I personally love working in teams. Some of my best memories have been created because of teamwork. Wether it be organising within a group of friends to road trip to a music festival, or working on short films, they’ve all been rewarding. So I don’t have a problem getting split up into a team to work on our next project. Sure I could have just gotten lucky, but I think it comes down to you and your attitude towards what you’re doing. Sometimes it does get a bit sticky in the midst of everything, I remember the first short film I worked on. My mate was returning to Orange from Sydney to shoot his major project. He brought down his whole crew and gear, we all crashed at his house and everyone was so happy to be there. Energy levels did start to drop over the 5 day shoot, until we got this frame that is…
Everyone was so stoked on the shot, especially Eli (Director). I remember him saying that this is definitely a huge step forward in his directing career. In saying this, I think that small goals should be celebrated regularly to keep intensity high when collaborating with people.
