[@girlscarf]

the way he talks about art makes you hungry to live

[@arkaniaknight6268]

I envy this man's passion. He truly is living! What am I doing....

[@irisc4557]

it's interesting to see how he describe his career path. instead of using what important movies/animation he made as the milestone he used who and what he came across. it also reflects on his works that he likes to explore relationships between people and get inspired by them. this talk is one of the weirdest i've ever seen. but he's also one of the most talented artists of our time

[@Lyonessi]

He comes off authentic regardless of how unconventional or uncomfortable his truth is. I think this is what a true artist does.

[@nudul842]

out of all the presentations i've seen from artists, i always come back to watch this one. this weird and hilarious authenticity is extremely refreshing

[@eskimodot]

"So now I am an art director, but why I am an art director? Because I fucking say so!" Legend! :D

[@ejicon3099]

Alberto's personality is awesome. He's grown so much as an artist and director over the past 5 years. Great to see people finally recognizing him and his art.

[@Pearlflower1]

the begin make me think he just wake up and improvise on stage

[@ytubeanon]

If this talk had taken place later, it would've been interesting to hear about how Sony was super supportive in the beginning of his making Spiderverse, but then went all the way to firing him

[@archivehans]

its fine thou. they talk about him alot in the art books and in almost every making off and behind the of Hes a massive influence in the project and you can see him ooze in every shot

[@scream-beam3519]

@@archivehans ~ what are the names of these books? and the particular part where why they fired him.

[@K41Z3RR]

His vision was too mundane, and the timeline for implementation was sky-high. How long did it take to create just one episode of the first collection of the LDR, authored by Mielgo, 10 minutes long? A year? Think about it.

[@yakudzaeditor]

@@K41Z3RR зато это искусство ради искусства, а не ради денег. Этим всё сказано

[@close_your_eyes8185]

@@K41Z3RR Yeah and that episode is a masterwork piece of art. I can see that not working out for a sony film like spider-verse but I really hope he gets the opportunity to make his own full length film some time in the future.

[@51lodb]

Wow! I thought I could listen to this guy and work but no way! I had to watch and listen to Alberto. What a guy! I love him! We artists understand what he's saying.

you're an***

[@isn0t42]

You develop a backstory out of the present fact. It actually grows backwards. It's like when you're writing a story and you start with something that you want to happen in the plot, and then make up a backstory for it. It's the same.

[@gonzalo6890]

[@Omobsterrrr]

Really??? The analogy with the sloth and the cow?

[@mr10w18]

@@Omobsterrrr he meant he didn't want miles to be a hero, i(!) think he wanted to make a realistic movie about real people without all these superheroes things n unrealistic wins n world saves, but about real life and its pros n cons n problems n just about reality in general with this superheroes' ....shell??.., idk how to explain better i guess u get it anyway so that what he may was talkin about third act or may not lol idk, probably we wont know it anyway

[@mr10w18]

@@Omobsterrrr but he said it after his words about ability to chose projects now so i don't think he was talking about spiderverse actually, it was just some of his projects he didn't accept to work with ig

Sunstrum Sharam That’s his taste on other people’s tastes

[@bloom4774]

People can have awful Taste aswell it’s not all subjective, in this case I think he meant to show his Interest in his taste

[@goddamn5224]

Taste is the hability (sensibility) to see , and the express beauty

[@Hubert99999]

I think he meant stuff that is also in his taste. But then theres also just some people who hav really bad taste objectively... imo

[@thinguyenhoang5004]

9:18 at this point idk what is the topic of this talk

[@dwayneneckles]

Why is this guy so secretive? He says he never shows his process. Ok most don’t. Not sure why he felt the need to share that. Creatives.

[@Lyonessi]

Like he said he feels naked. Maybe because his art is his own style and method he likes to keep it personal and by keeping his process hidden he can play with it any way he wants without judgment because really he is doing this for himself.

[@MrMadalien]

There are a lot of haters in this space. If you show everything and show all vulnerabilities and flaws you will be torn to pieces. Better to not let people know exactly how you do things, although you can still share a lot without going that far.

[@Adam-kx2tp]

This guy just insulted Vincent Van Gogh art and then went on to do a painting demo on Photoshop. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[@TheNerdOnTube]

He didn't insult Van Gogh's art, the point he made was way more complicated than this. Maybe you should rewatch it and you should try to understand it.

[@Adam-kx2tp]

@@TheNerdOnTube I get his point I just find his view on people having different styles and approach to be short sighted and closed minded.

[@reese8050]

I mean... the guy mentioned he's got great taste but not technique. And that he finds different tastes in paintings interesting. Objectively speaking here, but Van Gogh is not really all that skillful compared to the other masters. So was Picasso, but their tastes are really unique.

[@Lyonessi]

@@Adam-kx2tp he didn't claim there was a strict order but expressed where he found people would show more taste than technique in their work to those who showed a masterful balance.

[@Adam-kx2tp]

@@reese8050 Yeah but Van Gogh was actually technically sound. Google the preparatory drawings for the hill in montmare. He had the ability to work realistically he just chose not to. Picasso's drawings when he was a child already surpasses the skill level of the artist being showcased here. These people actually deliberately painted in a weird way because they had already surpassed what this guy is talking about so they were trying to find something new and interesting that can sell and compete with the the styles and climate of those times.
