Creative Filmaking: Arguments worth having

I particularly liked this reading. It spoke about healthy dynamics with a team. These lessons are hard to learn and takes people sometimes a life time to learn. It is important to surround your self with people on the same page as you. In my opinion when you make a team of any kind it is best to surround yourself with people who are better than you. This creates a higher "average" and pushes the bar for the whole team rather than one oxen pulling the dead weight. Having a good team is important to collaborate. When one person is stuck on their ideas then you lose the potential for creativity and originality. I loved the part where the book talked about the crews end of the year meeting where everyone writes their top 5 worst and best parts of the year. This opens communication to understand everyones role, challenges, and accomplishments. This is brilliant. I can't tell you how many situations on projects or work positions where no one cares about your challenges no matter how big or small. It is important to stay openminded and communicate.
