" It was a day like a slow-motion video of twilight. Uneventful, to put it mildly. The lead grey of the sky mixed ever so slowly with black, finally blending into the night.

Meddling with bits and pieces of recent footage, Sam Renseiw montages further, still under the spell of Inland Empire, into the first part of Dance Dance Dance and quite puzzled by recent events.

"It's a strange thing, ideas. They're not there, and then they're not there again, and then suddenly they're there. And it's a magical and beautiful thing when they do come. And then the next thing you know, there are some ideas you don't like. So those are discarded or saved until they find their place. When you fall in love with ideas, that's pretty close to euphoria."

Still pondering on the vlogging idea(s) and the consistency of the term "art", Sam Renseiw fulfils a voodle request, entitled "but you can dance to it", then proceed to the ritualised diptic production via a new Lumiere bonus video on today's post.
