Title: Freelancing and Traditional Crafts – Can Media Help Keep Them Alive?**
Lately, I’ve been exploring how freelancers in animation and film can help preserve traditional crafts or farming methods. There’s something really powerful about using modern storytelling to highlight these fading practices, but I’m curious how others have approached it.
Has anyone here worked on projects that blend cultural heritage with media production? I’d love to hear about the challenges like finding clients who value this kind of work or making sure the stories stay authentic. Or maybe you’ve seen great examples where animation or documentaries gave new life to old traditions?
For those doing similar work, how do you balance creative freedom with the need to stay true to the craft’s roots? And if you’ve collaborated directly with artisans or farmers, what was that process like?
Just trying to figure out if freelancing can be a meaningful way to contribute, or if it’s better suited for bigger productions. Any insights or experiences would be awesome to hear!
