I like the technique of interviewing on the go. It blends imagery with verbal information about process, eliminating the static talking face. Yet we still hear some verbal description directly from the mouth of the artist. It also provides relief from "in the workshop" shots by taking us outside where the shots open up wider and we see his full body in motion.

The more standard interview shots let us identify and connect with the source of narration. In his description of being inspired on a rafting trip he is "inside" the action, paddling the canoe. I seek out 3-D gestures like this where he seems to envision himself inside the canoe, paddling. As an educator, I am interested in moments of "embodiment" where students step through the frame of subjectivity, projecting themselves into the action of a process under study. I interpret embodiment as a signal that a student has mentally joined the process and is experiencing it 3-D in their imagination from the inside.
