Why at first, you should buy a “test” DSLR?

de

It seems counter-intuitive: Why buy, in the beginning, only a test DSLR? Why not start with the “real thing” (good body, good lens, blitz etc.)? The answer is simple: By the time you will learn how to decently used all the above (body + lens + lights), you will have wasted a lot of time on a good machine. It actually costs you to have a performing DSLR and not use it at its real value.

Two kinds of feed-back and their importance

de

I think there are two kinds of feed-back: Emotional feed-back – “You did this, my reaction to this is this emotion”. Logical feed-back – “This can be improved like this & like that”. Feed-back is hugely important: See an animation movie and see how characters react one to the other. In my opinion, the essence of how a movie will be perceived is given by the way the feed-back is given (and, in emotions, exaggeration counts). If you want to get better, you need logical feed-back. That’s why I do audits. I think feed-back is very important to the society as a whole. In order to grow, you need feed-back.

At a recent event, Follow-up: Paul RENAUD and Dragoș ROUA: “Lessons in generating top line revenues and personal branding” (MBA Masterclass by Maastricht School of Management Romania, 2012.10.02): Olivian BREDA Paul RENAUD said a thing similar to: “If you want to improve a company’s marketing procedure, just analyze the current procedure, you’ll definitely find things to work on.”

On realism

de

In the movie Brave (2012) there is quite a lot of realism. In the movie Moonrise Kingdom (2012) (or in some of the Woody ALLEN‘s movies), a lot of things go into absurdity. I’ve thought until recently that the solution brought by realism is the better one. You’re anchored in reality, you see details, everything is part of a puzzle. As a complete opposite, the absurd things seem out of place. Things should be real, right? Well, no. I tend to live a lot into non-paying-attention-to-things kind of a world. While there are some real disadvantages (mishandling things, not paying attention, not remembering), the advantages are also there (going into never-thought-before places, a lot of ideas crammed into one mind – stuff like that). On various trainings with Cătălin ZAHARIA, I found out I should pay more attention. It was clearly something I missed. Now, I don’t put so much emphasis on this anymore.
