The scoreboard falls silent as I hear my breath argue with my fear again and again,
The scoreboard falls silent as I can listen for any form, or any timing, and small chances that comes along the way,
The scoreboard falls silent as the mirror grows kind, “To learn here, not to sulk.”
The scoreboard falls silent as I write the plan, continue with progression but never to complaint…
Larger frames loom over me, and tempt me to switch games for easier wins ahead,
Larger frames loom over me, but I choose to film, to questions, and drills over my pride,
Larger frames cast a shadow over me, and I meticulously observe my hips, feet, and eyes for discernible patterns,
Larger frames used to intimidate me, but once I learned more, I realized they’re just ordinary people too…
Film study allows me to slow down the truth and examine it in frames that my ego would otherwise overlook,
Film studies employ all rounded circles, notes, and subtle changes that remain unnoticed by others,
Film study addresses the fundamental aspects of shooting, including timing, grip, right exit, and re-entry techniques,
Through consistent film study and practice, viewers develop a deep understanding and proficiency in the art of life in cinema…
Under pressure, patience is strengthened; I rest just enough to repeat the sequence tomorrow flawlessly,
Under pressure things get tough, our confidence stays strong and keeps pushing us to keep trying,
Under pressure some of the load strengthens our humility that asks help early, gives credit by name,
Under pressure, the heart strengthens its ability to maintain its rhythm even in the absence of external acknowledgement…
Excellence seeks out toward the tests that measure life’s reality, not life’s comfort or pose,
Excellence seeks out toward the craft itself- through early mornings, late night notes, and honest self criticism,
Excellence seeks out opponents who expose the truth and invite your personal growth towards perfection,
Excellence anticipates the future with a composed demeanor and a well-thought-out plan towards your wanted future…
Welcome the harder game
Study first, then drill non-stop
Strengthen under load
Keep credit honest
Proceed in the direction of the hill.
