Life begins in Tokyo - an introduction

Life begins in Tokyo.... Staring here is a bit of a retrospective on the memories I have harvested so far. Memories are life's diary. I believe Oscar Wilde said something to that effect once. Unfortunately they fade rather too quickly for my liking. Especially the memories of the little things which are often the most significant. The feeling a piece of music gave you. The subtle shifting of the emotions that flow through the veins, some familiar, others not so familiar. The little ponderings that bubble up to the surface of the mind whilst staring out of the train window. I always remember something I read in 'the art of travel' by Alain de Botton. He said "Trains are the midwives of thought." Today I thought how cool it would be to edit together a short film made up of well shot 1 minute video clips taken on a mobile phone. Like an intimate and immediate glipmpse into someone's everyday existence. It would be a view of the world that reflected not only the experience of the self in a particular set of environments, but the gathering and recording of these experiences via new technological mediums. Short videos retain the freshness of the moment unedited, uncorrupted; the truth of the moment, whilst providing you with the narrative satisfaction you get from a moving image. The added sense of time moving. It would work well in a place like Tokyo that is a shock to the senses. Everything is so intense. The aesthetics of it would make the film an interesting one if nothing else. Somewhat self indulgent though perhaps....
