I'm trying to control myself.
You see, I tend to get excited about things, and then when the rubber meets the road I realize I don't have as much time to put into things as I would like. It's a classic problem in business -- you talk a lot, but you never get stuff done. I could tell you of countless companies that fail this way.
So for this semester project, as much as I can see a vision of something earth-shattering and awesome, reality is we will be coming up on finals, and we will be busy.
But I would like to see a wide variety of people coming together, each using his or her various skills (as discussed in class) to contribute something unique to one project. Maybe the whole class won't join in, but I love the diversity that the class showed. so...
The big idea
(It hurts me to say it like that... I'm an entrepreneur who doesn't pitch ideas without traction and loads of research, but...)
We could create either a trailer for a documentary or a very short documentary -- a "the making of" a fictional Shakespeare film (that would be the project had we infinite resources). You can show how x produced a song, or y producing the storyboard (yes, I just reduced names to mathematical variables).
Simple, could go a lot of different ways, room for creativity, feasible.
I was thinking something along those lines would be great, too. If I could, I'd like to be "x" and produce music--I've actually got a few little tunes already composed (but they do need more parts, harmony, & length); I just don't know who would perform them or how we'd record them, etc. so it might be more realistic to use already-existing music as a background for most or all of our project.
