Is That Your Style or Are You In a Rut? Episode 52

Summary: Style? Or a Rut? Style - it's a word we use on a regular basis to describe our artistry. hell, even in our previous shows we've talked about how important it is to have a definitive style in photography. But, can that style become a crutch for never evolving? Can we get stuck in our own artistic rut and happily… ignorantly continue on while thinking we're just maintaining our "style"? That's the topic for this episode and even the three of us have a hard time figuring  it out. And do we even answer the two critical questions: how do we identify when we're stuck and how do we power through it? Whatever. How about you, our intelligent and sober (presumably) listeners weigh in and tell us what you think! Tonight's Artists Taking a good look at a young Canadian director and film maker (who just happens to be related to one of the co-hosts), Miles Jay. Specifically, we're highlighting a short film he directed called Hollywood and Vines. It's short (4:30) and constructed entirely with clips from Vine. Pretty awesome and, for those of you who think social media is a passing fad and its impact on visual arts is unimpressive, guess again. Watch the video below. As for our "other medium" artist? Tony chose (so you know it's gonna be fucked up) Rockstar Games. Who? The gaming geniuses behind Grand Theft Auto 5. Seriously, it's a pretty amazing game! Check out this review.
