Sketch a Day

I struggle with perfectionism. Add to that my time is usually really crunched. I have a couple of unfinished projects on my computer. It's not that I'll never finish them, it just that it takes enough time for me to settle on what they are as opposed to what I wanted them to be. When I reach that point I really have no problem slashing and burning through them.

There's something I used to do when I first started picking up a camera. I would call, "Ed Wood Style", meaning that whatever happens is in the flick. Even if half the set falls down on top of you, it's one take and done. Naturally this was done with comedies so we didn't have to take these failures so seriously. But this idea could apply to other genres, as long as the information that is needed to continue the plot is in some way expressed.

I'd really like to adopt the sketch a day concept. Maybe I'll find something I can film and have finished at least once a week.
