Project 25 (original) (raw)

I've decided to repost the stuff I wrote in the bio as an entry

Earlier this year I decided that I was going to make a film.

As one of my friends has set themselves a deadline to release their first album by their 30th birthday, I've decided to set myself a deadline of my 30th Birthday to get it (mostly) finished.

So far I have made very little progress. I decided to create this LJ to allow you guys to follow my progress and kick my arse when I fall behind cause I'm playing too much Guildwars (gw_dnrc FTW).

What I want to add to this is that while I will indeed be looking for a fair bit of help from a number of folk, I will choose the people I want help from when I need it. I'm not going to play favourites on this, if I decide that someone can provide more valuable input in a certain stage of the production than you, it doesn't mean I hate you. I'm not going to go into reasons why I've picked certain folk to help with certain bits, hopefully it will be obvious but in many cases it may not be.

Additionally to the above the buck stops with me. I will not be overruled. I may be persuaded, but not overruled. The exceptions to this are: 1) safety issues - anybody is free to stop any activity if they think its not safe. and 2) if I'm told something isn't possible or can't be done, then we'll just have to take a step back and see if its possible to work around the issue or if something else will have to change etc. If something is possible and can be done a certain way, then that's the way it will be done.

Next up, the budget for this is zero. I'm planning on buying a camera, but not a hellishly expensive one, and that's it.

I'm happy to answer questions on the above, I just want to get all that clear up front as I want everyone to understand this is a dictatorship of sorts and I don't want to fall out with anybody over this.

No room for primadonnas on this ship. Except me. ;-)
