There is hope in the artistic world
Tonight I went to a screening held by the Art Institute of Portland's Digital Film & Video Production Department of 13 student short films. Now admittedly, I did have a reason to go, and seeing it on a big screen was rather thrilling. Well, actually, not so much "seeing" it but "listening to it with eyes open." It's an entirely different experience when you're involved in the project than coming into something fresh.
None of the films shown were bad. Most of them were quite good. Yes, there were a few moments which were a little clunky, and quite a few times my eyebrows went up as the underscore cue just felt wrong. But there were also quite a few times where the score was absolutely right, and a couple of the shorts were beautiful or terrifying, appropriately so. There is hope for the artistic world after all.
It certainly raises the possibility of collaborating with the Institute in future projects. It would be a great way to pad out the reel.
