Many artists wish to explore new media outside of their traditional discipline. They have a strong idea of what they want to achieve but lack the understanding of their new media to make it happen. On projects such as these I often facilitate the artist as a camera operator and technical consultant. This works in much the same way as a film director and camera operator relationship. The director has worked with the script, story-boarded it and knows the look of the film they want to achieve. They then direct the camera operator accordingly listening to technical suggestions. There is one important difference however, the camera operator may offer creative input. In contrast as an artist's facilitator I am very reticent about offering creative input if the artist is to retain ownership of the work. Otherwise it becomes a collaboration which is an entirely different type of project.
