Words with Chloé Micout. Chloé Micout was born in France in 1977 and studied audio-visual creation DEUG in the Sorbonne. She has worked on a variety of multimedia-based websites and has also written, starred and directed in a series of short films, including A Traverse Elle, which has recently been showcased at film festivals across Europe. She recently made a unique online video pitch to the famous writer/director Joss Whedon. 
Posted on Monday 19 July 2004  The Copydesk: Film-making tools and equipment are becoming less expensive, and video is gaining popularity on the internet as a result of broadband, so what are the new challenges for young film-makers over the next few years? Chloé Micout: Effectively, the falling cost of production equipment means that young directors can have access to semi-professional tools - image quality, special effects etc. This means that there's no longer an 'elite' of film-makers - anyone can create material, and then show it online. The downside is that the potential production base grows exponentially and it gets harder and harder to get started if the world and his wife can be a director, if they've got a computer and a video camera! If the tools are no longer the problem (drawing and design are more than just having access to paper and pencils...), like all art forms, what will stand out will be talent, originality and persistence. I think the challenge for young directors going forward is not to get lost in the noise of wall-to-wall images from multiple media sources but to find their way artistically. And that's the hardest thing to do. To find out more about Chloé Micout, visit her personal website. Read Chloé's response in French: "Effectivement, la baisse du coût des équipements de production permettent aux jeunes réalisateurs d’avoir accès à des techniques casi-professionnel : qualité de l’image, effets spéciaux, etc. L’avantage c’est qu’il n’est plus nécessaire de faire parti d’une élite, tout le monde à une chance de pouvoir montrer son travail, notamment par le biais d’internet. L’inconvenient c’est qu’on se retrouve avec une production énorme et il est ainsi de plus en plus difficile de se démarquer. Chaque personne qui possède un caméscope et un ordinateur devient un réalisateur potentiel ! Les outils n’étant plus un problème, comme toutes les formes d’art - l’écriture et le dessin, par exemple, qui ne nécessite qu’un papier et un crayon - la différence se fera sur le talent, l’originalité et la persévérence." |
