the "Grail Diary" featured in the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Film is really inspiring to my project.
"The plot, in this the last in the original trilogy of Indiana Jones films, centres on the search for the Holy Grail, the most sought after Christian relic. Dr. Henry Jones, Indiana’s father, has devoted his life to seeking out the relic and his diary is central to the plot. The diary contains intricate drawings, notes, data, maps and descriptions of obstacles that will bar the seekers way, the culmination of years research, which are clues to the where abouts of the the Holy Grail, which is hidden in a lost temple, Indiana is drawn into the search when his father mysteriously disappears and all he has to go on is his father’s ‘Grail diary’.
I looked at the book " Cabinet of Curiousities; My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obssessions"
by Guillermo del Toro.
Guillermo del Toro is a film director, screenwriter, producer, and novelist.
I found his notebooks to be very influencial to my journey project. the way he sketches his 'characters' on the page and writes notes all around them is something i find aesthetically pleasing and interesting as the sketches interact with the writing and become one entity that makes up the page.
