I have had several dozen people offer comments and suggestions regarding the work in progress. Many offered such suggestions as kicking up the vocals on certains slides, letting certain photos remain on the screen longer, etc., and they have been very helpful. Thanks for your input. After all you are seeing it with a fresh set of eyes. I have been making changes on a daily basis and the little things are what make a huge difference in the production.
Then you get the other set...I had one person suggest drastic changes; remove ALL the motion from the documentary. No panning, absolutely no effects, etc. It's those kind of suggestions that I have to remember to take with a grain of salt. As hubby says, maybe they should create their own documentary. I must keep in mind that I cannot possibly make everyone happy; that's impossible.
A fine balance must be kept while working on a project like this. Most of the time it's easy, then there are moments when you think; am I going about this the right way? So I try to keep an open mind to suggestions/criticisms, but I also have to remember that it is MY project and to throw some things right out the window and not to let them get me down and kill the creative process.
Okay, back to work...
