Perfectionist

Sometimes being a perfectionist delays the productivity of your work, this is a catch 22 right here.
see i pride myself on making sure that whatever i do i do the the best capability and work with what i have (as i self fund and have a limited budget) nether the less my creativity has to be 100%
I class myself as a producer, whether it is within film or music but more importantly a motivator, at the moment the industry is saturated with talent beyond belief but with the talent most (and this is with experience) lack direction, experience and motivation, its a typical case of books verses balls (my terminology).
Let me explain, a lot of smart (not necessary just educated) are ruled by what they have read whilst other have learned via trial and error, both are fundamental but if you don't have common sense your in a fail, fail situation, secondly you must treat every negative with a positive, let me explain or better yet give you an example.
Your a music producer and you are working with a artist that you know is good but can be better but is not living up to the dream that you in visioned, how are you going to turn it around?
The answer is very simple once you remove your arragance from the equation. always remember no one is better than anyone else and your never to old to learn something new.
so you still begging for the answer?
pay attention.
First find the the qualities that you liked, these will be the qualities that drew you to the person in the first place, then mould the person, use encouragement, you cannot keep telling a person "i dont like it do it again" you get nowhere beating someone down. there is nothing wrong saying you dont like something but tell them why, teel them what you need to see, give an example (even if you cant sing/rap/act use artist or actors as a reference) compare your artist to a artist they know (not to imitate but to encourage and feel the vibe of that artist/actor) once you have done this your artist will feel more motivated and will follow your lead, your productivity will increase and you will be rewarded.
you reward will be seeing your creativity become a relality.

so whats the reason for this blog? sick of people who just because they make music/film think they can speak to people a certain way, big deal your can make music or a film but there is more to a producer than the name producer.
