p!ross uses he/she/they pronouns and uses any terms but prefers masc! she is demiallo and mspec.

Chronopolis (1982) Piotr Kamler
meet with the artist, notes:
screening during Timeless Film Festival in Warsaw
⚪ opowieść o kuli we wszechświecie
⚫ a story of a sphere in the universe
⚪ a wzięło się to z zachwytu nad geometrycznymi kształtami, jakie dwa kolory piasku robią, przemieszawszy się w pudełeczku, które się traca
⚫ for which the idea came from a love of geometric figures, and also shapes that arise from mixing two colours of sand in a small box and flicking that box
⚪ atomy, kulki, materia, czas
⚫ atoms, spheres, matter, time
⚪ z czego ta kulka jest urocza i plastyczna, bardziej jak piłka
⚫ but the sphere in the story is cute and malleable and springy, more like a ball
⚪ plastyczna i skoczna i zmienna w przeciwieństwie do nieśmiertelnych zamieszkujących Chronopolis, twardzi, ze skały, niemalże nieruchomi, niezmienni
⚫ it's malleable and springy and CHANGEABLE as opposed to the immortal inhabitants of Chronopolis; they're hard, made as if from stone, almost immobile, a constant
⚪ gotowi odejść na rzecz tańca i przemijalności?
⚫ but they're ready to leave and make room for dance and contingency?
⚪ przepiękne rzeźby Kamlera
⚫ the figures are really beautiful, Kamler's that is
⚪ w czasie robienia filmu cała pracowania zawalona figurami i makietami
⚫ when the film was being made, his whole workshop was overfilled with figures and elements of the set
⚪ Krystyna Kamler odpowiedzialna za strój marionetki
⚫ Krystyna Kamler made the marionette's costume
⚪ opowiadała, że te rzeźby wzięły się z potrzeby jej męża do robienia rzeczy rękoma
⚫ she told us how she thinks that her husband makes figures because he just need something to do with his hands
⚪ na co on zaprzeczył, że to ma bardziej ideologiczny wymiar (nie nazwał tego tak), tj. reklamy i wszystko komputerowo tworzone w ciągłym ruchu, a animacja ma za sobą stałość, zatrzymanie
⚫ to which he disagreed that there's a more idealogical (he didn't use that word ofc) reason behind his drive, i.e. in opposition to the constant movement of ads and computer made films; where behind animation there is lack of movement, a stop
⚪ rzeźby i animacja, a rysunek; obok projektów zawsze, ale nie częścią "dzieła"
⚫ making figures and stop animation vs drawing; besides his animation projects there were always drawings but as a kind of antithesis, never part of the actual project
⚪ ale robił też animacje komputerowe
⚫ but he also did start doing computer animation
⚪ szczególnie że to pozwalało działać bez większego finansowanie, projekty mniejsze, łatwiejsze do robienia samemu
⚫ especially since this allowed him to work on a tighter budget, without waiting for financing, allowing him to work alone easier
⚪ bo właściwie sam zrobił Chronopolis przez 4-5 lat i jak ktoś z widowni go spytał o inspiracje, to powiedział, że unika inspiracji jak może, że niczego nie oglądał
⚫ because he liked working alone and he made Chronopolis by himself in 4-5 years; when a member of the audience asked him about his inspirations, he said that he avoids all and any inspirations
⚪ co mnie osobiście rozbawiło, bo chwilę potem opowiadał, że kompozytorzy eksperymentalni (Pierre Schaeffer, Iannis Xenakis, Luc Ferrari) pracowali po swojemu i trudno było się z nimi dogadać
⚫ which was funny because he soon said that working with experimental composers (like Pierre Schaeffer, Iannis Xenakis, Luc Ferrari) was difficult because they did their own thing and there wasn't really real cooperation
⚪ mówił, że Luc Ferrari właściwie skomponował ścieżkę do Chronopolis po fakcie, ale że zaproponował coś, co właściwie oddawało wizję Kamlera, przyjął to
⚫ he admitted that Luc Ferrari composed the score after the animation was finished but since he proposed a sth that was in line with Kamler's own idea for the film, he accepted it
⚪ ktoś inny spytał o kwestię narracji przez Michaela Lonsdale'a, na co Kamler powiedział po prostu, że to nie w tym filmie
⚫ someone else asked about the Michael Lonsdale narration thing to which Kamler replied that it was not a thing for this move
[might add more notes later]

How to Make Meeting Minutes an Easy Task.
When you’re preparing to hold a meeting, the first step is to create a plan. This will help you know where everyone stands and what topics to cover. Next, make sure you have all the necessary supplies- including paper and pencils- so that you can record all the important notes. Finally, be sure to follow these steps to take meeting minutes:
1) Choose an effective time for the meeting. Make sure your time slot is available and choose a day that is not too busy or too noisy.
2) Start by stating the purpose of the meeting. This will help others understand why it’s important for them to attend and give them an idea of what they can expect from the discussion.
3) Write down each person’s name and job title, as well as any comments or questions they may have about the meeting.
4) Establish clear deadlines for discussing issues or completing tasks. This will ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of what needs to be done before the meeting ends on a specific date or time frame.
5) Record all discussions and actions taken in Meeting Minutes using digital tools like Blackboard or Google Sheets.
