Jesus - how important do you think we are?

Probably not, no.

I’m just saying in an industry of alcoholics, drunk advertising feels a little redundant

likefunny

Drunk history is funny because it’s important stories we already know, mistold. The fun is in the contrast.

Educating a viewer on your not-that-important campaign, and then drunkenly getting the story wrong would get pretty old pretty fast.

So you’re just pitching a documentary then?

I personally don’t want to see anymore shows about what we do. Mad Men is good bc it’s not actually about advertising, just a symptom of the flaws and sadness of each of the characters who work at the agency.

As for reality shows, nobody wants to be reminded that people are constantly working on creative ways to persuade them. I guess what I’m trying to say is that history is wonderful and advertising is not.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
