Weird to the bone, Lynch’s films might not be everybody’s\u00a0cup of tea. However, after watching one you wonder about what his ideas represent, where they came from and how they were formed.<\/p>\n
As part of\u00a0The Atlantic<\/a>‘<\/strong>s <\/em>online animated series<\/a>, the American magazine turns Lynch’s perspective on the origin of great ideas into an elegant animation – inspired by an interview with the director back in 2008. The short helps us visualise how he sees ideas as small fragments of a whole \u2013\u00a0”like fishes that we need to catch”<\/em>. Hidden in the most unexpected places, we can ‘fish’ for them through travelling, daydreaming or by simply going out for a walk.<\/p>\n Lynch also explains that in a way there are no original ideas but sporadic ones which\u00a0we cut and ‘edit’ into a much bigger thing, which slowly forms into the bigger idea.\u00a0The Twin Peaks<\/em>\u00a0director expands more on his standpoint\u00a0in an another interview with Paul\u00a0Holdengr\u00e4ber<\/a><\/strong>, shot in NY two years ago.
