T1: Ha, okay la. Kau editor, kau director, kau producer, kau assistant director, kau assistant editor.
T2: Aku pulak. Kau yang lebih-lebih. Producer nak jadi, director nak jadi. Habis orang lain?
Ahh.. the love I see at the computer lab. This kindof things do happen but this is the first time in my 3 years in the university that it happened so blatantly and in full public view.

Chill ladies.

The thing is from what I see, people pursue all this titles not because they really think they fit the bill. Rather, it is to safeguard themselves and to show that they did the most job. Or so I guess. Some people are like The Apprentice's project leader. They wanted to do everything because they have this idea and don't really trust other people to execute it other than themselves. Both are a no-no.

I am blessed to have great teammates for production. I enjoy working with them and I don't see myself going with another team anytime soon. At this point, everyone should already have their own stable team. The thing with the 'roles' when doing a college work is that it is only a small portion of the real work. If the editor only wants to edit and the director only wants to direct and the producer just sits around and make phonecalls. Who's going to set up the camera and the tripod as well as operating them while holding a boom?

My stable team is a team that does everything together; preproduction, production and post. A team that is always there when desicions are need to be made and a team that each member have a fair say of things. Most of the time we only discuss about when the editing is done and we need to type in the credits. That is my team.

Experiment people. You can't always work with your friends.
