The curse of a talented artist.

The curse of a talented film maker and compositor... During and after my studies I've developed the same mentality that my VFX supervisor's Dan McCathy & Anthony Gregory wanted to instil in me.

The mentality that many true artist's develop but at a cost. 

It seems that on most occasions in the films I work on that I'm never quite happy with what is created and I always find ways it could be improved, fixed or changed, even after it's been released.

It's one of the reasons why a lot of my films that I work on get slightly delayed. Once Mr Imagination is released soon I will be working on other project's, a Sci-Fi film called Apple, a poetic short film called The Wind's of Change & one more film that requires the live music to be added. I'm also heading to the next Kabaret to help create some cool horror films at Filmonik in October for Halloween. I don't have a job yet and I certainly need some income soon.. but at least I'm going to be a busy bee.

My film Broken that was created in less than 48 hours and was editing again over the span of a few weeks which was a fun film to create but I noticed that some shot's were over exposed. I wish I didn't have to rush when shooting that film. I've just installed magic lantern so that I can use zebras to check for overexposed areas of footage.

A film called Mr Imagination was fun to work on but the camera work was not perfect... some shot's could not be used because they were out of focus and some shots that were slightly out of focus still had to be used. It's a shame we did not have portable lighting on the day of the shoot.
