is a funny metric for success.
- Retric 10y agoShe wanted to work as an artist for Disney as a kid, realized that would take a lot of effort and put the time in. Considering how many other people try and do the same thing and fail it seems like a reasonable metric for success. It's a surprisingly brutal world. She got into CalArts which has a 27.5% acceptance rate and the application takes a lot of time, so I suspect they scare off a lot of people.
- jccalhoun 10y agoI thought that was kind of a weird evidence of success at art but I guess the person was in animation/special effects?
- rurban 10y agoI like that metric, because I was considered super smart as a kid, and I have two IMDB credits. (one even a Sundance winner) But I failed the other criteria in the article, inventions (even if I invented a certain computer-game-as-artform category in the 90ies), PhD, scientific success, ... Yes, it's a funny metric. And even if e.g. Cannes states that you can attend the festival if you are on IMDB, they never let me in. (Nowadays I wouldn't want to either because of politics) So it's inconsistent also.
