– Starting Point

Three days voluntarily sat in an office, probably isn’t most people’s idea of fun; but I had a remarkably good time considering. There were, admittedly, periods where not much happened, and I did drink a lot of coffee, but it’s all part of getting into character, or so I told myself. My observations left me with pages upon pages of in-depth detail about the slightest of movements. This desire for the minutia was driven by wanting to be able to recreate (albeit perhaps in an exaggerated form) these actions. My concern was that in asking someone to perform a simple task like moving a sheet of paper from one side of the desk to another, the qualities of the original unconscious act may be lost: Would we think to swoop it through the air in the fashion I had just witnessed?
