Too Much

     So how much is too much? When is a good point to step back and say 'Ok, that's enough hooba dooba'. As someone who has witnessed this happen in the past, I thought it best to go over it today, and share my thoughts. Without further ado, let's head on in.

     For starters,  we always have too much being added to a film, picture, etc. While this might come up to opinion for most people, let's not deny we tend to be weary if something is too long. I find still images aren't as bad in this category,  as you can take the time to really see all it has. Granted, the size if the image could make the extra detsild hard to see if it's to small.

     Another example I want to bring up however, is to much of the same thing. It could be a plot, an overabundance of anniversary specials, whatever. At some point, people will notice, and loose interest.  I guess a good example here is The Simpsons. While it will always be considered a classic, let's be honest here, most people probably dropped off halfway through.

        While ambition can be admired, and lasting long will gain respect, it's always important to know when to stop. Deadlines exist, as do technical limitations. Another thing that exists is your body, and the time of others. Don't force out something that's super grand if it puts damage on you; remember that your audience, and any others you work with, need to be acknowledged. You don't always need to go big or go home. With that said, thank you once again for reading, and stay tuned!
