        There's a sort of implied piece, too, which IIRC Mascelli says elsewhere: it can be anywhere _in this or any imagined Universe_ - instantly to view anything from any angle. What an incredible freedom, and set of choices.

        You have an outstanding knack for surfacing obscure books, speeches, and articles. Impressive! I wish there was a better way for you to share and keep track of them. Anyways, I looked this one up and found a free link to the entire book. https://archive.org/stream/5csOfCinematographery/5cs%20of%20cinematographery%20_djvu.txt …

        Heuristic: long list of interesting subjects (carpentry, dance, origins of the novel, space colony design, anti-matter production, etc). For most there are a tonne of books & papers. Careful use of Google Scholar, Goodreads & Amazon will reveal which are extraordinary. Read them

        When creating art we are threading a needle through the creative multiverse.

        I often think of how in animation it goes from what's filmable to anything at all yet what people animate is often fairly boring. It's why things like Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse or Paprika speak to me. They really use the infinite canvas and push the medium.

        Do you keep track of all these amazing references in tools like Goodreads? If so can we have access to your public profile?
