A good film that shows the charm of design from the inside out

Just a quick record of what I've seen:

Episode 1 Illustration: The ability to abstract things. Design and innovation is about recombining things that already exist and are familiar.

The second episode of shoes: technology, and the courage to persist in innovation. As a design work, another emphasis is on the story. (However, Jordan shoes are a special case, with more personal characteristics, it is difficult to make extensive reference.)

Episode 3 Stage: Sense of Space. According to the psychological feeling that the performance plot wants to convey, it is inspired by the corresponding stage design.

Episode 4 Architecture: Thinking outside the box.

Episode 5 Cars: Keep Learning. (In addition, because of personal preference, there are also experiences other than the design itself. I agree with him that driving is a way to escape from the world, making people focus and free. I also admire him for sticking to the path of love even though his family does not support it. courage.)

Episode 6 Flat: Keep Creating. The importance of communication and persuasion. (I can only admire the goddess in this episode - genius, cool, and a master of communication, what kind of talent and how much concentration of practice can this be achieved)

Episode 7 Photography: Focus on the message to be delivered (the photographer in the film is talking about message, I'm not sure if this translation means the exact same thing). Always be genuinely curious about each other, respect and listen to their stories, and build bridges.

Episode 8 Interior: What impressed me the most was actually a practical design method: the balance brought about by the combination of materials. In addition, due to the designer's personal style, another gain is the use of sensory experience in design.

Also, apart from these eight great designers, the production team of the entire documentary is also the ninth excellent designer (if it is divided into categories, can it be called video design? I don't understand haha). The composition, angle, and editing of the shooting screen, some small designs integrated into the screen (three-dimensional and two-dimensional interaction, such as the illustrator drawing lines in the air, several people walking at the same time, people in the mirror, etc.), in addition to the shooting screen, there are also graphic designs. The presentation and transitions (titles, names, lines, and some graphic transformations, etc.), as well as music and sound effects, also show the characters' personalities very well.

This is the first film I've seen that is devoted to design. Thank you very much to have such a film to help people who are interested in design understand this field. The introduction of each designer's growth experience in the film also made me feel that everyone who wants to see themselves and the way forward more clearly must go through a long process of exploration that is difficult for others to understand.
