This is what research builds in you when you commit to it seriously. It develops a subconscious visual language like a set of instincts, references, and connections that are genuinely yours. On set, this shows up in the decisions that happen quickly: the frame you move to instinctively, the object you reach for, the casting quality you recognise... See more
Your Research Practice Is Your Creative Identity
As information volume and complexity grew, simply keeping pace became a specialized profession. In other words, information specialists who do nothing but track developments in more and more narrow domains emerge.
Michael Simmons • Information Singularity: What Happens When Even AI Experts Can't Keep Up With AI
