Some of the most wonderful experiences I've had, involved people sharing the moment, and enlightening our senses with just ourselves and whatever we have surrounding us to make music. Bottles, spoons, pots, nuts to shake haha, bongos, guitars, hands and feet.
That sort of spontaneity definitely put a smile on everybody's faces, it was organic and we were living and I feel like those are all great things.
The rough theater has great potential to be the most magical I would believe.
We can spend millions and attempt to create what we assume or expect is perfection. But the feelings you get from using the moment, and embracing whats offered around us (that may easily be ignored); to share quality fresh natural experiences is not quite achievable when it's arranged and imposed I believe.
Though beautiful experiences can well be achieved with planning and preparation to I'm sure, it would not have the same effect the grounded nature the rough theater provides.

6x1 Part II
There really isnt much I would change. I mean Im pretty sure all we ever say are great things about this class.
I mean WE- BUILT-- A - FORT!!! -- IN - CLASS for goodness sakes hahahahaa.
I would totally keep the blogging happening, its great to keep us up to date with the readings, and keep thoughts flowing.
And I feel like the flow of how the due dates are works very well. Also how we start off with more group work and finish with more individual is beneficial I feel to.
Maybe one thing I would change on that note, is how the group work/ partner work plays out. I think it would be beneficial if group membered mixed and matched a bit more, to further spark the flow of new ideas; and be good practise to work with the different environments peoples differing opinions bring to production.
Very literally though it is one of my favourite classes I've ever taken and I really don't have much critique to be made.
I mean I could keep talking about all the things I enjoy about class, but I don't think that really helps much toward making changes.
I even like the readings chosen. As they sparked ideas in a sort of alternate matter. It wasn't straight out, heres 'how to' information. So much as abstract ideas, enlightening us with variations of art forms, and the different options there are within them to individually approaching it. As I keep saying, it encourages the flow of creativity and new ideas to broadening our ideas and opinions.
So I dunno how helpful this blog is, hopefully some, but that is pretty much all I have. So basically If I made a 6x1 it would be called traditional 6x1 maybe hahahahhaa. And I'd theif your subject outline and photocopy it for the students. Call is plagurism if you like, I call it this thing some teacher taught me once called contextualisation. HAHAHAHA kidding =P hahaha.
But pretty much yes that is what Id do hahaha. So congratulations I suppose on succeeding with ease at satisfying us all with our learnings for the semester. =P

Mystery Workshop response.~..
Today pretty much reminded me of the fact that were living in a world in which science fiction ideas are more and more becoming realities. Its insane to me that we just casually made a 3D short in the space of a few hours.
On the topic of 3D im unsure as to how successful it will ever be in the industry. I had to go to a conference in Sydney Australia for a group called SMPTE who basically organise a gathering of the biggest manufactures of production equipment and such in the country. It was a great experience, got to see some of the finest stuff, like tv helicopters for sale and huge OB trucks it was cool. But one of the other parts were the release of 3D cameras, as there trying to slip them into replacing normal TV's with 3D. It is not an established notion yet Im quite sure =P. As I mentioned earlier too I'm not sure as too how successful this would be. Just because of the fact that you have top wear the glasses all the time, and it would be quite a headache to casually have the fuzzy images playing in the background as normal TV's might now. But, it's till an awesome thing, that we can have that visual experience, where the screen is given the added dimension to look so close to reality. It had potential to open alot of new doors I feel.
Also everyone loves to go see a good 3D film at the cinemas. =P
It was a great experience though, and I'm still so blown away as to how simple it really was to accomplish. Im sad I didn't think to invent it HAHAHA.
Technology is an interesting thing to me, it fascinates me in many ways, and at the same time scares the hell out of me. Sometimes its my friend and I find alot of benefits, like how close it brings the world together I've notices more since being here; as its so easy to contact my friends and family on the other side of the world and such. Other times it hates me like when my computer and hardrive both decide to hate me in one weekend and comit suicide. HAHA
At the end of the day it has benefits and negatives, and thats just life. Hopefully we keep it manageable though and don't get too sucked into the screen, (see the slight pun there hahahha).
The star wars shoot was also a fun experience. If there's one thing I've learned from 6x1 it's that it reminded see how simple and enjoyable it can be and is to make productions. In other production classes I've had I almost lost that idea, just because of how much stress is put into some projects, planning managing forms, being forced to practise for the industry. And though those are good things to practise still too, 6x1 has brought the life back into production.
Im so ready to go enter a bunch of 48hr film festivals now for examole =P. Something inside me before said that was a crazy idea, too much pressure.
On a side note in relation to the 48hr, I loved the experience for the similar to the above reasons. But as well that the beauty of the 48hr is that you don't know whats going to happen, you have to think of an idea past, theres no time to over think it, you have to be creative and in the moment with this crazy little light bulb dude. It was great haha.
I went off track as usual, but yes, once again class was great, and Im about to go make my friends jealous in Australia that I got to play with 3D while I was here and build a fort hahaha.
Living off canned goods and rice for months was worth it!! =P HAHA
Peace be from Channy K-b

What is my "rough theatre"?
I suppose the rought theatre to me is everything I encounter unexpectedly. Everything I learn from my practises. Just as in life I love to accept all possobilities, all ideas, all arguments, to learn and become vastly as aware as possible. I like to do the same with film, to make new discoveries and encourage different and new approaches to techniques that appear at me.
I like to use or appreciate mistakes (like in my rythmic when my hair got in the way but I ended up liking it).
Rought theatre is a great concept, and the reading makes me want to go and see a rought theatre play based on those sorts of ideas, or see a film, I believe it would be interesting.
Tonight was a little too much for me, and since I fell asleep in a strange disacoiated state and woke up just now remembering to do this I feel limited to what I want to say. Since I'm still a little (well know out of it) but in disbelief at how today went.
But the my ideas on the rough theatre I find intuiging, interesting, and I would like to explore these ideas further. Some of the greatest things cannot be planned, and the greatest adventures come from spontanuity.
I think this applies to film to, to be open to new ideas is important, to keep your projects in the moment and fulfilled by the fresh appeal of spontanuity. To not get caught up in what you think you want, and to be open to developing progression I feel is very important.
In the 48 hour I feel these ideas of keeping in the moment became important, as I didn;t want to second guess myself. I wanted to appreciate my original idea and go straight with that, and allow whatever flowed from that to be incorporated. I feel I succeeded in that way, not that I ended up using all ideas, but things felt they flowed nicely. And my ideas definitely progressed as i saw things even day to day. For example i saw a girl drawing outside, which inspired me to draw a fictional space for my hand people (of my film) and allow it to come to life by stop motion (I didnt use it coz there wasn't enought time in a minute) but it inspired thought, in the moment, which I liked/appreciated.
The rought theatre is a great concept that I am glad to consider as I work, and am intuiged to see some more specific examples of "rough theatre" if I can.
(It's also is relevant to another class i have where we were assigned to research film fetivals, some of which i found have specific entries for rough cuts. I understand what this is for, but I am interested to see what some look like and to appreciate what the works are for 'what they are' in that stage.
