Damn you kids, get off my lawn!!
This argument has been going on ever since the Sony Porta-pak video
system became available in the late 60s. Lower cost and instant
gratification has supposedly killed creativity. But of course, now
there is an entire historical catalog of long form video art that is
now in the experimental cinema canon, preserved in museums, part of
the "establishment".
Technology is not making things too easy, it's enabling people who
previously couldn't make movies to be creative. They often do need
guidance, and that guidance has to come from mentors who understand
the art of cinema as well as its technological developments.
Rejecting the technology is a losing strategy. You can't put the
genie back in the bottle. To stay relevant, instructors must adapt to
the changing times. This is the fundamental issue with education
across the board.

But with our students it actually is "speed" that's killing
creativity, as they become more and more acclimated to working
"fast"--digital cameras, digital editing systems, etc. Ah, it's just
terrible--so much junk.
Shoot slow, edit slow, experience slow. ;]

It's nice to work slowly if you are trying to do so; it's insanely
annoying if you are not.
Imagine if a painter put a stroke on the canvas and couldn't see it
for 30 seconds afterwards. Not too many painters are striving to
achieve that workflow.
