I find this notion of creating the media that you wish to see manifest in the world to be a good one. What I find most amazing about making videos and photos is that I find joy both producing and consuming them. When I look back at the old videos and photos I’ve made from this year during my travels, or my mundane experiences, I find them to uplift my spirits!
The future of media
POV videos are very immersive, and also potentially will be most interesting to consume in the future. Considering the advent of virtual reality, and the new ways in which people will consume media going forward, maybe a POV experience will be desirable.
Human VS Computer
I’ve been thinking a lot about human generated media versus computer generated media. It already is starting to become difficult to determine what has been created by a human or what has been created by artificial intelligence. This is why I find sharing our authentic human experience through media production to be an interesting solution.
Why does this matter?
It seems that we seek some sort of authenticity or truth from the world. Most popular news outlets create highly produced media that is scripted and often feels fake. The same goes for 99% of people on YouTube. The idea is to create things that computers cannot. If I can create my own newscaster, or YouTuber, using artificial intelligence and feed it a script to review the latest celebrity gossip or talk about their favorite cameras, then maybe we should make something new and innovative that machines cannot.
Share the raw human experience!
