In the documentary "Look at What the Light Did Now", you see that Feist is on top of everything, and the way everybody else is describing her indicated that her crew is fond of her, happy with her. Feist (or "Les" as she is called by the crew) is consistent and determined about what she wants, however not obstinate, carefully examines every suggestion, as she says , she likes to form the art work through sharing her ideas with other artists. She does not like being exposed on stage, so the lights are dim. And she starts working with a light performer - which I thought was very creative. The artist and the idea itself is novel. And she does not want to be on the cover of her album, so she and the photographer finds the middle in putting her siloutte on the album. And although one of the musicians says he can play all the instruments for her and although he thinks this is the easiest way, she does not change her mind about making up a group of musicians who all contribute. They all live in the same studio for quite some time, which can be seen as a bit of a craze.
The documentary shows clearly how the musicians, producers, graphic artists, directors work together to put up all the art behind every music project. I dont think every artist spends so much time on innovating something new, by challenging the limits of creation as Feist does. She seems truly in the idea of art, production and creation.
She was able to take me all the way to her own world of creation.
