Artistic Affection

One thing I really like about making movies is the ability to capture, on a synthetic format, a moment in time that cannot ever be duplicated or recreated. When I was shooting the last half of Human’s Lib, I was in a beautiful area of woods on an overcast day. The way the gray clouds kind of twirled through the white ones held all kinds of wonder and magic that I would never see or feel again. They reminded me of the skies over Knox, Pennsylvania that for some reason never look as beautiful anywhere else in PA. We were about to move on from that location to go deeper into the woods, but I stopped Cairon and AJ and told them that I really needed to get that shot. I framed Cairon and the clouds so that I could always remember the way those clouds looked. Every time I look at Human’s Lib, I remember the feelings I had when setting up that shot. That’s the kind of magic that I cherish when making movies.
