Shooting resume
This morning the official shooting finally happened. Not everything from the script was respected, as the actors and their number (I wanted 5 people, but only 4 showed up) were different then expected and, most of all, I didn’t calculate that the areas designated for the shooting were incredibly crowded during the weekend. I usually walk past those streets during…

Last amendments before the shooting
After a project review with Tobias, I changed quite a lot the script of the film. From 3 scenes I reduced it to one, only the one which will see a person walking in the street. Furthermore he suggested me to describe only an idea and better, rather than three in a quick, approximate way. I’ve got only 3 minutes,…

RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

The role of design/designer
As we come to speak of the role of designers nowadays, I can’t avoid to mention a talk which I already reported in a previous post: the one of Tim Brown, where he urges designer to think big, to focus on the design thinking rather than just design small and often useless products.
“And I’d like to suggest that if…

First scene, good as a draft
Ok, I was to pretentious to expect a good first take and as usual I’ve been too cynical with myself and the scene which I thought was pretty bad, for Tobias (our visiting tutor for Speculative Design) is not bad at all, it’s actually a perfect first draft.
Took courage I show it here:
Apparently it was good how I…

As exercise for our Final Major project proposal submission, we have been asked to reverse engineer an existing design project and create a project proposal for it. The project which I chose to analyse is Jennifer Lyn Morone, Inc. by Jennifer Morone, RCA Design Interactions graduate.
Within a list of few projects proposed to analyse, I immediately chose this one,…

The first scene doesn’t work
Few weeks ago I managed to shoot the first scene for my Speculative Design film, it was 30 seconds as expected, the weather was finally cloudy and sad, however it didn’t really work. It’s my first experience both as video director and as cameramen for something, say, built up. The scene is representing what I wanted, but really in a…

Project ready for Berlin
My project on Social Object is ready for the ThingsCon conference in Berlin. After spending a month trying to build a prototype forThe Stubborn Door, I had eventually to give in my idea for logistic reason (reported in my previous post).
Hence, I get back to my previous room mockup showing The Morning Window having only a week I did…
