CHANGE IS COMING ONCE AGAIN!
Melany Maximus
Director / Production Designer / Concept Artist | Director of Creative Development @ MI01
Already as a little kid, I dreamed to be an Imagineer. My late dad gave me that opportunity and already as a little kid, my dad took me to the film sets and film studios. Disney was my playground, so I can tell it is in my DNA.
As a creative, you always have too many ideas and now looking back I've made so many works for the motion picture industries, leisure industries, theme parks, and online media printed media and the broadcast media. From all the work I created, the most brilliant concepts never made it to reality yet or are never been released. And yes it is "Yet" because the world wasn't or isn't ready for that or the technology isn't available yet. So I decided that I have to publish it on my personal website. Maybe some recruiters, visionaries at Disney, Universal, apple or a new company can use it to change the way we live.
In all those years I predicted many developments that many years later came out and changed the way we live our lives today. For example; (and I can tell you a hundred) When I started my career at the design academy, I told my students that smartphones will replace desktop computers as we know then. Also, smartphones would replace the most photo and video cameras. But the "then" professionals laughed out Loud and never took my predictions serious. But what do they think now about my predictions?
Or that day that I have spoken Roy Disney and Peter Schneider about 3D computer animation. I told them that 3D computer animation would replace the traditional 2D animation. I'm so glad, they took the gamble and brought Toy-Story to the Cinemas.
And what about my prediction 20 years ago about TV on-demand and streaming services? I told everyone that we in 2020 doesn't watch linear Broadcast TV anymore, but that everything will be TV on demand on our mobile devices. Okay, it is almost 2020, and not all linear Broadcast TV is disappeared. But streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Hulu, Apple TV+, and many more have taken the lead these days. Alle traditional channels have to put their content online available. And why? because the creatives will always beat the conservatives sooner or later.
" Creatives want to create a better world! "
Like most creatives, I want to make the world more beautiful. Unfortunately, also in my life things happened that made me aware there is a lot of injustice in this world that I couldn't change by being a Concept Artist or Creative Director. (I know, it is my own fault to marry a conservative person) I've learned that creative minds not only can create awsome concepts and works of art, but they also have the capability to think different. So If I put my creative way of thinking into politics and law, I maybe can create a better world form the government and fair justice side. So I started at the Law school to become a lawyer who fights for a better world and human rights. But the conservative old boy's world doesn't accept young creative thinkers. And now I'm working in this business I experience from the inside that there is a big difference in being right and winning a legal fight. Winning a legal fight is all about the judge his/her conservative mind. He/she thinks "I know you" and "you have the same conservative ideas as me" so the verdict will be in your favor. Believe me, this is killing me, but I'm a fighter.
" You cannot stop a creative mind "
Creatives and those who work with creatives know already that you cannot stop a creative mind. So to prevent my suicide due to the unfair fights, I''m also releasing my creativity again. Not to make a living "yet" again, but to create a better and more beautiful world for my children. And it starts today, else I will see my dad very soon again.
" What about ESPN ? "
So in all those years when I walked in and out many Studios, I must commit that I never ever stepped in the ESPN studios, just because I am a sports player, not a pass
I played Hockey for many years, play Golf and I love running Marathons. But I hate it to watch a game from out of my chair. So my new challenge is how can I make the audience of sports games more involved and make them all move more, live healthily and create endorphins by actively sporting with the stars! And yes, I have a concept that I will release soon. It will change the rules of the game, and the audience all over the world will join actively to let his/her team win the game! You will not be the audience anymore, You will become a part of the game!
" Yes you may laugh once again "
Maybe you will laugh me out once again for every concept I will publish, and if my publishings are available in 10 years, my kids can say, That is what my mom already knew 10 years ago. At the end, Creatives do not think for the skeptical or conservatives. Creatives think for the visionary who are the market leaders of tomorrow.
Creatives do not think for the skeptical or conservatives.
