Disruption comes in many forms. Technology has made it possible to create a lot with little. The internet as a whole has brought back the notion that for a lot of people and companies, it’s good enough to make a living, rather than getting rich. Combine the two and you have the most difficult hurdle to overcome for any profit-driven company today.
I’m going through my old blog, and found this. I still don’t think we’ve even seen the beginning of what will come of this.
We wanted to give people something that people could finish,” says Lipman. “We felt like there’s an endless amount of real-time news and real-time news apps, and with those, you’re never done. There’s this endless quest for more. We wanted something users could ‘snack on’ for content and go deep on others, something they could spend 30 minutes while drinking coffee, enjoy in the morning, and then say they’re done.
Now that’s a familiar thought, right? Oh yes, here it is.
As John Lasseter, The Chief Creative officer [at Pixar], says, “We don’t actually finish films – we release them.” They’re absolutely perfectionists. But there are two types of perfectionism – there’s healthy perfectionism, which is striving for excellence – which is Pixar. And there’s unhealthy perfectionism, which is just worrying about what everyone is going to think of you all the time. Pixar creates this healthy perfectionism. They don’t say “this is the answer.” They say “you’re getting closer and closer to it.”
33 minutes well spent with an underdog hero, in this great documentary.
