I try not to consider anything precious and to let myself go without demands or limits. Indeed, too narrow a vision often occurs when we set ourselves too rigid a goal. I'm generalizing, but photographers tend to obsess over the work of other photographers, and filmmakers over the work of other filmmakers. When you learn to consume and appreciate other forms of media outside your field, the reservoir of inspiration suddenly expands, with infinite potential.

I'd design a large set filled with drama and chaos, something akin to a performers' battlefield, and let the scene unfold, moving to different locations to capture the fury of human beings in motion. Or I'd simply walk in or around explosions of environmental particles frozen in time and space.
