George Lucas, speaking at the D conference, spoke about online video sharing sites like YouTube, vs making movies and professional shows: “There are two sorts of entertainment: circus and art. Circus is random…that is what is on YouTube. Throwing puppies on a freeway, we say it in film lingo. You watch it happen. It is voyeuristic. Sort of what American Idol is. Art is where a particular person contrives a situation and tells a story and hopefully that story reveals the truth behind the facts. Voyeurism only tell you the facts.”
