About this Quote

Steve Burns, known for his work on the popular children's television series "Blue's Clues," uses a look into the imaginative procedure and the uncertainty that often accompanies it. In his quote, Burns assesses the double nature of imaginative tasks-- the preliminary self-confidence in the quality of the work and the lingering doubt about its possible success with audiences.

When Burns discusses acknowledging "genuine quality" in the show "after the very first couple episodes were completely scored and animated," he highlights the awareness that originated from seeing the end product, with all its parts-- animation, music, storytelling-- coming together to produce something special. This recommends that the production team was devoted to crafting a program with high standards, utilizing their know-how to ensure that it would stand apart in the world of children's programs.

Nevertheless, Burns likewise acknowledges a consistent uncertainty about whether the program would "work." This remark resolves the unforeseeable nature of innovative endeavors. No matter how confident developers may be about their tasks, there is constantly an aspect of unpredictability relating to how they will be received by their designated audience. For Burns, this uncertainty most likely originated from questions like whether the program's instructional material would resonate with children, whether young viewers would connect to the characters, or if moms and dads and teachers would find the product valuable and engaging.

Burns' statement encapsulates a necessary truth about creative work: that the leap from quality to success is never ensured. It highlights the often-tumultuous journey from production to reception, where developers must stabilize their confidence in their work with a preparedness to accept unpredictability. Ultimately, Burns' introspection in this quote talks to the vulnerability and hope inherent in the innovative process, as well as the strength required to bring a vision to fulfillment amidst unpredictability.
