Thought behind the Thought
What is the starting point of creativity? Why does one create? And how? This is surely something that every creative person, who has experienced the agony and ecstasy of creation has gone through!
The process of creating is a complex series of events, or rather, bursts of activity in the creator's mind. A process that sometimes completely takes over the peaceful world and replaces it with a compulsive, chaotic, pulsating, complex world where emotions run high, and satisfaction runs low. A process that agitates, as well as stimulates.
About the art
The short film below takes one on a journey into the creative process, made by Mikey Please. The animator and director makes movies using mostly styrofoam. The familiar packing material turns out to be a fabulous visual material, at once crisp and soft, an unusual, but exciting material to explore for animation.
Marilyn Myller, the 6 minute short takes a satirical view to artistry. The title character, Marilyn Myller, has great powers of creation; like Please, she crafts whole worlds out of glittery white foam. But to get anyone to notice her, Myller must turn a spontaneous moment in the studio into a neutered, replicable presentation. It's an arc any art student should recognize... that is if they can pay attention in the midst of all that magical styrofoam.
