  1. I'm not actually going to steal anyones idea though. I will just talk to the tutors about my absolute lack of ideas and inspiration and see if they can piece together something.

    1. @scoot I don't think I have any actual original ideas, but in case it serves as any kind of inspiration, here is a thing I made for one of my Uni assignments http://fav.me/d8qg3tj

      1. @ellistia That's cute and I like it. My tutors do not like cute much though, hence my inability to make an idea they give the go ahead

        1. @scoot Well they sound like sucky tutors. What's the point of giving basically no criteria if they're just gonna say no to stuff they don't like

          1. @ellistia They're very intelligent and my course is one of the top in the country, but they are very bad in this one particular area. They really just like weird or abstract films

        2. @scoot That reminds me of a story my friend recently told me about one of her art classes where one of her classmates drew a cute Pikachu on the chalkboard before the class began and when the professor walked in and saw it she drew a massive "X" over it yelling "THIS! ISN'T! ART!" with every stroke of the chalk..

          1. @northernnarwhal OK they are nowhere near this insane. They just say "This film won't work". They don't go berserk about it. (That tutor is clearly damaged in some way)

            1. @scoot From what I've heard that wasn't that tutor's first breakdown either, they're apparently really prone to irritation

              1. @northernnarwhal Makes me feel a bit better about my predicament I guess.

                1. @scoot I hope you end up thinking of a film idea too. Who knows, maybe you'll end up letting yourself work outside your comfort zone and do something you didn't realize you could before.

                  1. @northernnarwhal Possibly. I really need something solid if I'm betting my final grade on it though, so some level of familiarity has to be present.

                    1. @scoot I guess the only advice I can really give is to look back on your previous work and maybe have people you trust look back on your previous work as well and try to highlight your artistic strengths and weakness, then focus on creating new works that highlight your strengths.
