WOII - Week 12: Art Ecosystems

An art ecosystem holds significant importance for various reasons, including cultural enrichment, community engagement, economic support, and beyond. Nevertheless, I believe that networking stands out as the most vital aspect within an art ecosystem.

Networking is indispensable in the design ecosystem as it enables collaboration, fosters innovation, and opens doors for growth and advancement within the industry.

For example, Paula Scher's ability to effectively network and leverage her connections played a pivotal role in propelling her design career to new heights, highlighting the importance of building relationships and seizing opportunities within the industry.

As I navigated through the various levels during Open Studios, I found myself particularly impressed by the final year students enrolled in the BA program. This experience underscored the importance of networking, as these students not only aimed to attract potential investors for their business concepts but also sought to engage potential customers or collaborators to realise their ideas.

Earlier this week, I had a conversation with a friend from Ngee Ann Polytechnic who graduated in Mass Communications. She shared her endeavor of establishing a creative agency and reaching out to our former peers to join her. This reiterated the significance of our community and networking in my mind once more.

Networking is vital in the design and art world, driving career advancement and fostering creativity. By connecting with peers, mentors, and industry leaders, artists and designers gain access to collaborative projects, exhibitions, and funding. Beyond visibility, networking enables the exchange of ideas and resources, nurturing a dynamic environment for innovation. Through networking, individuals cultivate a supportive community, receiving valuable feedback and guidance that propels their artistic or design career (Cole, 2024).

Deciphering Your Video Venture: Selecting the Ideal Partner

Venturing into the video marketing arena can be thrilling, yet daunting. It's akin to crafting a cinematic masterpiece – you have the script, the vision, but bringing it to life requires collaborators with distinct expertise. This is where creative agencies and video production companies enter the spotlight, offering complementary skills to make your video dreams a reality. Let's delve deeper into their roles and guide you towards finding your perfect match.

Creative Agencies: The Architects of Storytelling

Imagine these masterminds as the scriptwriters and directors of your video. They excel at capturing your brand's essence and translating it into compelling narratives. Think of them as architects meticulously designing the emotional journey your audience will embark on. Their skill lies in crafting engaging scripts, incorporating humor, drama, or any other tone that aligns with your vision. They understand the power of storytelling to connect with viewers on a deeper level, fostering brand loyalty and driving conversions.

Video Production Companies: The Visual Virtuosos

Now, visualize these experts as the cinematographers and editors who bring your script to life. They possess the technical prowess and artistic flair to transform words into captivating visuals. Imagine them wielding their cameras like paintbrushes, painting each frame with stunning imagery and meticulous attention to detail. Their expertise lies in utilizing cutting-edge equipment and editing techniques to refine raw footage into a polished masterpiece. From lighting and set design to color grading and special effects, they ensure every visual element seamlessly integrates with your narrative, leaving a lasting impression on your audience.

Choosing Your Partner: Aligning Vision with Expertise

The key to selecting the right partner lies in understanding your project's specific needs and goals. Consider the following:

Brand-Centric Storytelling: If your primary focus is crafting a strategic narrative that aligns seamlessly with your brand identity and resonates with your target audience, a creative agency is your ideal choice. They excel at understanding your brand's story and weaving it into impactful video content.

Exceptional Visual Execution: Do you prioritize stunning visuals, high-quality production, and technical finesse? Partnering with a video production company will ensure your video boasts exceptional aesthetics and leverages industry-leading tools and techniques.

The Power of Collaboration: Seeking a project that demands both strategic planning and flawless execution? Consider a collaborative approach. Partnering with both a creative agency and a video production company can unlock the full potential of your video, combining storytelling expertise with technical mastery.

Synergy: Where Magic Happens

Remember, the most impactful videos often emerge from the collaborative efforts of these two entities. When creative agencies and video production companies work in tandem, open communication and mutual respect are paramount. Imagine the scriptwriters and directors collaborating with the cinematographers and editors, each feeding off the other's ideas to refine the visual storytelling. This synergy, evident in iconic campaigns like Dollar Shave Club's viral launch or Dove's powerful social experiments, unlocks creative potential and elevates your video to new heights.

Beyond the Final Scene: A Journey of Growth

As your video project wraps up, remember that this is just the beginning of your video marketing journey. By understanding the complementary roles of creative agencies and video production companies, you gain the power to navigate this dynamic landscape with confidence. Whether you choose one or embrace the magic of collaboration, remember that the perfect partner awaits to bring your vision to life and help you tell your brand story in the most captivating way possible. So, embark on your video adventure with enthusiasm, knowing that you have the tools and knowledge to make it a resounding success.

I'm very grateful to George Rextrew for stating multiple times in interviews that gay characters are quickly over-sexualized, and he keeps bringing the focus back to the tender romance, youthful crush, and deep friendship between men. He's really trying to help expand the narrative of male relationships in how he presents Edwin on stage and in the press.

Jayden Revri and Steve Yockey have echoed and supported this spirit. I point to George here just because he receives the brunt of the gay rep questions right now.

Also, as ever, much love to Neil Gaiman for showcasing gay and trans characters across his many works because, as he said, he has gay and trans friends that he wasn't seeing represented in media of the time.

Character Agency

Your characters should have agency. That means they have the power to influence what’s happening around them. We talked a bit about agency last time, revolving around how many female characters get agency stripped away from them. But overall, agency is important for any character to make them active participants in their own stories and feel necessary to the plot.

              So here’s how you enable your characters agency:

1. They make active decisions

Okay this is the obvious one in theory, but still manages to sneak by in stories undetected. An active character with agency makes things happen through their decisions, instead of just their reactions. Take these two examples of a scene plan:

John is walking home when he is caught by a sudden storm. Looking to hide from the rain, he ducks under the cover of a bus shelter. Inside is Mya, and they strike up a conversation about their shared sucky situation.

Vs.

John is walking home when he is caught by a sudden storm. Luckily he brought an umbrella in his bag, and draws it out. Then, he sees Mya getting drenched by the rain ahead of him. He jogs to her, offering to share the umbrella. They strike up a conversation.

In the second example John isn’t just reacting but making a choice that’s changed something in the world. He may just happen to run into Mya, but it was his decision to run up to her, to offer her his umbrella. This action is a great indicator of his personality—he’s kind, trusting, and thoughtful even towards strangers.

That’s the most important part. A character who just reacts to everything doesn’t show off any personality, whereas action lets you demonstrate who your character is at their core (especially in difficult situations that call for difficult decisions).

2. Their actions have consequences

Similarly, the decisions your active character makes aren’t really decisions if they don’t impact any part of their world. For good or for bad, every decision your character makes should have a consequence. This could be shown through their relationships with others, their environment, or even their own mental, physical, or spiritual state.

If we’re going from the example above, John sharing his umbrella with Mya maybe starts their friendship, but her jealous, toxic boyfriend sees them through his window, making her and now his life difficult.

It’s a decision that has multiple consequences throughout his life—a new friendship, and also a new enemy. And Mya is also facing consequences—from her decision to walk with him, and his decision to offer her the umbrella.

Make sense? How do you ensure your character has agency?

Which of the ROs can do mouth to mouth resuscitation?

A and N know first aid and things.

Most agents are given a basic training in it for humans and supernaturals, but it's if they care or remember that makes a difference, lol! :D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

who was I before dbda came into my life

this show has resonated with me so so much, I've never felt so seen by a show, by its characters.

Like, it's not perfect or anything but this is the exact reason why it's so perfect for me. For us

Because it's honest and genuine and heartwarming and moving

This show made me believe in art again, and that maybe, just maybe, what I'm writing and my ideas might be worth exploring.

That they can be worth the work and struggles and doubts.

The cancellation hit hard for me in terms of whether sincere works of art and original ideas even have a place in this world anymore.

But you know what? Screw that. Netflix and all those other streaming services have already taken so much from us - all the discarded concepts, all the shows that were cancelled too soon or shows that suffered from too little time to develop, rushed decisions and cuts.

Don't let them take our inspiration and love for art from us as well

Do well by your female characters

              Back in film school you wouldn't believe the amount of scripts I read from my (mostly male) classmates that featured the same character; a kind, helpful woman reflective of the male protagonist who showed up when he needed her to offer warm words and support, allowing him to overcome obstacles and go for what he needs.

              I hope she doesn’t sound familiar to you.

              One of them was a coworker, another a train station attendant, another the best friend who lived next door—it didn’t matter, they were all the same character, uninvolved in their own lives, created to help a man get to his goal. Let’s be wary of this trope, and stop robbing our female characters of their own agency. We can do this in a few ways:

1. They aren’t convenient

One confusing fault of the female characters I read in my peers’ scripts was that she was always around right where the protagonist needed her to be. It didn’t matter if he was having a crisis in the alleyway, or by the museum, or in his own house, she’d show up like she’d been summoned.

She needed a place to be—a life outside of him. A job, school, hobbies. Sometimes when he needs her—she shouldn’t be there.

2. They have an actual personality

While being warm, kind, supportive, and empathetic are all admirable traits people do have, I’ve never met a real person where that’s all they were. Like building any character, she needs flaws, interests, something to her that isn’t just for other people’s benefit. Consider what traits she has that aren’t just ways she serves others.

Allow her something just for her. Something selfish.

3. They have and work towards a goal

Related to her not being convenient—she’s got her own thing going on. Like any other character, she has goals and objectives, motivations, something to work towards. As much as she supports the protagonist, she also takes from him to fulfill her own goal.

Give her wins, disappointments, a little something going on. Something to gain from her interactions with him.

              What else bothers you about common female character tropes? Or what did I miss?
