From @dianebleck ‘s #sketchbookbasics inside the #doodleinstitute, the assignment was to doodle your top 5 values. The hardest part is narrowing down my top 5! So I had to qualify as my top 5 of the moment (a lady gets to change her mind, of course. ?) The other challenge is preventing my perfectionist gremlins from creeping in and taking over!
I’ve been in improv mode for so long, that going back to “now I must plot things out and compose before I begin” is dangerous territory!
It’s easy to get sucked into the “tweak-tweak-tweak-tweak FOREVER UNTIL IT’S PERFECT” trap.
I had to remind myself that the assignment was to DOODLE my values. Not to make a masterpiece.
What IF I let it be an improvisational doodle?
I didn’t actually do that, but I DID let go of the perfectionist tweaking, and split the difference.
There are lots of things I’d change to make it better, but I’m sure that would be the case if I’d agonized over the layout before doing the finished piece, too. Except that way I wouldn’t have enjoyed the process nearly as much!! My goal is to be fully improvisational. A sketchnoter! No advance layouts involved there–just GO! Some will come out better than others. And overall, the quality of work will rise as you do it, because you learn from your experience.
So today was one experience. Tomorrow will be another.
Bring it on! ?

LCN 125: Noah Scott Talks Film in a Freezer
/
RSS Feed
Noah Scott was sitting in a walk-in freezer when he spoke with me the other day.
Granted, the freezer wasn’t turned on — apparently decommissioned walk-in freezers make great sound recording studios — but still, he said it smelled a little weird.
Said freezer is part of a startup accelerator and co-working space called the Expert Dojo, where Noah — director, producer, and founder of the film production company LA REELS — brings his film expertise to bear.
But film expertise is actually pretty new in Noah’s life.
It all started with a 500 km walk across Japan about five years ago, and a spontaneous decision to film that walk with his iPhone.
He tells this story, and what happened afterwards, in our conversation. It kept me on the edge of my seat! Have a listen. [Read more…]
