2018-04-10T23:47:39+00:00April 9th, 2018|Tags: , , , |

This feels like a small start to a significant idea. Vadik thinks long-term. He once had the following Codes Of Practise list from his previous business on his personal website, preserved by the sainted Wayback Machine:

  1. Wear the uniform
  2. Think long term (like 30 years from now)
  3. Build stories and languages, not things
  4. Create your own universe (or join ours)
  5. Collect samples
  6. Be a sample for somebody else
  7. Look for loyalty, not for a skill set
  8. Do not build utilitarian products. However, use them as a medium to express yourself
  9. Do not exploit introverts — doesn’t work long term. Learn to be an introvert yourself

There is much more that goes into making a good story artist but these are just some of my personal suggestions to start.

First, I always like to suggest some reading material. Here are  few books that really helped me wrap my head around a few ideas:

  5. On Filmmaking– Alexander Mackendrick

Steven Soderbergh’s Completely Useless Wrap Statistics For ‘The Knick’ Season 2

The tales of Steven Soderbergh‘s efficiency are legion, but you might make the mistake in thinking he takes an industrial view of filmmaking. Instead, his approach is a product of his years in the game, a process to get the best results without any wasted time or resources, and a method that keeps things interesting for the ensemble of actors he works.
