Back at my college Syracuse U in the 70's, a guy down the hall of my dorm was majoring in TV and movie show production (we had a journalism college there, newspapers and TV news productions and such). I mentioned to him I was majoring in electrical engineering. He said something to the effect that "Technology should not get in the way of my creativity". He complained that some TV graphics he tried to make, with the color yellow, didn't come out right. Today I'd know that yellow is a color that NTSC can easily get wrong, back in the 70's.
Every so often, film director majors would try to make movies shooting them inside the dorms. These would probably make some of those bad 50's movies look good... One guy didn't put the film in the camera right, so all his efforts, and others, were for naught. I imagine none of these are around anymore, ought to search youtube when I have nothing better to do....
