Positives From Roughness

Well Im having some trouble remembering exactly which reading I did for each class. I have three classes in Leutze 107 and two are very similar perhaps because they are taught by a couple. Anyway, the reading from last class, If i can try to remember, was about how some of the purest art is appearing in the most unlikely of places. Where its not encouraged or commonplace. Also about the roughness of low budget film.

Money in many cases, not just in art, can potentially be the fatal or ruining device for a person or piece of art. When money becomes the motive of things, the creativity is lost and the motions become routine; a routine to make money. this is sort of how i see many Hollywood studios. Like article said, there are fantastic films being made all around without using a million dollars to make and they're not being shown in the huge theatres. Instead they are being made on minimalist budgets and by people who we don't expect to make great films, not the elite of Hollywood. this model is also seen in sports often as well. A wonderful player gets signed to a big team and gets a huge salary, but his performance goes down and armatures playing for their love of the game become better than the pro.

However, the other way around, having a large budget can also encourage creativity by allowing the artist to complete the visions he or she has without worrying about money.
