I'm a production artist so now I can't really watch a movie or play a video game or see a billboard or something without wondering how they did a certain thing or if I see a small continuity error or something wasn't masked out properly. It doesn't detract from the experience, in fact it adds to it. When I see something that amazes me, I think of how I can recreate that by developing new techniques or using a piece of software I've never used before. And, I take a mental note of how a story affected me and what part really affected me and I use that as a reference for my own things to reproduce that genuine feeling I have of wonder, excitement, sadness, or fear.
And, as an artist working in the industry, when I see stuff that other budding artists have done sure I can spot things that could be improved. But, I understand where they're coming from. I've heard a quote that I took to heart "Never criticize, always encourage." And, so that's what I try to do.
I've no experience in your industry or know anyone in it, but I find it so interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Mildly related (maybe not), I have had friends who recommend certain medical shows to me to watch. I have given them a try, but then I get bogged down by how overdramatised they are with the music, and "Um.. They're not going to revive anyone with those weak compressions."
In my last 3 years of highschool I had a class that taught the basics if law. All in all it was a great class, that taught me a lot of valuable information, but it also absolutely ruined every depiction of court trials in movies and TV, since I now know what it looks like in reality.
When was the last time you saw a production so good you ignored everything except the story?
Hm, the last major movie I saw was avatar 3 but I can't watch 3d movies without wondering. First movie that comes to mind is the first gladiator movie. I can see why everyone liked it
Thank you
