Skill, Idea, and Commitment

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

In my world of filming making, there are three things I value the most:
Skill, Idea and Commitment.

Skill can be learned, can be practiced.
Idea also can be learned, can be brainstormed.
But commitment cannot be achieved unless you have really committed.

Commitment means being responsible, positive and passionate to me.

I honestly love to work with anyone who is committed to the project; even they have no ideas or skills at all. Creative partner can be fun to work with, but skillful partner sometimes will be a great pain.

Skill, Idea and Commitment represent

Talent, Luck and Effort

I think they are increasingly important in order.

quote from 明報 5/5/07
「好演員不是一出道就學人嚴選劇本,他們起初都是不介意演任何角色,與不同的導演合作。不同的是在取得足夠經驗之後,有些演員不思進取,愈演愈滑頭,對自己愈來愈無要求。有進步的演員,會自我提升,與質素高的幕前幕後合作,對自己愈來愈有要求。」

That is the correct attitude for everyone in any fields.
