Hey world,
An interesting thing happened today… we were in the middle of a story meeting about a new show we are developing… as we were through with the discussion with the top boss and all was agreed upon, we decided to take a break and then get back to discuss the characters…
all was going well and then my intelligent boss decided to prove his mettle… he dragged us into a needless argument regarding one of the characters. everyone besides him has a consensus on it and he simply refused to budge form his black and white world where everyone had to be at the extreme end of the spectrum…pitch black or spotless white…
we all refused to give up and kept holding our fort till he gave in…
basically the point he was trying to make was that every character should have a great motivation in their life or he is a useless… our point was that there are many such characters who are happy like they are and dont necessarily have a great plan for life…but that is what makes them interesting and complex characters to work with…especially when we are moving away from stereotyped characters..
what is your opinion???
Cheers till later…

Hey World,
its been a few weeks of a happiness for me and my colleagues at work…yes our dear boss was away on a much deserved holiday…
and now he is back…and the minute he stepped in, the air in the office became sickly…
wonder what he is composed of…just refuses to be reasonable at any stage… and it just becomes more and more difficult for anyone to work with him…
to begin with he has a lot of baggage of being a so called experienced hand and having been there done that… he is very adamant about his point of view and cant bear someone making a suggestion that does not endorse his own point, an attitude that only lead to frustration and stagnation in a creative process. to add to tha, he is abusive and disrespectful, has poor memory so conveniently forgets what he tells others… and finally is very insecure about everything and everybody…
just this weekend, he made us run around to send him some documents sent to his house… but when we sent them he very conveniently forget about them and on the monday morning he declared that he had not received any documents… then he wanted me print it promptly just then and there… so ridiculous i must say…
in my organisation they think i am the one who handles him best but after three and a half months and many conversations later… I can easily say that working with a person like this is a serious problem and can be a very painful experience…
Cheers!
