How to be Creative - 7 tips from the front line [ Tim Clague]

  • Volunteer - 'getting involved' ; behaviour to creativity 
  • No one comes from nowhere ; media portrays people come from nowhere and then they are automatically found (this is shown is shows from X Factor etc) ; they don't exactly tell the reality; education and stuff. 
  • Put everything into everything - but life is not a meritocracy ; Need to show every time, never short cut anything ; Don't be fooled with your being the best.
  • Don't wait to be invited, just crack on with it - better for things to take time 'keep doing it anyway even if finished' 

An Interview with Chucklefish Games [ Rosie Ball] 
  • Competition leads to connections at times 
  • Continuing to show their stuff through the internet (social media and blogs etc) to their audience which then lead to fundings and money 
  • Directly talking to your audience at all times 
  • Streaming the video before launch - testing before hand and trying to convince people before hand about what is to be expected in the games

  • Understanding the environment but being comfortable - no younger audience

An Audience [ Tony Garnett] 
  • All of his movies were influences from his experiences
  • wanted to show working people - ordinary citizens and their lifestyles
  • reflecting people for who they are not what they are portrayed to be 
  • Each movie feels truth but not THE truth 
  • Each film is political

  • News will be always somebody else 'news' and from what they think of it 
  • We make sense of ourself through story telling 
  • 'tell me a story' we kept saying when we were 3 but not knowing we will be always saying it since then
