BOOK 191: CREATIVE CONFIDENCE: UNLEASHING THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL WITHIN US ALL: DAVID KELLEY& TOM KELLEY
IDEO founder and Stanford d.school creator David Kelley and his brother Tom Kelley, IDEO partner and the author of the bestselling The Art of Innovation, have written a powerful and compelling book on unleashing the creativity that lies within each and every one of us.
Too often, companies and individuals assume that creativity and innovation are the domain of the “creative types.” But two of the leading experts in innovation, design, and creativity on the planet show us that each and every one of us is creative. In an incredibly entertaining and inspiring narrative that draws on countless stories from their work at IDEO and with many of the world’s top companies, David and Tom Kelley identify the principles and strategies that will allow us to tap into our creative potential in our work lives, and in our personal lives, and allow us to innovate in terms of how we approach and solve problems. It is a book that will help each of us be more productive and successful in our lives and in our careers.

BOOK 171: CATCHING THE BIG FISH:
DAVID LYNCH
This book by film director David Lynch,
is an autobiography and self-help guide comprising 84 vignette-like chapters. Lynch
comments on a wide range of topics “from metaphysics to the importance of
screening your movie before a test audience.” Catching the Big Fish was
inspired by Lynch's experiences with Transcendental Meditation (TM), which he began practicing in
1973. In the book, Lynch writes about his approach to filmmaking
and other creative arts.

FILM 1403: LOVE & MERCY
TRIVIA: The real Wilson reported
having a mild dissociative experience while watching the film. He started to
believe that Paul Giamatti
was the actual Eugene Landy and felt "absolutely in fear" for several
minutes.
During the Q&A at the film's
premier at SXSW '15, Brian Wilson stated that his favorite scene in the movie was
the intimate scene between Cusack and Banks, reflecting a happy moment between
his real life wife and himself.
The studio scenes were improvised
in a live, unrehearsed pseudo-documentary style with two 16mm handheld cameras.
Dano, who once played in a band, was really directing the actors on how to play
their instruments, who themselves were also real life musicians. While these
scenes were mostly unscripted, Dano directly quoted some lines spoken by Wilson
from the original session tapes.
Atticus Ross's original
score, composed almost entirely from original Beach Boys multi-track recording
stems, was inspired by the Beatles' experimental sound collage "Revolution
9" and Danger Mouse's Beatles/Jay-Z mash-up "The Grey Album".
A third era which focused on Brian
Wilson's infamous bed period in the 1970s was considered, but ultimately
discarded, leaving some of his most troubled years to the viewer's imagination.
When asked who would have filled the third Wilson role, Pohlad responded that
he had considered Philip
Seymour Hoffman.
Dano alternates throughout the film
between singing for real and lip-syncing to original recordings of Wilson's
singing.

… OF THE DAY
A few sketches of some furniture
that David Lynch personally made for the film Lost Highway.
I am a big Lynch fan, I am always
fascinated by his way of thinking and the way he creates things that no one
else could even dream of thinking of.
His capacity for problem solving and his span of creativity leave me in
awe.
I watched a documentary today on
YouTube which mostly focused around the filming of Lost Highway but also looked
at Lynch’s paintings and photographic art as well as early short films that I
had never seen before. I recommend it to
anyone not only interested in David Lynch but also in film-making or set design
or art in general. Here’s a link for you…
