EP12 - Perfectionism is Boring with Dale Hayward
Stop Motion Director and co-founder of See Creature and See Learn, Dale Hayward, joins this discussion about why imperfect things are more interesting.
We touched on the pressure for artists to be perfect and how this can hinder creativity and risk-taking, and discussed the balance between artistic ideals and the realities of production.
Dale also clarifies that not striving for perfection doesn't mean aiming for "good enough," but rather being realistic about the scope of a project and prioritizing the message or story, and underscores the importance of forward momentum and continuing to create, rather than getting stuck trying to achieve a single perfect piece.
When we recorded this episode, the AI Coca-Cola Christmas commercial had just come out. It makes you stop and think about how fast AI is making its way into our workplace...
