Fucking Showreel - part II
I have ONE project to finish and then my updated Directing Reel will be complete. The computer animation on this last project has been delayed and delayed and delayed.
Anyway.
After about three weeks of silence - the computer visual effects man has FINALLY been in touch - he has been out of the country shooting a documentary but now he is back - The problem is that he is tight for money and needs some financial incentive to finish my Commercial as quickly as possible. Otherwise he needs to concentrate on paid work.
(This is a freebie project he is working for nothing. So if I want it finished quickly then I pay up.)
So the choice for me to make was quite simple -
I offered him a number and he said yes.
Some things are more valuable than money - and getting my showreel finished is a LEVEL 1 priority. If I am to demonstrate my passion and talent - I need to actually put this in to action - and that is by making the type of sacrifices I have been making - and this is just another one of them.
The small problem is that because of the delays I have kind of lost my way with my showreel and lost a lot of focus and momentum.
Once it is finished I will be at a step in my career and life that I have never been before. And I look forwards to it.
I just need to refocus myself and concentrate on the important things I need to do.
Success is in no way automatically guaranteed - BUT - I will officially be able to offer my services as a Commercials and Music Videos Director. And FROM that point I need to re-learn and re-build my life until I do achieve the success I am working for.
Peace and Love
