Stretching Creative Muscles
If we are to imagine new things then we must be able to use our imagination in new and sometimes brave ways.
The link leads to a snippet of The Dirty Projectors CD/DVD opera called “The Getty Address”. An opera about Don Henley.
It…
1. is a rock opera with Don Henley and Sacajawea as the main characters.
2. has faith in our ability to be sophisticated consumers of visual and musical stories.
3. chooses the simplest animation techniques over the render-heavy options and does so to a very successful end.
4. is an incredible experience before being a literal message.
It’s not easy to get through with my increasingly shorter attention span but encourages me that there are still creatives out there who are brave enough to try and stretch us.
