Debt To Craft Pictures - December Twenty-Ninth (13/365)

I would hate to forget a day like this.

12/365: Christmas Lunch Mashup in my hometown.

Note how everything has a spoon.

This hails from the series “Made by Hand.” Joel Bukiewicz, a writer who turned to knife making, speaks honestly about the creative process and his passion to make. He has a ton of great quotes in here… which will be posted directly under this in the italicized way.

“Mastering the basics takes, they say, 10,000 hours, that’s like 5 years at 40 hour weeks, I’d say it’s probably more like 15,000 hours. So it takes a lot of work to get there and when you get there that’s day one. Then you can start and you can make something you can maybe call art.”

“This is how I learned, so those things are the same with writing and knife making. It just takes buckets of blood and sweat and fucking work to get there. That’s it. To get good — to get competent and then once you become competent maybe you have it in you to become an artist. Maybe you don’t.”

Really worth the watch.

Fantastic spot.

Many clients don’t understand that you can’t just order up a viral video, as if posting a commercial on YouTube guarantees it’ll get watched. There has to be a commitment to making entertainment value the priority.

Explosions in the Sky releases its first official music video - “Last Known Surroundings”

This is exactly what my insides feel like when I listen to their music.

I thought this would be a lot like having my imagination punctured and deflated into a sad predetermined image of what they wanted me to see, like seeing a movie of your favorite book and being sort of kind of mostly disappointed

But it’s not!
