Montag haben wir "the great escape 3.0" im Glockencafe und ich überlege gerade, was man denn da machen könnte.

Kit-Bashing

Nun, gerade lese ich über Serenity-Movie und dass die dort Kitbashing verwendet haben um ihre Models zu machen und Geld zu sparen. Kurze, bildliche Erklärung von Dave Van Domelen:

Kitbashing started with model enthusiasts, who were eager to create models of things not already commercially available. So they would take parts of several commercial model kits and "bash" them together to make their dream model. This might be as simple as customizing a staid family car model with parts from a dragster, or as complex as creating something never seen before in any form. The original Star Wars X-Wings are an example of a rather involved kitbash, being made from pieces taken from model ships, tanks, planes and other pieces the fabricators had lying around. Thus, kitbashing is the art of taking elements of what's readily available and making something of your own from it. Kitbashes on my webpage vary from simple repaints to major rebuilding projects.

Okay, so that's what kitbashing is. How does that apply to a philosophical stance? Well, think about it. Life rarely gives you exactly what you want. You basically have three options when you don't get what you want out of life.

1. Cope. Take what life gives you as-is.
2. Complain. Sometimes this will get you what you want, and even if it doesn't, it can be therapeutic.
3. Kitbash. Take what life gives you, add in some other things, put in some work, and change the situation into...well, probably still not exactly what you want, but something a lot closer.

Also, Kit-Bashing heisst, Dinge die existieren so neu anzuordnen, dass man relativ billig neues machen kann. Und niemand wird gegen X-Wings argumentieren können.

Kit-Bashing in Kaiserslautern - wie geht das? Das muss man wohl als Fotomontage sehen! (Montage.... dadadada... Montage ..... dadadadadaa.......)

Ok, dass heisst: live Photoshopping mit Flickr Pics?? bin schon gespannt. Wir könnten Martin's entwicklete "web-cam auf beamer" technik und Scherenschnitte dafür verwenden.

Wau, das könnte fast wie ein Michel Gondry Video werden. Im "Let Forever Be" Video mixt er ja auch Elemente des echten Lebens mit Photos.

Permanent Breakfast

Also, da wäre noch das Permanent Breakfast über das man berichten könnte. Da hätten wir ein Buch, eine Website und massenhaft Photos von mir. Auch Photos vom Permanent Breakfast in Kaiserslautern.
