Talented people are an inspiration.  Sounds obvious, doesn't it?  It's easy to forget though, and this week has been a handy reminder for me.  I've spent most evenings, and one day, in the company of a crew of filmmakers, most of whom are impressively passionate about the work they're doing.  They've been afflicted with all kinds of difficulties, most of which haven't really been under their control, and they've risen above them, got on with the job, worked around, and still managed to have that commitment to quality which is so infectious and powerful.  Given the circumstances they've found themselves in sometimes, it would have been so easy for them to adopt an attitude of "that'll do", but it hasn't happened yet.

Unsurprisingly, I'm enjoying working with them immensely, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the final result, and hoping just as much that the opportunity arises to work with most of them again.
