The five points, for those who don’t want to sit through all 15 minutes:
1) Negativity
2) Criticism
3) Timidity
4) Unclear Communication
5) Fear of talking $$$.
Thanks for listing the 5 things. I only made it through about the first 2 1/2 minutes.
Tell this pussy to turn on the comments on his video. hah hah hah hah
I’m not sure why he asks what we thought and disables comments on YouTube. I do think he is lumping shy people (introverts) with those who lack confidence. Many creative people and introverts. Introverts can be confident, smart, decisive, and talented. They feel more comfortable internalizing things as opposed to an extrovert who may on the extreme end may ramble on excessively without saying anything.
I think he’s reserving the comments for the AEtuts page from which this is from – I’ll add the link.
Oh, thank God it wasn’t just me! I was afraid I was being rude… you should have seen what I originally wanted to write!
Yeah, this is a major waste of valuable FIQ space… I was expecting something useful like “don’t push your original draft too hard” or “don’t let it show that you think your client is an idiot when they ask stupid questions” … that kinda thing… but all it was was essentially “be nice to meeeeee!”
… and it took him 15 minutes to say it!
Bob – but I do consider this incredibly rude.
It’s 15 minutes of a person speaking his mind on basically what his pet peeves are and how he sees the world.
It’s not pre-manufactured, skimmable junk food served by all the bloggers as “filmmaking advice”. It’s just a creative person talking about what bugs him.
If you don’t have the time to spend that’s your problem, not ours.
Agreed!!!!!
My biggest pet peeve, NOT RESPONDING TO EMAILS. God that pisses me off. He likened it to the recipient hating the video. In my case it seems to come off as sheer arrogance.
Great listen. These are definitely things I can see in myself from time to time and they do effect my ability to work with certain people. When you’re just starting out learning things like this are invaluable.
