Defeating Rigid Habits to Spark Creativity

Defeating Rigid Habits to Spark Creativity | Arts Independent | Scoop.it
"The Creative Act: The defeat of habit by originality overcomes everything" George Lois

We need to look in the places we normally don’t look because it is there that we find fresh creative ideas
“Creativity is the ability to connect the seemingly unconnected” William Plommer

Looking in unlikely places provides opportunities for Serendipity: chance events that become beneficial and useful
If we want to “think different” then we need to shake up stiff mental habits that keep us locked in the status quo
“The danger of habits is that a person can become a prisoner of familiarity.” Roger Von Oech

Kshitija's curator insight, December 28, 2012 7:21 AM

Thought that movies can be made only with fancy video software? Think again! This video here shows how you can make short movies using only graphics, clipart, animations and other PowerPoint elements. 


The video focusses on digital storybooks, but this technique is quite useful to make short movies even for a business presentation. You could even pick up an animated PowerPoint presentation tool and use that as the basis of for your short 'animated' movie. Something like this doesn't take too much of your time and adding a story/movie to your presentation will add more appeal and pizzazz to your slides!

The iPad mini is a "good enough" production platform for many applications. Its rear-facing camera can take 5-megapixel photos and 1080p video recordings. It's not half bad at shooting video and taking pictures. It could serve students well as a shooting, editing and even a distribution device.

Niche Film Industry Locales: A Growing Trend Fueled by Tax Dollars

Niche Film Industry Locales: A Growing Trend Fueled by Tax Dollars | Arts Independent | Scoop.it

Many states rely at least in part on television, movie and commercial productions to help support their local economies. Besides increasing visibility and boosting tourism, these operations positively impact catering businesses, restaurants, hotels, equipment rentals and more. They also provide paying jobs for local residents, who are often hired to do important grunt work or provide specialty services.
When states are able to attract filmmakers, community residents reap the benefits.
