23. Make the Familiar Unfamiliar

Sometimes, the execution is the idea.

You can make something old feel fresh and new just by treating it differently.

Change the setting.

Rotate the actors.

Play with the scale.

Make the large things small and the small things large.

Go from the outside looking in to the inside looking out.

Speed things up and slow them down.

Switch from a bird’s eye view to an ant’s eye view.

Reprogram the sounds, the voices and the music.

Make the invisible visible.

Swap the colours.

And peek through a different lens.

Keep going until you arrive at something that’s never been done before.
