FILMMAKING IN GOBLIN MODE
The Snakerij codename is associated with spontaneaous, rapid, unobstructed methods of storytelling and filmmaking. Using all the cheapest tricks and most vulgar tools available, and not even stealthily.
Much of humanity's Great Art is deemed so because of a certain type of energy infused into it by all the time and effort the artist has spent on its creation.
Other kinds of Art draw power from their impulsive spur-of-the-moment inspiration, instinctively truthful, mostly bypassing the mechanics of time and process.
Cinema typically falls into the first category.
The emergence of goblin mode culture as the only permissible refuge from both commercial productivity and always-on digital media performance poses a considerable problem for long-haul artistic activity. Goblin mode is by definition incompatible with the sustained discipline and sacrifice that fuels such art.
PREVIOUSLY goblin mode cinema could only be possible through montage of archival footage.
TODAY, the emergence of generative AI systems allows goblin mode filmmaking to soar to industrial proportions and dizzying production-value.
TOMORROW, who knows!
