Not For the Money or the Fame
AKA Why the news/talk/variety genres of television actually matter.
AKA what bothers me about pretentious film douchebags and why I’m not an artist.
I recently switched into a class called “Creative Principles and Practices” to finish my marketing minor. It’s interesting, because the whole reason I switched into this class was because I didn’t think I had the time to be creative. We were asked to write blog posts about anything that inspired us, and to the surprise of no-one, I find myself inspired by television**. I was originally in a directing class and there was something about the whole class just bugged me. All I wanted to do was learn more about basic framing and shot selection and everyone else was so concentrated on being an artist, something for which I had very little patience. It’s ironic in the least ironic way that I instead ended up in a class that is concentrated on just that, making us all artists.
A seriously incredible article written by a good friend of mine. Read it. It literally speaks BOUNDS about why I love television and the people who love it.
