Ms.Jeanne Nakamura’s video clipping was very interesting. It showed all detail work for interviews on Creativity by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. She explained how they made over one hundred interviews with creative people (over the age of 60) in every field and thirty years of research on the subject. She showed interviews such as the Nobel Prize winner physicist, astronomer and sculptor. All interviewees were talking about their unique experiences, the problems during processing, and how they developed their own creativity. All their works were coming to a sudden insight into the nature of a problem by following Mihaly’s five creative processes: preparation, incubation, insight, evaluation and elaboration. She showed how to translate different languages on the video, and explained all the problems they had during the interviews. Astronomer Vera Rubin’s astronomical discovery was remarkable. It was impossible to imagine it without access to the large amount of information about celestial motions that had been collected for centuries. All creative people involved 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration as per Mihaly’s elaboration creative process. She showed how Mihaly’s project was created by their great organized teamwork and their creativity plan in the difficult situation and environment.
