Shine On You Crazy Diamond Intro

ACrazy Diamond (Part 1) is about song writing. In his car, Lavarocky, the director, interviews John (wordman) during visits to CAMH where both men are out patients. This is what we see. What's missing is how it all started 16 months ago, when Lava met John and introduced him to the music of Pink Floyd's late singer-songwriter, Syd Barrett.
Inspired to write a Floyd song, John toils at his new craft ten hours a day, five days a week, two hundred hours of listening time a month, plus two CD players. Is he any closer? And did Syd really have schizophrenia?

The best thing about this video was the editing. Way to go, filmFlicka!

Sorry, but that's not correct. Some individuals MAY be born with a predisposition towards developing schizophrenia, but that does not mean that they WILL become schizophrenic. Schizophrenia occurs as a result of the complex interplay between genes and environmental factors.

That is a pretty cool concept he came up with.

Hi Littlewingheyoka. I have been asked by Lavarius to introduce myself as you wanted to know who the music was by.

My name is Taufeeq, and Lavarius and I go back a long way as I was the guitarist in his band.

Thanks for the compliment, I am very glad you enjoyed it...

I'm still looking for a solution to my madness, Engaging video... Had me with you till the end. Peace Brother...

[Littlewingheyoka]

Your film is exquisite. The only flaw that seems to stand out to me

 is that your subject John seems very autistic and not schizophrenic... he maybe misdiagnosed.. Beautiful music in the backround,,, wish I knew who it was..

[sysyphus31]

its also pretty dificult to tell if a person who is not an adult yet has schizophrenia because they are going through constant psychological changes

[sysyphus31]

you still have it the whole time before you are diagnosed

Way to go, lavarocky!
