The Game Begins with an Idea: Your Silent Partner/ Subconsious

The Game Begins with an Idea: Your Silent Partner

Stephen King said, “It's right that you should do all the work and burn all the midnight oil, because the guy with the cigar and the little wings has got a bag of magic. There's stuff in the there that can change your life.”

Stephen King was talking about his subconscious mind.

Schell describes the subconscious as follows:
Can't talk
Impulsive
Emotional
Playful
Irrational

Well, last night I had a very unusual experience, largely resulting from my subconscious mind – the impulsive, playful, and irrational parts especially. You see, I brought my friend and a ton of bags, books, cameras to the computer lab at about 8:30 at night. We were planning to start recording some stuff. However, when we go there, I found that my swipe card did not work! Not wanting to turn around and drag all of the stuff back to the car, we decided to just make the most of it. We realized we had a camera and then noticed an orange chair in the hallway and then began to take in the sterile atmosphere of the building and before we knew it we were filming outside of the computer lab, pushing the orange chair down hallways. And well, just going with it! We got absorbed in a creative process which resulted in a lot of laughter and in the end, some pretty cool filmed clips that may very well find themselves put to use in a project.
