If
you want to do something totally innovative and shake the whole world, here are
few tips from me. Being new and experimental isn’t very difficult. Simply being
sanely insane will give you shocking results. Being sanely insane means keeping
your core completely calm and cool while running amok with no rules. Be like a
pulsar. Run wild and insane while keeping total control of it. Learn to utilize
insanity and direct it in the direction you desire by keeping the center
yourself calm.
Think
of what you want to do and figure out how it should be done. Just make a rough
sketch. This sketch is exactly what you are not going to do. Think about what a
dance should be and think about what Gangnam-style is. Not everyone is gonna
like the innovative things but the ones who are gonna like it are gonna love it
for life. Think of Steven Spielberg movies and Christopher Nolan movies. When
you stand out from the rest you get easily noticed and people will either
quickly ignore you or quickly fall in love with your work. It’s like Bioshock.
Some loves it, but some people just can’t take it.
Next
is something you might not have expected. It is stealing ideas and concepts.
When you infest an idea and inject your own ideals into it or when you use the
idea for your own purposes, it becomes your own idea. If you watch the movie
Cloud Atlas (2012) you will know what I mean.It is one of the most innovative
and vanguard movies of all time. But it is just a cocktail of other people’s
concepts when dissolved into fragments.
The movie
uses random concepts to tell the story it wants in a way of its own. Cloud
Atlas is an excellent example for stealing based innovative creations. At least
80% of the movie is just stolen parts from several dozen movies of several
genres. But the core of the movie is purely genuine. Instead of working hard to
create moments, the movie takes them from other works and use them for its own
purposes to tell a story of its own. True stealing is making other’s work into
LEGO pieces. When you create something out of LEGO pieces, people only see your
innovation. When everything is connected to create a context the individuality
of single stolen concepts doesn’t matter at all.
Another
thing is screwing with your own creations. After reaching a significant level
of development try to steal your own idea and make it something completely
different. Then incorporate it into your concept. Some person put a short story
into a piece of music instead of showing some guys play the instrument and it
became a totally new experience for people. Michal Jackson added both story and
dance and it made him the pop king.
ü Do what you are not
supposed to do
ü Infest ideas and make
them your own
ü Incorporate different
things into your idea
On the top of that, keep being sanely insane. Free yourself from all
rules and bondage> keep your control and get crazy.
