First question from this course: italics why am I a maker? italics
Good question. Where did I find the ego to say: I’m going to make stuff that will make other people happy too? Well, happily for me there’re so many human beings on this planet, that there’ll always be someone who will kind of like it (like my mom).
But seriously: I believe that if you’re a, in my case filmmaker (or designer, or artist), you have a leading role – you show an example for other people how to live. Kind of. In the case that I would never let anyone smoke in my film for example, or never curse with harsh diseases or anything in that kind. You’re giving an example of how to be good. But, like I said: kind of. I hope that I will make my little world better some day, by giving my definition of good to other people. I believe that that’s the reason that I chose for going to an art school, instead of going to study something like economics (in which I would suck, probably). But if I will never change anything, that’s okay too – as long as I believed in that what I did, was the right thing. Like being vegetarian or doing voluntary work: making single little changes.
But am I really a maker? I don’t think so, jet. I grab a digital camera, I look at the script I wrote and start shooting. It’s not really a craft I’m making except for the writing; I don’t even know, if I have to be honest, how a camera exactly works. Than what am I doing with the latest model of a digital SLR camera? Crafting as filmmaker: what do I know from the technical aspects? I am reproducing others films and my own films, all through Internet, all digital. How does it work non-digital, analogue?
By this, I’m happy with our subject: drawing & printing, reproduction. As a filmmaker you are reproducing all the time. How to do that from scratch.
