Final Project

With our final project, our presentation deadline is fast approaching. On November 26th we are going to present our final project to the school and members of the community. Because of this, it is vitally important that I make any last minute changes to my project within the week.

This is part of the problem with being a perfectionist, you have to manage your time well enough to complete your projects, but to be satisfied with the quality of your work you have to set aside sufficient time for review. In my original schedule, I set aside time for review; so I am happy that I've had the opportunity to have my project review by the faculty, and to have time to review the project myself.

In my review, I've identified a few things that I'm not happy with about the project. Fortunately, these are not major problems and I anticipate that I will be able to overcome these challenges with enough time to perfect the details of the project.


The Details

I'm somebody who likes to pay attention to little details, I believe that attention to small details contributes to big successes. As a producer, it is important to know that the audience will accept your successes without noticing them, but they will immediately notice your failures... mistakes are always more noticeable than things done right.

Design is an important factor when creating a work of art. Ideas are what drive a project, and ideas are what make something memorable. There are millions of videos out on the web, and it takes something special to be memorable and thought provoking. Because of this, ideas pose a challenge to a creative person; you have to cut through the clutter of those millions of hours of video in order to have your work shine through. If your ideas are good enough, and you are able to communicate them effectively, then you are more likely to reach people.

When creating media, you have to remember that there is a real live person at the other end of your project. Show them something fantastic!
