A Cinematic Journey Through a Six-Year-Old's Imagination

Posted by on Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 12:55 PM

Last week, Paul posted about the world's first visual recording of a thought being formed—it was the thought of a zebrafish.

Today, I post a visual recording of a six-year-old boy's imagination as he tries to think up a movie. Young filmmaker Bianca Giaever—who used to be in the Teen Tix program—asked the boy what to make a movie about, and then went out and made it, image for image and word for word.

It's sweet—almost too sweet!—but if you need a quick mental-health break, this is the ticket. (Spoiler alert: It has a happy ending.)

Thanks for posting this! I know Asa Baker-Rouse (I went to college with his parents). You use the feminine gender pronoun in this article, but I can assure you that Asa is a boy! He's a great kid with a fantastic imagination! Another win for lesbian parenting!

My 6-yr-old is available for scripting something like this, but we'd need to license either Hey Ho or Thrift Shop.

What is this salty discharge leaking from my eyes?
