Im thinkin here, am I am artist or a Techno Nerd / Computer Geek ? Is a filmmaker both or do you have your specialty ?
I was a watchin a documentary on Mr David Lynch and he seemed so much more an Artist than a Techno Nerd / Computer Geek type....I saw where an assistant was telling him about some simple settings on a camera. I also watched a video where Walter Murch complained about some issues w/ FCP X when it first came out and he said " I cannot use it "... Walter went on to say that he felt stuck since they closed the older version of FCP when they released X.
Do we need to focus so much on the technology or the art ? what is going to get our message across ? I fully understand that i have to have basic knowledge of the tools in order to create. Im thinking I shall have more fun being truly creative and focus on the art and the expression and shall try and advance what I want to do more artistically and let others focus more on the technology.
I understand that in order to get a decent picture, you must shoot at 18,000,000K 3D at a bit rate of 345,000,000,0000,000,0000 megabits to make anything useful nowdays but, Im thinking I need to focus on getting the basics down and get help where I need it and use my bizarre imagination and creativity to make my visions come to life.
What is more important for you ? Art or Tech ?
