Thank you for allowing me to read this.

I also realized in all the re-watching that every single thing, every light element, every costume, every gesture and word was designed to convey meaning.

For me it was the set design and set dressings. Serenity was a real space and they lovingly and cleverly filled it so that it lived and breathed along with the characters who inhabited it. I don't know if you ever read the LJ of inalasahl, but she's been posting screen caps of the DVDs, and I'm in love with her choices. She's been tending to show the backgrounds of things, so that you get to see the corners of Mal's quarters or the galley or Inara's shuttle. I'm overcome with delight at the detail I find there.

Either that or he's an extreme control freak.

Heh - from what I hear, this is the correct answer.

My way of thinking was that art (my art specifically) was at the same time a public and private thing. Public because it was meant to be shared. And private because what came out of me while working was not something I'd share with folks. ( ... )

My way of thinking was that art (my art specifically) was at the same time a public and private thing.

And of course I just went ahead up there and made the particular into the general. My little treatise on art and its reception was meant in general, not as it applied to you and your art.

I can be such a boob :)
