When I think of why live shows are fun and exciting, it's because of the collective experience. With some shows, I'm wanna say the performance comes close to a collaboration between the artist and the audience - when the artist is feeding off the vibes from the crowd, and the crowd is jamming out, dancing, and feeding off of each other's vibes. Ya know, there's a current, a living beat, everyone is actively engaged in the performance.
How would you do something like that with film? Watching theater or film, you are going to see and hear a story being told. It can be a fun and exciting experience too, but there isn't anything collective, really (is there?). I mean, no matter what you do or how you feel, the story has already been told the way it was intended by the director, even in theater, the performance isn't going to change or react to the vibes of the audience. Whereas, with music, yeah the music has been written, but the way it is played can always change, it's never the same twice.
Perhaps dinner theaters come closest, though. My sister went to one and came back with this hilarious story of how one actor came to her at her table and, still being in character, was getting her involved in whatever it was (I have an awful memory). Improv theater, maybe? But the film industry….hm…….

life inspiring!
cheers from brazil!
see ya
Thanks so much for the film :)
y o u !!!
Hopefully-
1) The "Hollywood mentality" of doing
things is out the window.
2) Technology has evolved and will
continue to evolve so the playing field is now
Evened out.
3) True talent will rise to the top but
we Must support the Arts
and true Artists to avoid the
"White Noise" of mediocrity.
Fantastic Doc!!
Great Doc!

and probably a lot of "true talented" guys give up before they rise to the top

If this is honestly what you believe, then the question should not be asked. Art will forever be opinionated and until one is enlightened or given the chance to blossom as an artist, one cannot pre-judge! That is hypocritical, what about those that want to achieve with no direction, but they relentlessly don't give up! I AM THAT PERSON!
artist to embrace or challenge a status quo.Lastly, keep striving and continue to break boundaries.
well let me tell you, art is nothing you can just study, either you are an artist or not ... you should probably get another job, if you dont like competition hehe
Beautifully shot and genuinely inspiring. And I'll be forever grateful for introducing me to Ólafur Arnalds. :)
The fact is, internet and technology these days "empower people" to think they are artist or that artist are merely people with high tech tools and... that with technology being cheaper, magically everybody, even the mostly lazy and mediocre people can "create".
u think u or enybody else is better ...... show us!!!
I liked the film, really well made, but it didn't tell me anything I didn't learn 5 years ago. I had hoped for some critical thinking about the loss of real personal creativity, artists not inspired by the internet.
The content was Interesting especially when one, like me, was born into the boom of internet age.
Now: "Oy, it's really late now. But I couldn't not watch it right then and there."
Bravo! Even if it made me stay up far too late. :)
It's obvious that for all the industry connected individuals this change is something dramatic and they are loosing their ground, but once they start to think in the wider perspective they can't deny that what's going on here is something important and inevitable. For all the skeptics saying that this change is in fact a regress i must say that they are wrong.. and right.
Fact that there is so much various in quality data available online is only imprinting on the viewers necessity to be decisive of what they are listening/viewing/linking, instead of just nodding the head in approval of what's the industry is giving them, the basic skill we almost lost while being bombarded by the media. On the other hand the quality of that data decreases - so you might have feeling that we are regressing, up to a point where the badly constructed toy is being disassembled to basic pieces and being under construction in a complete different way, so finally it works much better, but that obviously takes time.
Everything has it's flaws and if you change something you will fail lot's before doing it correctly, but let's face it, industry such as Hollywood has nothing more valuable to say (and did it ever had really?) so it's time to move on.
Well done.
On donations - guys, you should get on Flattr too, the user base is right up your alley ie. very remix, mashup, indipendent friendly group.
