Blogging Around

Spencer explained how the best thing he learned during one week of class was that good things take time. He used great examples from the movie Avatar, and its long process, as well as the Harry Potter series.

My comment on Spencer's Blog:

This is super interesting, ONE... because I didn't know that Avatar took 10 years to make and two, because I couldn't agree more with your discovery of the week.
For a movie to this extreme, of course it took a lot of money like you mentioned. That's one factor that made it so unique and creative.
I totally agree with that. I always knew that good things take time, but I guess I never really paid much attention to how much time can really impact a piece of work.
 
Elyse on the other hand, talked about how she is more productive at night. When she did her first mindbook entry, she waited until late at night before it was due, and realized that her mind is more creative in the evening when she is exhausted.

My comment on Elyse's Blog:

So reading this blog really opened my eyes to how you think and what your mind is really like. I never knew this was how you thought and how you work best. I guess it was also a discovery for you as well. I just read Spencer's blog and he wrote about how good things take time, but now I see the other end of that statement in your blog, I kind of like it. Maybe it's just that having a smaller amount of time will force you to get your mind fully engaged in the project and able to create such beautiful work. It seems that in past experiences of mine, cramming for a test or doing a project late sometimes seems to result in more productivity, or even a higher grade. I'll have to test this out in the near future.
