Creative Fuel
May 29th, 2006 by Doug
Over the last few weeks I have been involved with several big projects that have given me some creative fuel. I was able to work on the production of a 35mm film, helped with a film festival and attended a Creativity Summit.
At the Creativity Summit, we talked about how everyone was born with a creative instinct. God is the ultimate “creative”. Genesis 1 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (NIV). The word “created” is used 10 times just in Genesis (NIV). However there are many more words and a reference used to express how creative God is. He has created us, so I believe God desires us to be “creative”.
There is an interesting short film that was produced in 1970 by Saul Bass for Kaiser Aluminum. It is called Why Man Creates. Saul Bass is the artistic director behind the classic title sequences for the James Bond films. In this very creative 25 minute short film Saul gives compelling information about the creative process of man over the years. The film is old, but still relevant to today.
