Derek Statement

 My attitude to life is that you cannot fear failure. The process of creating video art to me is an experiment. It begins with a bunch of ideas. Once I reach around twenty to thirty ideas I begin developing a theme to fit these ideas. It is like a jig saw puzzle. I test all the ideas to figure out where they fit the best. Once a tentative plan is established I begin experimenting with my ideas to figure out how to achieve the effect I want. Sometime I will be able to get the desired affect sometime not. If I cannot get what I want I will either modify the idea or look back at my ideas and choose another one. Generating as many ideas as I can allows me to funnel my ideas down so I reach the best one.
