About creators

I'm going to tell you a story... I have admired the creators always. This is, people that make something in his life. This list contains musicians, film makers, writers, game developers, comic makers, and something more.

Some time before i though that creators were people that in a special moment get some inspiration, and they had to transform this inspiration in a work or they explode. Sure, this in games or films is difficult, because they should need a lot of money. But they were people that gave birth his creation.

As time has passed, i see the things don't work in this way. Usually, the creator is someone that receives an errand, and has a producer. Although the creator believes that his work is better made as he thinks, the one who says if the work should be done in one way or the other (unless the author is self-sufficient, and sends the producer to go to hell). For example, if the writers don't send his books in a important publishing house don't arrive to a big part of the public, and in general there is a lot more works done that free time for enjoying them.

I am a bit uncharmed. Except decent exceptions, i see creators as mere serves of the system, as another work, that when reach high enough level (sometimes without it) they become a lot elitist.

But, appart from this, i want to be a videogames developer :P. And you?

Opa Opa forever!
