Back to Scratch
Penguin June 6th, 2008
I spent most of yesterday working on a “slide show” for the Senior Banquet. Senior Banquet is a time where our church celebrates the seniors’ graduation. You can see my previous Senior Banquet videos.
I started off using a rendition of Moonlight Sonata that one of the seniors had composed. But as I watched the earlier rough cut, I was increasingly dissatisfied with it. The pictures were kind of boring, the music was kind of slow, and as I imagined the motion graphics for it, couldn’t get excited about it. The final nail was when I realized I had use a similar theme of moon and sun already.
As difficult as it was, I decided to kill it and start from scratch. I picked new music and brainstormed with Ninja to come up with ideas to frame the pictures.
As difficult as it may be, there are times when you just have to start over. It may mean throwing everything out and rebuilding everything, or it may mean going back to an early draft or iteration. The key is knowing when you should push through with the idea and when you should scrap it. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any easy formulas for this. You just have to trust your gut as you gain experience.
My hope is that my instincts get better with time.
