HBS New Year's Resolutions

[Brad Jefferson]

Now is the time of year that I try and set some goals for myself for the coming year.  But, NOT too many since I sometimes lapse on a task/goal if I get overwhelmed during the year. Maybe I can accomplish more tasks at the 100% level, as opposed to partially completing it and moving on to something else -- which happens just once in a while .

I live for deadlines.  When pressured to accomplish a task, the thing that moves me the best is a deadline.  From this deadline I can schedule or make a timeframe on which to achieve the goal.  Hence, the topic here of New Year’s Resolutions.

In the spirit of HBS, these are the goals that I would like to (no, I mean, WILL!) accomplish in 2006:

1.   Build ONE tool/rig (maybe more) to support video production:  like a small portable dolly and track system; a skater-type dolly.

2.   Produce a local music video that actually uses at least one of my new tools.

3.   Produce a short video for the HBS Sponsored Project (anyone remember this topic?) using any/all of the home-built tools/rigs of mine or other local HBS talent.

Just 3 goals, but hopefully achievable for me with my busy work schedule.  Now, I must print this out and post it so that I don’t forget.

Keep the ideas flowing, the tools & rigs building, and the conversation dynamic and enlightening.

Best regards for all HBS-ers in the new year!

Hmmmm.... New Years goals.......

For me, I think mine are pretty much the same as yours, though I already have a dolly/track, a jib, and a steadicam rig. I don't know what else to build.. And we just shot a music video using my crane, which should be streaming soon. So, I guess these would be my resolutions:

1) Produce a music video with my steadicam.----We are running a local battle of the bands, in competition for a free music video, in which we are hoping to garner some additional production $.

2) Produce my HBS short... Everythin gets in the way...bills, women, jobs....all get in the way, ya know.

3) Move Coalition Mediagroup (the production company I helped found) into its own office/studio...

My resolutions are simple.

To learn (getting harder each year, the old dog is having troubles)
To grow...
To become better,
To be able to 'make a difference.'

A Happy New year... may 2006 bring health and happiness to all
