This whole video is beautiful. He sees it clearly, with eyes unclouded, without any further context necessary. His first impulse is to tell them a story about a real human being's pain. Some people see a grump, I see grace & a master of his craft speaking truth without flinching

Alright, we’ve got to get this straight because people seem confused-
if you’re 1-17 you’re Gen Z
If you’re 17-30 you’re Millenials

Their faces say “take my lore seriously, child”, but their hairdos say “I was originally drawn on the office whiteboard at 11pm mid-crunch to make the design team giggle”
The difference between “they’re so much better than me” and “they are climbing a fundamentally different ladder than I am” is such an important distinction to learn

Who me? Yeah I’m a freakin GOD as it turns out. Shyeah I’m all about that axe life. That handsome devil next to me? Fam, that’s literally my BOY. He can thank me for his good looks AND formative trauma. It’s not easy fighting heCkin VIKINGS. But Honestly? Being a parent ragnaroxx
somewhere, probably in Vancouver, a miserable team labors miserably for miserable bosses who will at best throw them a pizza party to boost morale as they all try not to think of the “hot dog buns breasts should be bigger” email they received from the client

Digital artist: I’m not good at watercolor, it’s so hard! You’re amazing
Aging Painter: Yes, it is hard and takes years of impressive mastery. You’re right to admire me.
Also Aging Painter: I’m not good at computers.

AP: If I cared to try, it would be easy.
art job is: work harder than you ever have on best thing you've ever made and then one dude is like "sick thanks!" and then nobody sees it and then the project is cancelled and you're never allowed to show it
This is so carefully written and thoughtfully phrased and I mean zero disrespect to the OP, but this well-meaning advice to make art specifically to court the algorithm makes me so, so sad to see

If you don’t believe in your movie enough to actually *make* the art, why on earth would I pay to see it? Jingling meaningless visual keys in our faces is not filmmaking.
Saw an ai thing specifically “designed” to produce things in “Nicholas Kole style” and I am trying not to spiral existentially but it feels like my brain is losing grip on the surface of the earth and I’m floating off into disassociation
When you’re playing a game and something a character says makes you laugh- you’re responding to the lived experience, craft and sense of humor of a human writer.
When you’re noticing the open world feels enticing, quests engaging, content rich- that’s because of human designers.
