One of my favorite things about DVDs and Blu-Rays movies are the bonus features - making of featurettes, bloopers deleted scenes and director/actor commentaries. A favorite is the deleted scenes from This is Spinal Tap. The scenes were put together in chronological order, and the running time is around an hour. The great thing about that particular collection of deleted scenes, is that it is actually a nearly perfect alternate version of the movie. Where as the original move is a satirical, somewhat light-hearted look at the heavy metal scene of the 80's , the deleted scenes paint a dark bitter picture of the times. Still funny, mind you, but VERY dark.
I often start projects with one very distinct idea of where it will go, only to have it change during the course of working on it. Sometimes this is a good thing..sometime...not so much. Regardless, I do my best to see the projects to a point of completion. That is the key. Too often, when something is working out the way you expect it to, you bail out.
Although it may not always be achievable, my goal in life is to not leave things 'half done'.
The best example of this is
