$!MR. LYNCH HAS BEEN MEDITATING FOR OVER 33 YEARS|}

Last night I had to work at SMART cinema and got to watch my first movie there for free. Because my colleague Carina didn't mind me leaving early as all movies were already playing and those would be the last ones for the day, instead of leaving I asked if it would be alright to watch the movie that was playing in the big cinema. She was alright with that, so therefore I ended up seeing this documentary about David Lynch, called Lynch, or Lynch (One) by blackANDwhite. I have to say I feel so cool showing the movie for the people and then getting to watch the movie myself. It's so fun to work at this place. I love this job. So what I learned from the documentary. Well, firstly, Mr. Lynch meditates. Funny. He loves visiting old factories. And started making photographs dogitally. I already knew he shot his last film Inland Empire digitally, so nothing new there, but stil it was nice to see some footage of him at the set of the film. I learned how he works with his actors like Laura Dern, how he directs. I love him for the fact that he´s very involved and does a lot of things himself. That's something I can really appreciate. I love artists who are really in control of their work. I once again realized how it has to be like working on a film set as an actor and how fun it is to act and really be able to be busy with it and get directions from the director you are working with. It´s really fun. Lynch is also a sound engineer and used this old gramophone player to get some freaky sounds. The guy loves France and celebrates the 14th of July, Bastille day. I guess there was more, but so far this is what I could remember right now of all the things I found out about the guy. I also loved his appreciation of a good photograph, it's nice to see someone so passionate about something. And of course his hair, so fun this guy must be.

^\I'M GETTING MORE AND MORE CONFUSED~?

I feel that this is something that has been going on for months. It's all a mixture of photography and the use of things like photoshop, film and the whole digitalization etc. etc. I was supposed to work on university stuff, but I lost my focus. Right now, someone explain me please what exactly is the real exact difference between shooting a film on film or doing it digitally?! Or wait, I think I know very well what the difference is, I just don't seem to really know what the kind of camera is they use for most films. Here you will find a clip of the greatness that is mr. Gus Van Sant who apparently edited Elephant by hand! He's what you call a 'splicer', someone doing all the editing by cutting up the filmstock, instead of using all these editing software programs which exist for the computer. I found this clip at YouTube and one person replied by saying, I didn't know it was shot on film! But then I think, aren't all films, except for e.g. David Lynch's Inland Empire, shot on film? But then they just digitalize it to be able to cut? So I'm all confused, maybe I do know the difference and everything, but I still feel this is something I just can't truly get my head around. The photoshop thing in photography is another issue, something I'll one day bring to this blog as well. ;)
