This is where procrastination had played its part, even if someone does have ideas for a simple presentation weeks before its due, it probably wouldnt have been as great as what that person would have thought of hours before the actual deadline. simple.

For my assignment, i had made a video showing the solution to braindead thinking using a spy as an example. a lazy but herois and worthy spy, his only weakness being his long hours of procrastination.
i have made this video a little different then one would expect, in the form of a trailer solely for hiding small purposes and detials,
The outcomes of his actions prove procrastination positive, what he procrastinates about is all up to you..
This was an inspiration from my archetype, creativity, whereby a man had created a table for designers, my original idea changing into my recent was an inspiration or more of a spark from my lecturer.
The video basically involves a spy who lazes around most of the time doing things that are not worth his time but all this lazing had got him thinking to do something great, this great movement would change thousands of lives all due to procrastination.
Here is a little link to my video
problems i encountered during the making of the video
The syncing of video and audio was fairly difficult which can be seen easily when some scenes cut fast. Hopefully the idea had come across well.
My learning outcomes
Learning to use new tools for assignments and experiencing endless methods in creating something extraordinary.
Just to add up, i had been working on several videos at once and one of them included me writing a poem/song for the specific video, hopefully youve learnt something new and enjoy the following (:
Im laying here thinking, guessing, experimenting;
about who what or instead of the time i should be spending;
working out my final ideas for the situatuations;
all i have is time but my work still pending;
my table looks messy from the ideas i threw on to it;
cleaning it up will get me going on working upon shh*;
theres so much i have to do but this light keeps flickering;
changing would not be great but somethings got to be done to keep it lit;
as i start listing my pencil starts to shake;
my hands, are they cold? or do i just need to wait;
it must be the hunger, its driving me insane;
i don't know what to do, i can't even think about anything;
this work, its just gotta wait.
walking out, locking the door behind me;
just to get some food something to revive me;
i get back but tired, as tired as can be;
doing a little too much, i thought id rest, watch some tv.
i have been thinking too little a little too much;
to make something work, something to be brought up;
something sublime, grandeur but it falls out my head;
like a hole in my cup, I'm left again, blank but undead.
a day to go, but my minds running quicker;
I'm thinking, admitting, i may be getting sick but;
theres work to be done when will i get there?;
all thats in my mind is black hole stare;
wait, whats this? a thought in my mind?;
like being shot in the head by a bullet from behind;
i get it! i know it! i can finally perceive;
i take my pencil and run, before it slips my mind!
I'm writing, I'm noticing waiting, anticipating;
im smiling and crying, theres nothing more I'm craving;
the joy, happiness, how amazing is this feeling;
I'm finally done, I'm there.. no more waiting..
who says being lazy is a crime?
