“You end up constantly doing this, so it becomes difficult to draw the line and say, stop.”
Kojima explained the trap of his medium: even if it captures real actors and real voices, in the end everything becomes digital, and when it is digital you can change things daily. The human may be satisfied one day and dissatisfied the next; the analog does not allow going back, the digital does — and one ends up doing it constantly so it becomes difficult to draw the line and say stop. In a streaming world, a creator could change their work every day and broadcast it again, which he said would end up being like George Lucas; he added that something like this will probably become possible, although he would not recommend it.
“And when it's digital, you can change things daily. […] We, as human beings, may be satisfied with what we created that day, but by the following day, we may feel differently and are no longer content. […] That would end up being like George Lucas, but I suppose something like this will become possible. Although, I don't think I would recommend it.”
