hey ania

thanks for adding me onto your facebook
and thanks for inviting me to this circle too
:)

i ; myself am a digital artist
and creating a project is pretty crazy sometimes
but the most fun part of it all is coming up with the idea and the concept of the project
the direction and the objective of the project comes later
and tom is right
you really got to nail down to one idea and concept
:)

hope i somehow manage to help you clear your head a little, ania.

have a great week!
:)

cheers.
may

Ania,

Thanks for inviting me to your circle :-)

As a corporate filmmaker, the process I enjoy the most is actually meeting clients and discovering 1. their story, 2. figuring out how to capture that story which, 3. helps solve their "problem" or "issue" they are facing.

Challenges? Getting a story captured in a few minutes, or perhaps longer is always a challenge. That's why it's important to really nail down one objective the film should accomplish when it fades to black.

Lastly, in my industry, RFP standards is always an issue. RFP's come in with absolutely no frame of reference or context. It'd be great to have a standard RFP for clients to consistently use.

Thanks for the questions...take care!
Tom

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for joining CR8N. I hope that the circle I have created will sprout into beautiful collaboration between its members. As a start (and hopefully not finish), I wanted to start a discussion topic about two things that have been cycling in my mind: about the process involved in creating projects; and, the role of the global warming and environmental concerns play in the work that manifests. What I refer to in terms of the process of creating projects, is the question of what part of the process do you enjoy the most and what challenges do you work toward overcoming? Are these challenges posed by the industry? What are they for you? What kind of changes would you like to see happen in your particular industry? Feel free to respond. Cheers.
