Concept or Execution?

Pas · Post by **Pas** » Sun Aug 31, 2008 7:28 am

Not sure if this topic has been discussed prior to this, but if it has then feel free to link me to it and lock this one.

I was wondering, between a video with a good underlying concept but bad execution of the idea, and a video with no concept but good execution, which would you rate higher (on a personal basis)

What I want to try understand is if people prize artistic merit over how well that idea is executed.

A good execution of a weak idea.

Weak executions of great ideas just make me want to do the execution for them.

I love good concepts!!!! If an amv just has good execution then it's a boring video...

Chalk another one up for execution.

You can have the best artistic vision in the world, but if you can't pull it off it's gonna suck no matter how good the idea is.

They both go hand in hand. If you execute a boring idea perfectly, its still a crappy video.

I'm pretty much agreeing with this. Though a decent idea with a perfect execution imo is nicer then the awesome concept with the decent execution. It will end up getting the look of the editor not being ready for his own idea.
