How many 'artists' do we have here?

[Laydeliel]

I realise the definition of 'artist' can extend as far as you like, and everyone here can be considered one, but I want to know how many want to be considered one.

How many of us here would like to engage in serious works, 'art' as it were?
How many of us here have skills pertaining to this, be it in effects or skilful editing or writing or acting or whatever else, that is, skills that you would consider of the standard to consider 'art' worthy?

I don't mean this as an attempt to set any sort of discriminating bar or initiate any elitism, rather I just want to know what people think about themselves.

As a hypothetical, if everyone on YTTalk were invited to participate in the creation of a feature length serious movie, utilising everyone's own skills, who would accept the invitation? A serious, perhaps heavy work involving alot of effort and time and skill and patience, still a Youtube work made for Youtube by Youtube, but no less serious than a Hollywood film. Does anyone aspire to this sort of work or am I barking up the wrong tree? lol

EDIT: maybe this should've been in the Youtube Chat/Chillout Room forum... I want it to be a discussion thread, but also to see who're the planners and script writers, so :? Man, which hole does the cone shaped block go into?

Watching your own videos hopefully changes your thought.

I consider everything I do art. The art of letting out my inner energy, the art of seeing to what depths I can explore this personality, the art of using my musical ability to give my channel a feel no one else's has. I am always trying to push boundries and show people things they've never seen. I try to make everything say something powerful, I definitely DEFINITELY consider myself an artist. I even feel like an artist of conversation and an artist of interaction. I'm always looking at the big picture and modifying it.

I feel the same way. I think the pursuit of art should not only be ever inward, looking how to tune every minute detail to your work, but also ever outward, and more encompassing.
