Acquisition of Technology, or, Mad Skillz

Andre Dupuis is a Gemini award-winning cinematographer.  His passion and talents have evolved with the latest techniques and technologies.  If the scope of his artistic vision requires a new skill set, Andre does not sleep until he has mastered what he needs to execute a project with style.

This guy is the cinematographer who recorded all of the tv series, 'Departures'. 

I love and admire so much that statement of his, esp, "...does not sleep until he has mastered what he needs to execute a project with style." 
That's astonishing, to me, such a lot of work! couldn't it be easier?
Still, that's the purpose of mastery, to facilitate expression, I have to remember that. 
I hate technology, it's so hard to stay w the left brain, I'd rather just jabber...but, I love technology, too, because it empowers me to create.  If there is no form, the content is incomprehensible.
I do retian a sneaky suspicion that only in the spoken word is the true power of the Word most essentially expressed.  I'l have to see.  Until then, I will continue to use digital voice recorder and vFlip video camera, and blog.
