Ira's Advice



How does Ira's advise relate to what you are going through in the class so far? What are the key points that he mentions in the video? How could they be applied to you? What part of his advise seems helpful?

So far in my creations that I've made, I never had a product that I fully loved. I always had some sort of flaw to critique, some regretful decision I made, etc. It frustrated me that no matter how hard I tried, I was never satisfied with the end product. In the video, he repeatedly emphasized that EVERYONE goes through the phase of being unsatisfied with their work. He also mentioned that successful creators pushed through these times to get to the place they are today. This can be applied to me because occasionally, it feels as though my work will always be unsatisfying. Watching already successful filmmakers can ruin self esteem. However, knowing that even those "successful filmmakers" I see online most likely went through a phase of dissatisfaction encourages me to keep making films.
