Response to Simon Tarr (meant to be posted 11/11/11)

(Caught the stomach flu didnt get chance to post this)
Interesting qoute:
The most interesting qoute this is not word for word but he mention "In my art I make it a practice to play/create work constantly and not wait for the inspiration to come."

Three Words:
Creative
Confident
Engaging

Intresting things learned:
I thought it was interesting how he could perform ideos and be able to control them in front of people.  I thought was cool how he could control videos like a dj control music that is somthing I have never learned before.  He could alter and changed them along with music which is really fasinating to me.  I could tell that he really loves what he does and you can't always see that with artist it is really nice to see someone with a true passion for what they do.

Answer to Questions:  

1)  What inspires your films how do you think of/come across a idea for what to make?

He said he is always creating making work.  he saidhe does not wait around for inspiration to come to him.  He uses influenes from stock footage he collects is always filming and takes what he has or what is around him to think of the work he makes.
2) What got you into film what inspired you to work with film?

 I did not get answer for what got him into film but I could tell he was really passionate about what he does and I know that is why he continues to make the work that he does.

 Intresting Piece:
The most compelling piece I thought of his was his live video performance piece with the Eskimos.  I can not find the name of it I thought i wrote it down but I found that piece really fascinating because of what he could do with it live and the content of the footage.    

New Questions?:
What is your favorite work you have ever made? In the beginning of making your work how did you make the money to be able continue what you did.  Did you have to pick up odd jobs that were not related to art or involved with film?
