Done is best

Yesterday I reluctantly forced myself to shoot a short scene. I wasn't prepped enough, I didn't have a lot of time, but I still did it.

And funny enough, I got what I needed. maybe I could have done more but I did what is necessary and got what is needed.

Obviously, some scenes need a lot of prep but not every shot is equal except for the fact that they all need to get done.

Of course, no one wants to half ass their movie; but some shots (eq. an insert of washing dishes) might not need a full emotional arc and hours of preparation.

Just a thought.
