Talk - Choices
Sat - 11:15 - room1How do you go from editing a no-budget music video for a less talented Austrian local country music band to reading your name in the credits roll of a STAR WARS show? Well, it all comes down to making certain personal and artistic choices.
David talks about developing your own good taste, about the haptics of digital images, about hearing a picture, about sweet and utterly talented nerds, about the challenges of being a non-technical artist in a technology driven industry and not being afraid to uncompromisingly following a childhood dream. … Also the „correct“ shape of clouds might be a topic.
How high are the stakes, what are the odds and, „Are there any good or bad choices after all?”
