<b><a href="http://www.thedotclub.org/dotday/" target="_blank">International Dot Day</a></b> is a worldwide celebration of creativity, inspired by FableVision's founder <a href="http://peterhreynolds.com/" target="_blank">Peter H. Reynolds</a> and his book <i><b>The Dot</b></i>. In the spirit of Dot Day, the creative folks at <a href="http://fablevisionstudios.com/" target="_blank">FableVision Studios</a> made their own dots, which we would like to share below. </div>

Every two weeks we retrieve a word from a random-word-generator and "doodle" it. A doodle can be any variety of creative expression.</div>

Want to make a doodle of your own? Tweet us your doodles! Follow FableVision Studios (<a href="http://twitter.com/fvstudioboston">@FVStudioBoston</a>) on Twitter, where we'll announce the new word every other Friday. Simply tweet your doodle to the Twitter account, and we'll retweet your doodle to the world. You'll also be in the running to have your doodle featured here on the Creative Juices blog, where the staff will vote to pick the best doodle of the week.</div>

A doodle can be any variety of creative expression.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px;">We've newly opened the activity to the public. All you have to do is follow FableVision Studios (</span><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/fvstudioboston" style="background-color: white; color: #006699; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;">@FVStudioBoston</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20px;">) on Twitter, where we'll announce the new word each Friday afternoon. At any point during the week, simply tweet your doodle to the Twitter account, and we'll retweet your doodle to the world. You'll also be in the running to have your doodle featured here on the Creative Juices blog, where the staff will vote to pick the best doodle of the week.</span></div>

FableVisionaries created works in pencil, ink, paint, sculpture, digital art, yarn, fortune-cookies, interactive programming, and painted eggs. The title of the show was <span style="font-style: italic;">Outside the Box - A Visionary Art Show</span>, and visitors were treated to a grand evening at FableVision studios.<br /><br />Here is just a small sampling of the art on display. You can see a whole bunch more at the FableVision Facebook <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#%21/media/set/?set=a.10150180762703325.311016.17166453324">photo gallery</a>.

It began as a dark tale by E.T.A. Hoffman, was sweetened by Alexandre Dumas, and turned into a ballet by Tchaikovsky and choreographers Petipa and Ivanov. Even then it wasn’t an instant success, and it took years for the ballet to become the beloved Christmas tradition it is today. (Check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGkWczs4_lc">this video</a> to learn more about the ballet’s history.)<br /><br />So why is it so popular? The ballet itself retains barely a hint of the original story, but enough to make an impression. The story seems to strike a chord the way the best fairy tales do, using fantastical situations to draw out our childhood dreams (a land of sweets) and fears (a wicked mouse king.)<br /><br />Many artists have been inspired to reinterpret the story in books and films. Just this month saw the release of <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.nutcrackerin3d.com/">The Nutcracker in 3D</a>, a steampunk adventure loosely inspired by the original story. The film has been unanimously panned by critics (it got a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes!) Other film versions have been more successful, but it isn’t easy to reinterpret a story that everyone thinks they know, as you end up trying to please all parties.<br /><br />Book adaptations have fared somewhat better, perhaps because a single author or illustrator can bring more artistic focus to the retelling, as opposed to the layers of committee that steer large films. Here are just a few of the Nutcracker books that have been published over the years. It’s interesting to see the variety of interpretation, yet there are consistencies too, which is important in retelling a familiar tale. As the new movie version shows, a radical reinterpretation of a classic is indeed possible, but it's a hard nut to crack.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5FnG5c-kWDkVlbGCjT1Z-YiWG6Txbt0o0TsKbwcgYx2uSVPa-UfkfNorRy4wWrQ9aR7ycsDYD1YH31cjIQyZHKCqIp5AFxRFKMVrrODohfrXGhxXf6LpMwJ37SbbKYUyk9HfcRVP7ktE/s1600/nutcr8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea_%28film%29"><span style="font-style: italic;">Tales from Earthsea</span></a> (<span style="font-style: italic;">Gedo Senki</span> in Japan), based on the Earthsea books by Ursula K. LeGuin, was released in limited theaters this month, with mixed reviews and practically no buzz outside the anime community. The likelihood of it getting wider release is doubtful, judging by reports.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf3Jxnp_J9IAgIwaqtZHc6qUjzWUtb1oE0XzxcqFAp9WetxP4In-YIKBS1H2iQcJJv6ltni7upXd2EPF7evFIuXKwnptE8yCeol1puU-_VRT2oBZpEKvXFO9aMuw8mcTlB_6i0Q9F5x2g/s1600/earthsea_poster2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf3Jxnp_J9IAgIwaqtZHc6qUjzWUtb1oE0XzxcqFAp9WetxP4In-YIKBS1H2iQcJJv6ltni7upXd2EPF7evFIuXKwnptE8yCeol1puU-_VRT2oBZpEKvXFO9aMuw8mcTlB_6i0Q9F5x2g/s400/earthsea_poster2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508826674061421586" border="0" /></a><br />What happened here? There were many unfortunate circumstances surrounding this film. It was originally to be directed by Hayao Miyazaki himself, but he became too busy, so it was given to his son Goro who had never directed a feature film before. The film did well at the Japanese box office, but got mixed reviews and made only half the earnings of <span style="font-style: italic;">Ponyo</span>. Then its release in the U.S. was delayed several years because of rights issues, losing any momentum from the Japanese release. And to make matters worse, the author herself was critical of the film (though she was a bit more positive than reports suggest, you can read her detailed analysis <a href="http://www.ursulakleguin.com/GedoSenkiResponse.html">here</a>.)<br /><br />It’s frustrating when a project with such great potential falls short. The original book is a masterpiece, Ghibli is one of the best studios in the world, the design and production of the film look amazing. And yet a film is more than the sum of its parts, it needs that extra magic to pull it all together. I’ve seen it happen with so many films that didn’t live up to their books, both animated and live-action.<br /><br />Here are the film trailers for the Japanese and U.S. markets. The Japanese one is much longer and contains a bit more of the Ghibli magic. It makes you wonder what might have been, had the elder Miyazaki had a chance to direct it.<br /><br /><object height="250" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/flkYyniVj8k?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/flkYyniVj8k?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="250" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br /><object height="325" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/05sCTxnEs9Y?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/05sCTxnEs9Y?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="325" width="400"></embed></object>John Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11086639143607218007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130650256161013147.post-26037228857096697032010-07-21T22:29:00.004-04:002010-07-21T22:52:45.631-04:00Jim Henson and why we make art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaarvaJLC42AUWbDQitFtWZj03UKxvRmXOFLrVV2sGvMFxn60D7KVCdi53jTLueXLGjCJfVMMp9f-8Rmggjs7v-5e0ofh8mtS2WWTLdugPmRPRA7gUH5T-wYMdKMaBmbVjZ34xhtlNJZo/s1600/mpts.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 388px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaarvaJLC42AUWbDQitFtWZj03UKxvRmXOFLrVV2sGvMFxn60D7KVCdi53jTLueXLGjCJfVMMp9f-8Rmggjs7v-5e0ofh8mtS2WWTLdugPmRPRA7gUH5T-wYMdKMaBmbVjZ34xhtlNJZo/s400/mpts.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496552587268971314" border="0" /></a><br />This spring I attended a wonderful exhibit at the National Heritage Museum in Lexington MA, Jim Henson's Fantastic World. The exhibit brought together a treasure trove of rarely-seen photos, drawings, storyboards, puppets and films by Jim Henson and the Muppets. It gave an overview of his entire career in television and film, which really could have filled twenty such exhibits.<br /><br />There were original puppets of Kermit, Ernie, Bert and others, original drawings and sketches, storyboards for commercials, proposals for early shows, and animated films. I came away with a greater appreciation for the breadth and variety of his talents, which went beyond puppetry to animation, illustration, design, writing, television production and more. Jim Henson could have made a career in any one of these areas, but his creativity and ambition were far beyond the scope of any existing career path, so he had to invent his own.<br /><br />Another revelation that I took from this exhibit was the relentless amount of work and perseverance that continued throughout his career. Realizing his goals was not as easy as he made it seem, he spent years doing commercials and small works while pursuing his dream of bigger things. He also had many ideas and proposals that were never produced, that were turned down by the television networks, but he still kept on trying. If one idea didn’t work, he would try something else. <br /><br />Seeing his prolific output and the many lesser-known projects that he created, you realize that his primary motivation wasn’t fame or money, but simply the love of creating. Even if he had not become a success, you get the impression that he still would have spent every day of his life creating art and telling stories, and I think this is an important lesson for artists everywhere. Certainly artists have to make a living and sell our work, but we should also have a little fun and do what is meaningful to us.<br /><br />One of his most famous quotes is, “My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.” That certainly turned out to be an understatement; but it shows that keeping things in perspective can help us focus on what is important. Follow your creative ambition and do something that makes you happy. And if you leave the world just a little bit better than when you found it, I’m sure Jim Henson would approve.John Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11086639143607218007noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130650256161013147.post-62050377848634493632010-07-09T11:49:00.004-04:002010-07-09T11:57:40.587-04:00WTD:?

They both draw upon existing mythology while inventing their own. Both have avid (rabid?) fans who are passionate in their praise and their criticism. Both have six “parts” (if you count each television season as one part.) Both use comic relief to break the tension while tackling issues of life and death. Both have been hailed and assailed by critics as game-changing forces of pop culture and melodramatic fluff.<br /><br />So far so good, but both sagas are more than just the sum of their parts. The best fantasy uses its fantastic settings and characters as metaphors for our own world. Both of these epics did just that, though with how much success is still up for debate. At the heart of both stories is the struggle of good vs. evil. Other themes included family, friendship, loyalty, faith, and our own search for meaning.<br /><br />Because <span style="font-style: italic;">Lost</span> had so many hours to work with, the show could explore these themes in much greater detail and variation. <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars</span> didn’t have this luxury of time, and instead used a broader brush to paint its big ideas. Although the story and themes of <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars</span> were simpler than those in <span style="font-style: italic;">Lost</span>, this was also an advantage, for the writers could polish their big concepts without getting bogged down in dozens of minor characters and sub-plots (can you imagine the complications that time-travel would have brought to the plot of <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars?</span>) I would even say that <span style="font-style: italic;">Lost</span> is more science fiction than <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars</span>, because issues of science and physics were integral to its story.<br /><br />But here’s the most interesting parallel, I think. Both sagas raised big questions in their early chapters, and both tried to answer those questions in their later chapters. The general criticism aimed by some viewers at the ending of <span style="font-style: italic;">Lost</span> (and I partly share their assessment) is that the show did not answer all of the questions it raised, and when it did, the answers did not live up to expectations. My own criticism of the final three <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars</span> films (Episode 1, 2 & 3) is that even though they did answer most of the questions raised in the earlier films (the origins of Darth Vader, the Clone Wars, etc.), the films did not inspire us the way the first trilogy did; the storytelling was somehow less satisfying.<br /><br />To this I would say that some things are better left unsaid, and some mysteries better left unsolved. In the very first <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars</span> film, we did not need to know where Darth Vader came from, his very mystery was part of his appeal. During most of <span style="font-style: italic;">Lost</span> we likewise did not know the origin of the smoke monster, nor all of the other mysteries of the island, yet it was thrilling to watch each puzzle lead into another. I’m not saying that storytellers shouldn’t bother solving their mysteries or tying up loose ends – only that it’s okay to leave a little mystery, because that’s what keeps life interesting. And by letting your audience use their imagination to fill in the blanks, you are involving them more actively and making the whole experience more engaging. It expands the story in infinite ways beyond anything the writers could have imagined.<br /><br />So here is a message for creators and viewers of genre fiction or any other fiction. Questions are okay if they make you think, if they stir the imagination. Not everything needs to be tied up in a bow; art is a conversation not an explanation. And if you're forced to use your brain once in a while, don't worry, it's good for you.John Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11086639143607218007noreply@blogger.com2
