Details
I gotta say that the amount of details we've put into this 48-hour film challenge is scary. Matching costumes, ID badges, a secret pen to hold microchips...it's gonna be crazy. If Josh doesn't at least get a 2nd or 3rd for Best Cinematography, I'll be peeved.

suck my socks Brock Huck,
this is a progressive message by Marco.

Your post about the all the production stuff, like going big but having to choose the second option if things don't work out for the first idea, you need to stop that way of thinking now, while you're in school. There is no second choice for you at this point
in my opinion, you're not taking risks, experiment and more importantly research. there's a bunch of other kids out there that could kick your ass, but you can turn it around on them and spout out how you did this and this by doing that, oh yeah with no money.
if you want that big idea to go through, make it work with what you got, no money, major restrictions, not enough extras, GOLD. Sounds like money to me.
MOST important, I told you before, FAIL in doing something you believe in and not pleasing teacher/peers. Try and fail. It's the only way to learn.
I just see myself a few years ago. I needed that basic training - i sucked at design. i learned from failure, my past designs, school designs, i should have failed out of school if they were a real art school.
i learned from other people, Kevin, older/wiser designers, they shaped me and opened up my eyes. "oh you can get this fantastic paper and you print it like this to get that effect and it's super cheap."
i want you to see NOW that there's different "paper" out there. i want you to open your eyes in a new way. i don't want this feeling to happen to you when you're done with school and be like i could've done that if only i had known about that sooner.
the only way you can do that is to look for that new paper, that new effect that doesn't cost anything just somebody to show you, track down somebody in phx that knows what the heck they're doing, cling to them from then on.
i don't know if you will follow my rant but let me know if you can decifer this
you know i'm proud of you but i want to see you really try for something, i don't care if your teacher says this or that, do it, let them give you feed back after the fact. however, they will see that you were really trying something, really pushing forward in your growth or really finding your style, your grade will come from that
in fact forget about grades, they don't exist, if you fail a class because you didn't follow the requirements exactly Feel damn proud and go at it again.
i want to get you excited but you're in this safe mode, get out of it while you have the chance
the real world is nothing but safe
school is the only place you can really try to push.

Good points Alex. I appreciate the brotherly advice. I am trying my best, but maybe you're right.
At any rate, I'm no longer worried about grades, so you don't have to fear that.
Dear Tundo,
Perhaps you could come down from that high horse you're sitting on to address this:
Maybe it's just me, but I find that people who judge others so harshly must be doing pretty damn well for themselves to have any sort of moral authority.
Is that how it is with you?
If not, I would suggest you leave people to fend for themselves. They are, believe it or not, thinking individuals.
It's not that I don't agree with some of your points. In fact, I think some of your general observations are spot-on, if not for Brock's case in particular. It's just that I find your choice of words borders on condescension and your timing is frankly either poor or just plain unthoughtful.
I'm sure you had the best intentions, but I was really bothered by how you came off.
It's kind of tasteless to rain on someone's parade and try to "school" them in such a "father knows best" manner, especially as a reply to a post where they express happiness over what they've accomplished.
Don't you think?
