After watching my first World Series in 1977, I wanted to be Reggie Jackson. I bought a big Reggie poster. I ate Reggie candy bars. I entered a phase during which I insisted on having the same style of glasses Reggie had: gold wire frames with the double bar across.
Get into the habit of imagining an alternate scenario. By posing such 'imagine if' questions... we can distance ourselves from the frames, cues, anchors and rhetoric that might be affecting us.
I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.
100 years ago, movies were black-and-white, silent, and 16 frames a second. So 100 years from now, what are they going to be?

Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.

Bridges become frames for looking at the world around us.
If you do two versions of a film, they should be identical. With the same frames and settings.
