MINICONCEPTDOC #43: NATURAL

---
Here we go with my meta bent!

We got films within films and themes within themes, people.

This week's MCD has a star. You will finally get to see and hear Theo Langason at work as he creates the music for this week's short.

The theme is NATURAL. I suppose I'm interested in how natural or arduous the art making process is, so it was a pleasure to hear Theo talk about what inspires, informs, and influences him and how a song comes to life.

THEN, I wanted to take the song from it's natural birth and apply it to a doc within a doc that captured the NATURAL theme. I struggled with what that content would be...

When that happens, I just drive, and think... I wander and lose myself.

I stumbled upon something I can only call sublime. The beauty of the scene was arresting. It was an experience both natural and unnatural, but I came away with nothing but completly inspired and wonderful thoughts. But... I'll let you decide.

It's only NATURAL:

MINICONCEPTDOC #42: TRADITION

---
I actually had two MCD's ready to go for yesterday... And one of them is a pretty involved episode. But... you won't be seeing that today. You also won't be seeing a cool little number starring Miss Juni Ella. Those will come over the next week.

That's because I took the spirit of the holiday as a chance to use TRADITION. Forgive me for posting a day late, but since today is a continuation of the Holiday, it's kind of like it's still Sunday. Plus, I needed the extra time to put something together for the good ol' U.S. of A.! You can allow me that much latitude, right? Raise your sparklers towards Old Glory people.

So... here we have some AMERICAN CHILDREN, AMERICAN MUMMERS, and AMERICAN EXPLOSIONS.

Independence Day!

Here are a few American TRADITIONS:

BTW - Only ten more MINICONCEPTDOCS to go! That's five weeks. Time flies when your bustin' your @$$ to make art.
