A Wolf’s Thoughts

This is another rant about school. About how stupid some people can be. Or just how stubborn I am. You can take a pick of which it is when you’ve finished reading.

 Well, a few days ago, we were in Media Arts class, and we had to come up with an idea for our next video to produce. Well…my group had no real ideas. But I had one, and I offered it up. Of course, it was just a few little thoughts of mine that seeped onto a lined piece of paper, and I understood when they said that they didn’t understand.

And so, I took the idea home with me, and gave some thought to it. I even wrote it up for about 2 hours in a kind-of story format, so there was no possible way that they wouldn’t understand. I come to them and let them read the draft the next day…and they were hardly pleased. All they really said was “This is too hard”. Really. That’s it.

I had everything pieced together, except for one little part. I could see it all playing through my head. I knew exactly what needed to be done to get the project done. And they say it’s too hard. The thing had an incredible story compared to others seen in that class from last semester. I had ALL the scenes planned out. All the vocals. Even the songs to put the video to! And they claim it was too freaking HARD?!

 I just left. Because what they said was just so rediculous. Again, I’m thrown with the lazy group. And like I said, I wasn’t going to do all the work. I didn’t push it any further.

Basically(if you don’t understand, let me give you the full synopsis thing), it was about this “shadow” person. We start with him in a dark room, with evening light seeping into the window, and making eerie shadows on the ground. Things we could just get by spending one day at someone’s house. Well, the creature explains that he wasn’t always like a shadow. He was a good person, but temptation lured him to being bad. And as hard as he tried, he could never get away from the evil.

There’s more detail to it, for sure. Again, everything’s been planned already.

All I’m thinking is. Why are you guys just going to settle for something that’s satisfactory, when we’ve got a crisp piece of work to work with right here? They want to do a biking video. That’s all they know so far. rant

Seriously? You guys don’t even have any idea what you’re doing.

And don’t expect my help. My ideas are crap, remember?

 And so, TheJakeman has kindly agreed to do the video with me. If it doesn’t happen, that’s alright. Because I know that he’s still appreciating the effort I put into making this thing up.

My group made me feel so insulted. I live to create stories.
