Recently i've had some ideas for a couple of short films that I want to make in the next couple of years (when I find the time). I have thoughts, and ideas whizzing around in my brain, but what I really have to do soon is get all this down on paper.
Turning an idea into something has rarely been taught to me by others, i've always just done it and learnt from experience, whether it was for music or for a Multimedia project at Uni. Today however, i've been reading some great advice and guidelines to confidently taking those ideas and turning them into reality.
Phil Willis, 5 steps on his blog, which aim to have you ready to move forward with a project.
- Flesh out your idea
- Find feedback
- Finish it
- File it
- Forget about it
AWFUL IDEA = -1
WEAK IDEA = 1
SO-SO IDEA = 5
GOOD IDEA = 10
GREAT IDEA = 15
BRILLIANT IDEA = 20
NO EXECUTION = $1
WEAK EXECUTION = $1000
SO-SO EXECUTION = $10,000
GOOD EXECUTION = $100,000
GREAT EXECUTION = $1,000,000
BRILLIANT EXECUTION = $10,000,000
To make a business, you need to multiply the two.
The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20.
The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000.
Finally, Nick Campbell posted some great advice on his blog about how he gets a project done under the deadline time constraints that worry us all.
So hopefully you could find this information as useful as I do. It has prompted me to flesh out my ideas soon and i'll post them up on here at a later date for feedback.
