Doing It for the Art | comment |
When dealing with media, sometimes it is difficult to overcome the feeling that, however much you may love a TV show, movie, video game, etc., the only reason it exists is to make money. Sure, it might have great writing, acting, animation, etc., but when it comes right down to it, it got produced because someone wearing a fancy suit thought a bunch of other guys wearing fancy suits could make money off of it. However, there are plenty of people in media who do their work just because they find it fulfilling. Not all of us need money to justify effort. A lot of people are honestly just Doing It for the Art. Those from outside the art world usually associate this mindset with what is visibly present on the work. If there is an immense amount of detail present in a work, many feel it has to be because they are committed to pure artistry. However, this is a misconception, as plenty of artists will do this even if a paycheck is the ultimate motivator. Artists that do it for the art will be the first to admit they stretch their personal limits because that's their only motivation. Any work they do will be work done for its own sweet sake, even if it is never expected or intended to make money. Sometimes they will even turn down any kind of monetary compensation, no matter how much is offered to them. This often applies to niche media, since oftentimes, with more popular works, the creators must work with the general expectation that they need to create something to satisfy a large audience above all else. Now consider that Tropes Are Tools. Doing It for the Art does not equal quality work. If it did, then this page would have been put in the Sugar Wiki a long time ago. Some examples here are of people who genuinely tried, but just weren't talented enough — Sturgeon's Law still applies, regardless of the creator's motives. (In which case this would be some kind of consolation, as in, "That movie sucked, but at least they cared".) Conversely, doing it for money does not equal lack of quality. Indeed, some writers' hackwork is preferred to what they regarded as important stuff, sometimes because doing it for money was the only way they let down their pretensions. Also, if somebody lets their success get to their head to the point where their "vision" hurts the quality of their work, it can quickly slide into a Protection from Editors situation. However, the romantic ideal represented by this motivation can lead to a backlash against creators who are perceived to be doing something solely (or even partially) for reward, possibly by people who assume that doing something for money means you don't put your effort into it for artistic reasons as well. In film analysis, someone who does a lot of this is called an auteur, as opposed to the metteur en scene, who is the journeyman director who makes someone else's movie. Within the artists' circle, this practice is called "Art for art's sake". Of course, if it does actually make money, well that's just a perk. The same motive appears in a far less benign (and more explosive) form in For Science!. Compare and contrast with Awesome, Dear Boy, Money, Dear Boy, One for the Money; One for the Art, and So My Kids Can Watch. Contrast with Pandering to the Base, Propaganda Piece, Contractual Obligation Project, and Creator's Apathy. See also Serious Business, The Producer Thinks of Everything, Shown Their Work, Written for My Kids, and Creator-Chosen Casting. Important Note: This only applies when creators openly state they prioritize art over profit. No matter how impressive something might be production-wise, a behind-the-scenes factoid or a visual effect is not proof on its own that the creator or production team is Doing It for the Art. This page is not intended for Gushing About Shows You Like. If you are looking for pages to gush about impressive facets of production regardless of motive, please post it on Development Heaven, Awesome Art or Visual Effects of Awesome instead. If you were sent here by an example that better fits any of those pages, please correct this by moving the example away from the Trivia page and into one of those pages instead. |

Sherlock was originally created because writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss were gigantic fans of Sherlock Holmes and frequently discussed what a modern adaptation of the books would be like. They didn't expect it to become popular and actually had a very small promoting budget during the first series. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. You do not get much more committed to a work than when your director dies partway through, causing a series that could really be wrapped up in just three months to drag on for three years and keep going at it and refusing to let any of that lessen the quality. To say nothing about the realistic nature in which it was portrayed. | |

In The Artist George Valentin, in refusing to do 'talkies', claims in an interview that he is, in fact, 'an Artist', and that silent acting requires artistry, while sound will actually degrade the medium. He's wrong, of course, but the film itself pays tribute to that artistry. | |

Kuronuma Ryuzo in Glass Mask does this. His in-story nickname is Ogre General because of his strict, uncompromising perfectionism. He's perfectly willing to spend five years to try and put on the perfect play if that's what it takes. The financing guys are not particularly appreciative. Most of the major characters fit this. Maya never actually seems to even think about the pay when considering a role, and only ever seems to have money when someone else is managing her finances. |

MS Paint Adventures. Andrew Hussie Hussie once said that to most people, even if they make no money from it, stuff like this is a job to them, whereas for him MSPA is a lifestyle, and he spends the majority of every day working on it; even though most of it is planning, that's still a ridiculous amount of dedication. | |

This is the core and bedrock of Octavia Philharmonica's character in RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse. When she becomes Princess Luna's Court Musician, her joy comes not primarily from the wealth and fame the position brings, but from the fact that there is no audience in the world with more experience of classical music and more ability to understand and appreciate her work and from the fact that as Luna's Court Musician she has the time and resources to learn fields of music she would never otherwise even have heard of. In The Court Musician Of Equestria, Octavia is contrasted with Thrash Metail. Where Octavia is devoted to music, Thrash just wants fame and fortune, as shown by his willingness to resort to mind-control spells to make his audiences believe that his work was good. This becomes clearest in the final confrontation between the two of them, where Octavia asks if any of his music from before he found the Guitar of the Sirens still survives, stating that if he ever was, even in the slightest, a true musician, he'd want to be remembered for his own work, however mediocre it might be. Thrash replies that he burnt the records. They didn't bring him fame and glory, so they were worthless to him. |

The Simpsons: In "The Book Job", Lisa sets out to write a book after learning her favorite books are made by teams of writers who are Only in It for the Money. Homer, hearing about this, gathers up a team so they themselves can write a book for easy money, all done in the style of a criminal heist. Lisa suffers writer's block, while Homer and his team slowly fall into this trope to the point that they're willing to risk their earnings to preserve their vision. | |

Geoffrey Tennant in Slings & Arrows. The first season features this prominently, but in the final season, his dedication to his vision sees him hiring a terminally ill heroin addict, getting the production booted from the main stage to the studio theatre to out of the festival altogether, alienating nearly everyone involved, losing his job, and then finally putting the show on in a church basement. | |

The first season of The Katering Show was made with an arts grant and the stars and director didn't get paid at all. The second season had backing from TheABC but even then, the money was basically all on screen.

Ōban Star-Racers was Savin Yeatman-Eiffel's child on every conceivable level. Concerned that working for an existing studio would not give him the creative control he needed, he founded his own independent animation studio, spent years raising funds and figuring out the desired art and animation style, spent even longer to secure the music, sound, and voice talent he desired, and even wrote the scripts for all 26 episodes himself in several languages. The end result is an incredibly polished childrens' action/adventure animated series that's regarded as a Cult Classic. | |

Discussed by Tom Scott in his video The Greatest Title Sequence I've Ever Seen. He talks about the biannual Hilarious Outtakes clip show It'll Be All Right on the Night, and how each title sequence used surprisingly ambitious visual effects and editing to cue in each episode. In particular, he discusses All Right on the Night's Cockup Trip, which had such subtle details in its intro, including a spinning compass, that it blew him away. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin's tendency to make grotesque snow creations as deliberately subversive art that others find disturbing and unappealing is periodically commented upon. In one strip, he makes a hideous snow creature as a counterpoint to the more typical snowmen another kid made. When Hobbes comments on Calvin's "willingness to put artistic integrity before marketability", Calvin has a moment of realization and then builds a regular snowman. | |

The Muppet Show always had Jim Henson and company going that extra mile for the series. Henson willingly cancelled it after its fifth season because he felt like the show lasting any longer would have compromised their creative output. | |

Similarly, JIM, the creator behind the Neurotically Yours series, was offered several times to have his creation put on TV shows or on a more broadcasted network on the Internet. JIM had turned down every single offer purely because every contract he read over had something in it that meant he would have less control over his creations and he didn't want to have his characters changed beyond his control. | |

Every single one of the actors and crew donated their time to make Home Movie: The Princess Bride, which was created to raise money for the World Central Kitchen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Director Jason Reitman instructed all of the actors to "think like kids" for their respective segments, leading to the scrappy "kids' home movie" feel of the production. | |

In Roommates, Rakesh's main motivation for doing pretty much anything is that he thought it would make good art. He says that he follows nature's example: nature doesn't ask you if you like its flowers, or expect you to pay it anything in return; it merely blooms because it feels like it. | |

In Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, this is subjected to a Decon-Recon Switch. Midori Asakusa and Tsubame Mizusaki both share a strong passion for animation, and found the Motion Picture Club with friend Sayaka Kanamori in order to let them make the kind of material they want. However, their very same passion becomes an obstacle multiple times along the way, with Mizusaki's emphasis on highly detailed character animation bogging down the pace at which she can work, to the point where she spends two weeks working on a single cut at one point, and Asakusa's inability to accept the idea of outsourcing labor (due to her own difficulties at socializing and a perceived inability to properly convey the ideas she envisions) forcing her to undertake far more work than necessary. However, thanks to Kanamori being around to keep the two in check while still making provisions for their own wishes, Asakusa and Mizusaki are able to get their projects actually finished (albeit at the last minute) while still having room for the kind of artistic expression they strive for. | |

Day Break (2006) seemed to have been this. Unusual for a TV show, the entire season was written out and filmed as a whole like a movie and then broken up into 13 episodes, allowing for a great deal of continuity and tricks that might have otherwise been difficult or even impossible to do. | |

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the adults in the Golden Ticket tour group question Willy Wonka as to the actual purpose of the elaborate Chocolate Room. Beyond the waterfall, which of course mixes the chocolate, none of it has a practical application; as Mr. Salt asks, "Well if it isn't for anything and it doesn't make money then why on earth does it need to exist at all?" This leads into an I Am What I Am song for Wonka, "Simply Second Nature", that's specifically about this trope — the room and, in fact, all of his creations as a confectioner are created out of a personal, restless desire to make the world a lovelier place in his own way, and this is more important to him than whether a given "work" will make money or not. (This makes the backstory detail that he became a reclusive artist after greedy rivals stole his work rather more poignant than in other versions.) | |

The One-Punch Man anime is done by Madhouse on what is reportedly a very average budget...and yet they are creating amazingly detailed and beautifully animated scenes for the show, far above what that budget should be able to allow. All indications are that they're doing it simply because they love the concept of One-Punch Man and just want to bring it to life in anime form. | |

In The Princess Bride Inigo's father, Domingo, was possibly the greatest swordmaker in the world. He hid out in a tiny village and kept his skills a secret because he didn't want people to come offering money for his swords. He wanted to create a sword which was a work of art. He did have a less-skilled friend work as a front man and bring him the good ones though. Unfortunately, this ends up backfiring because when the nobleman who hired him to make the sword started quibbling over the price, Domingo calls him a fool for haggling over a piece of art, which Domingo worked himself nearly to death on. The unamused nobleman takes the sword and kills him. We all know how that ends. | |

The Ren & Stimpy Show creator John Kricfalusi. He turned down the offer he got from DreamWorks Animation to pitch a movie because he thought the team compromised his creative vision. He was also so insistent on keeping the original content of his cartoons in, he purposefully slowed down production of The Ren & Stimpy Show so the censors would have less time to go over them. It worked, but ultimately got him fired. (Needless to say, the Spumco staff is generally Doing It for the Art — after John K was kicked out, the majority of the crew left alongside him). The unbelievably high quality of Spumco productions (with John K's rule to never draw the same expression twice) is not unheard of either — especially that all of it is done for TV. However, as evidenced by this blog post of John K's, it's also quite evident the economic thinking is not absent. | |

Creators of Gothic churches would also care to create statues that were perfect on all sides—even if no humans would ever see the backsides, God still would. One gothic Cathedral, Chartres (whose architect is unknown and is regarded as a collaboration by pious villagers), is invoked by Orson Welles in F for Fake as an ideal of this belief, noting that it rendered hollow most artistic pursuits as vain and self-fulfilling, his own works included. During Baroque, this approach changed. | |

Willy Wonka has shades of this, from insisting upon waterfall-mixed chocolate to making unusual sweets such as the Everlasting Gobstoppers and the chocolate robin's eggs that Grandpa Joe mentioned.

Just one example of how far Shout! Factory is willing to go: for years, Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans assumed the Gamera episodes would never be officially released. After all, one of the Rhino DVD sets had to be yanked and re-released with a different episode due to copyright issues with a Godzilla film and the owners of the Gamera rights were even less pleased with Best Brains. And then Shout put all the Gamera episodes out on one collection. | |

New micronation character Kugelmugel in Hetalia: Axis Powers appears to do everything for the art, including declaring his independence. He also seems to spend his time pondering what exactly constitutes art. This is based off only one appearance, so further developments may change it. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Two full expansion sets were nothing but over-the-top cheesy humor — Unglued and Unhinged — were done strictly because the developers wanted to do something silly. It doesn't help that the main impetus behind both was Phil Foglio. | |

In the days before the release of The Last of Us Part II, Jason Schreier of Kotaku wrote an article that touched on the darker side of this trope. Developer Naughty Dog had a habit of perfectionism and only hiring the best, most driven people to make their games as good as could be, which meant they'd be willing to put up with twelve-hour-plus workdays and coming in sick to work on the game. They were never asked to work overtime week after week until they were hospitalized because they'd do it anyway. Some employees found it impossible to do it for the art in the extreme crunch, to the point that most game animators refuse to work with Naughty Dog at all. | |

While Malazan Book of the Fallen is profitable to the publisher nowadays, it took quite a while to get there. It took even longer for Steven Erikson to even find a publisher who was willing to take the entire series as planned because it was such a massive undertaking and he wasn't willing to compromise. Erikson is citing his frustration with the publishing system's aversion to risk-taking in the preface of Gardens of the Moon. | |

In The Elder Scrolls Online, the House of Reveries is a theater troupe in Summerset that's all about this trope: while most artists in Summerset are hoping for fame, the members of the House of Reveries give up their identity, donning a mask and a new nickname (such as "Alchemy", "Feathermoth", "Clever", etc). It's to the point that if the face of one of their members is seen, that person is kicked out of the troupe. | |

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, anyone? Done out of Joss Whedon's own pocket as a response to the TV Strikes, with the cast and crew being paid almost entirely out of any profits it made from iTunes sales and ads and eventual DVD sales. And it's insanely popular. One of the DVD commentaries for Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is the appropriately titled Commentary! The Musical. In it, Felicia Day takes the time to tell us, and remind herself, that it's "All About the Art". And not about the hunky co-star, awesome shoes, or promoting her own web series. Joss sometimes gets this reaction from people who have had the pleasure of working with him. When Joss called Nathan Fillion to pitch the idea, Fillion said he saw the caller ID and answered the phone with "the answer is YES!" |

Most producers and writers, and even actors on Doctor Who see the show as their lifelong dream, but special mention has to go out to Russell T Davies, who tried for sixteen years to get it back on the air. Say what you want about his storytelling, but he really loved the show. This trope even extended to actors who weren’t even fans of the series before appearing in it. William Hartnell took to the series like a fish took to water, going to the extra effort of labelling many of the dozens of levers on the TARDIS console so he knew which one to use for a specific purpose and had great faith in the future of the show, which couldn’t be said for the other shows he previously appeared in. Jon Pertwee enjoyed doing the show because he finally got to have the chance to play a suave action hero rather than another comic character, also developing friendships with the other cast members and crew, and Tom Baker thought the entire idea behind the show was cool and was more interesting than his own personal life. Not forgetting all the other people who worked on bringing Doctor Who back after its hiatus and those who work on the Doctor Who Expanded Universe, such as Nicholas Briggs for Big Finish Doctor Who. It helped keep Doctor Who alive before its return. The Doctor Who Restoration Team, the people responsible for the remastering on the later VHS releases and all the Classic Series DVD releases work for free so that people can see the show in the best possible quality. |

Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Though he hated the weekly format of the manga, the Executive Meddling, and being obligated to make his work a Franchise Zombie, his works never declined in quality—in fact, it became even more complex and interesting—and he always took special care about making sure no plot holes were created. What's also notable is that he had already become very financially successful with his previous work Dr. Slump, and yet he chose to keep going with another work. | |

In Seminar, a group of four acquaintances and wannabe writers hire a famous writer turned editor to give them a series of lessons on how to be better writers. However, most only see it (or even getting a particular book published) as a career stepping stone, and only one, Martin, feels he's truly doing it for the art. However, this is also a transparent excuse for Martin to feel self-righteous and look down his nose at others. | |

Edd Gould refused to have Eddsworld be monetized despite its massive popularity, insisting that he didn't intend the show to go anywhere beyond being a silly series of animations featuring himself and his friends. Though a store for the series was opened around 2018 followed by the launch of a Patreon in August 2020, both of which were long after Gould's death, Gould's friends made it clear that the money is not for pure monetary gain (a bulk of it goes towards Gould's family, with the rest going to the series' new animation team) and intend keep the series exclusive to the internet. | |

This mindset is the reason why Ed, Edd n Eddy was the final Western production to have its animation be hand-inked and hand-painted, managing to hold out for years after everyone else had abandoned celluoid (only switching because the overseas animation studio finally put their foot down). On top of that, creator Danny Antonucci is credited as the writer and director nearly every episode, with he and his crew have managing to come up with over 130 episodes worth of stories and gags with a cast of only 12 characters. | |

Garrett in Thief treats his thievery like this. Sure, it pays the bills, but the real reason he steals is pride. In The Metal Age, he needs to break into the Bank and gleefully mentions he's always wanted to do this ("Now I know I'm a master thief, breaking into the Bank Vault..."). Then in Deadly Shadows, he notes that he's been dying for a good excuse to break into the museum ever since they declared their security to be thief-proof. | |

bill wurtz shares his truckloads of music, videos, and other content — most famously on YouTube, but even more of it is through his personal website — all for free and without ads. He has a personal distaste for advertising and sponsorship culture, and that despite facing immense pressure from companies offering him exorbitant amounts of easy cash, he rejects it every time. He does upload his music on streaming services, sparingly sells merch, and has a Patreon for donations, but he doesn't promote or even incentivize them with rewards. He also doesn't think much about maintaining a mainstream online presence, either — he allowed himself to disappear without announcement in 2019, then return in 2021 revealing he spent the interim learning 3D animation. | |

Homestar Runner. It was quite sometime before the creators realized that they could make a penny out of it, and it was done as a labor of love. Now, they make enough money off of merchandising for it to be their entire livelihood. After it started picking up steam, The Brothers Chaps were offered, multiple times, TV shows and movie deals for Homestar Runner. Each time, they've said no. The closest they've come is the Telltale games, all of which have either Mike or both Chaps working with Telltale extensively on lines and story. (Eventually, they said yes to animating careers that had nothing to do with Homestar whatsoever.) | |

Porter Robinson's "Musician" is a Decon-Recon Switch of this, beginning as an anthem about the enjoyment of creating and sharing emotions with the world, but then zigzagging between ripping into how much of an uphill battle it can be — both regarding burnout in the artistic process and outside discouragement for not having a "real" job — and celebrating it anyway, because creation is simply that important. | |

Marble Hornets was made on about a total of $500, which is about enough to buy a camera, Sony Vegas, and a suit. It's made by Something Awful goons balancing schooling and living on part-time jobs, using only weekends and time off to shoot. Troy has personally been offered TV and film deals, only to turn them down because the Internet is more fitting. Though there is a movie being made now that it's over, starring Doug Jones as the Operator. | |

Katawa Shoujo is a Visual Novel done entirely by a worldwide group of amateurs being distributed for free, simply because the developers wanted to turn an idea and characters (a game where all the potential love interests were disabled schoolgirls) from an omake page from a doujinshi into reality. What's even more staggering is the project was birthed on 4chan, yet the subject matter is handled with much more care, respect and dignity than many a Very Special Episode cares to afford. | |

Babylon 5: The creator of the show also wrote 4/5ths of the 110 scripts and took the job of executive producer just so he could get the creative control he wanted. There's also over 10,000 posted public comments from the five year run of the show. It went so far that he let Warner Brothers give him a percent of the net rather than the gross. Hollywood Accounting at it's best, he's not upset despite the 'billion dollars' it's made for WB with him seeing almost nothing off DVD sales. | |

This is one of the defining traits of Imagawa. Giant Robo and Shin Mazinger are both incredible stories that tanked in Japan, and G Gundam would have been a shameless set of 22-minute toy commercials had he not held his ground. | |

WKRP in Cincinnati is another prime example. After TV reruns and 20th Century Fox's season 1 DVD release scoured the episodes of nearly all the licensed music integral to the show — the latter seeing low sales because of this — Shout! came to the rescue and put out all the episodes with approximately 85 percent of the original soundtrack. | |

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind—When Hayao Miyazaki originally pitched the idea, producers refused to risk money making a film not adapted from a current hit, so Miyazaki reluctantly made a manga out of it. Even after the Nausicaa movie was greenlit, made, and became a hit, he continued to create the manga for the next dozen years in between working on his other hit films. | |
