This and next week the third edition of the Rutger Hauer Film Factory takes place in Rotterdam. It's a ten day international masterclass in filmmaking, with Rutger Hauer as the main inspiring master. Thirty filmmakers work on several short films and they get lectures from famous people in the filmmaking business.
Last year I was lucky to attend one of the lectures, given by Anton Corbijn. He showed us a lot of old and more recent videoclips he made during the years and shared with us how the ideas for these videos originated.
The thing that most stuck to me though, was Corbijn's plead for imperfection. The idea should be good, no doubt about that, but in the execution one should always strive for imperfection. That's what makes a piece of art, or advertising (or anything at all really) in the end actually closer to perfect.
i disagree.
ReplyDeleteone should always strive for perfection, but set one's goals just a little too high.
