The thing about rigging is, you can learn it if you become a master rigger but there's no book on rigging.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I needed more knowledge in rigging and knotting. I started collecting books on knots and really learning more and more. That's how it started. And also in magic, of course. With a piece of rope, you can do magic.
I want to learn. I want to stretch my muscles as a director and work under different circumstances.
Practice is the best of all instructors.
You learn more doing than doing training.
You learn a lot about yourself doing physical work.
You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.
It felt like the first thing, but when I first started out, I got a job adapting a book by Russell Banks called 'Rule Of The Bone.' I didn't do a very good job. I didn't really know what I was doing in general, let alone how to adapt a book.
Like they say, you can learn more from a guide in one day than you can in three months fishing alone.
I don't like books that seem to want to teach me things. Which is not to say that one doesn't learn from books - but you do your own learning in your own way.
It's very easy to learn. And very difficult to master.
