I still don't think I'm getting through to you, I am trying to label you and I'll stop and just hit these issues one by 1...
1.
To be a succesful designer you must evolve and never be stagnant
- fair enough, no problem with that, but how does picking on young people for trying to design help you to evolve?
2. Titles
- Consumers have access to the same technology that only 'professionals' once did. That was the only thing that seperated them from non-directors. I continually get the impression that amatuers are being denied their proper titles simply because they aren't part of culture which is primarily based on economics, a director as described at dicitionary.com:
A person who supervises the creative aspects of a dramatic production or film and instructs the actors and crew.
That sounds just like what you did when you told your parents where to stand in front of niagra falls. Just because its a small project doesn't make it any less important in my opinion.
3. Maestro
- Back to dictionary.com:
A master in an art, especially a composer, conductor, or music teacher.
If you ar a master in an art then you can call yourself maestro, why not? (insert rnating personal shit here:) oh thats right, you can't because you aren't a master because you have to resort to attacking an invisible and absent people behind their back as some way of justifying your own fears of failure. If you want to blame the kids because you don;t get anywork then do so, but don't expect the kids to stop taking the work. If you are so much better than them then prove it to their clients, i'm sure they will be most gracious to fire their ass and take you on because you're worth it.. aren't you?
