Pitch: Art is a creative form of expressing ideas our words can’t form. Art is unique, and it is what drives people to go further, some more than others. Most people are really passionate about art and it leads them to create such beautiful visual pieces for people to look at. When we hear the word art, one image or several images appear in our minds because art is such a powerful tool that helps us heal or remind us of certain moments. We see art when we open our eyes and look around. Whether it’s on the train, in our humble abodes, or even on our cellular devices, art is inevitable. The rise of modern art started during the time of the industrial revolution and has since risen. Many different forms of art have also become known and popularized.
With art, we only see the final work. Never the entire process. We miss the moments when the artist smiles at his or her own work or when the artist is upset that his or her vision is not what’s reflected in the art.
This short documentary will capture the moments when the artist is engrossed in his or her art. I plan to first open up with an establishing shot, to show the building that the artist works in, then I want to capture some of the other pieces the artist has worked on as a way to introduce the art, then the artist. As the documentary picks up, I plan to capture the process and shoot from various angles when I’m with the artist. I also plan to ask questions such as why they got into art or how. Also, what is it about this particular art that keeps them so focused. Then I want to show the final piece of the art and close it off with some more B-rolls and fade to black.
