Inspiration

Brainstorming, I put one of my favorites words (e.g.: sublime) and an important subjects for me (e.g.: trying to live in the present), among others ideas. I went to the dictionary to check the meaning of the word and I realized the two meanings. I saw the possible connection between the stages of the matter and an illustrative way to describe the feeling of time and I put my brain to work on a way to transform it into a film.

The main problem when creating Sublime is that this subject was so metaphysical that I tried twice to express the idea without using words. Finally I tried preparing an script, and no matter how I wrote it, the idea always seemed to come to my mind as a poem. It was like I was possessed by Dr. Seuss! Fortunately it worked. 🙂
