Drawing as Thought: Ideation in Narrative Film Design

This paper discusses drawing and interior dwelling as enstasic methodological practices that reach potentials beyond those available to thinking prescribed by the written word.  In discussing the means by which the short film Munted (Ings 2011) was drawn into being, it suggests that drawn approaches to the design of filmic narratives might enable the designer to reach in unique ways, into ideation and outwards into the communicative content and appearance of the text.
