So as I've gone through two short films doing all the jobs, I've realized my flaws and a little bit of strengths. My flaws definitely outnumber strengths at the moment, and I'm certain I've burned some bridges or hurt some feelings as I go through to the finish line for projects.
How do you all handle your f-ups? Admitting to it is the first step, I know that. I also apologize frequently (maybe too much). Thing is, I really want to learn how to work with people better. Part of that is being able to read the room, and not let your mind wander into immediate frustration or confusion.
I've stepped on toes, gotten aggravated over small things, and always weird with conflict. Flaw after flaw after flaw. But, there is something there... Because people enjoy the project/working on it. People keep volunteering their hard earned time to make sure a project is completed successfully.
Sometimes, the feeling that you could f- it all up overwhelms me. Sometimes I feel really bad about decisions, other times, I don't pay attention at all.
Are all of these things ironed out over time while working in the industry? Is the process more important to perfect than the people?
How do you all balance the line between humility and drive? Between making people who work with you happy, and completing a project successfully?
