These are the seven arts. It is said that all major art forms fall into these seven categories. A prized friend of mine mentioned "The seven arts" to me more than a couple years ago, excited about the concept of such definition to the art realm, I shared his excitement to a degree, but thought no more of it. Then, slowly, over a period of two years I realized that I can do anything. The phrase "I can do Hard Things" grew into me, and I became someone who could do those things. That's when, as if true inspiration was waiting for me to be ready, sprouted. I wanted to become the master of the 7 arts. But how can one do that? To master all these intense art forms, would be impossible. So my idea changed a little bit, because I couldn't dedicate my life to something that would not yield positive results and help me support a family in the future. So I let that idea fall to the back of my mind for a while.
Then this idea propped back up when another grand friend of mine and I delved into the idea of a photography business. We both have moderate talent in that field and were excited at the prospect of growing our business and our talent. But I cannot stop my imagination. So small a project, a photography business is only the beginning for us. Then the words to an idea slowly poured into my brain. A production company, 7 pillared and producing the best artists in every field. Now for some strange reason, THAT seems a little less impossible to me, and a whole lot more fun. Here we are, I have a dream to hold on to. This is the goal, the 7 pillared media monster.
We've already begun, the photography business is well under way christened with the name The Slight Advantage studios. We have many clients and look to have many more. But what we need, what I need right now is a name for the over-arching, grand master productions company that will house all these smaller companies.
This kind of sounds very unrealistic, and difficult and the odds of someone becoming successful with this kind of idea don't seem too great. That's exactly why I'm writing this today. A majority of this blog will be dedicated to the progress of our business, our beautiful little creation, so you can all read from beginning to end, how this media giant will have come to be.
