Personal Projects? Choices to shoot?

Hi everyone,

Over the last year, my body of work has been building up based on projects for Uni. At the moment I'm concluding my final projects for the year, based on Prejudice and Censorship.

Does anyone else run personal projects either for your own enjoyment or for hopes for exhibition or publication? If so what on? If not, what makes you decide what to shoot?

Re: Personal Projects? Choices to shoot?

I have an ongoing one - 'Corners'. It's a very very long story... I've mentioned it here before, so some may remember...

I'm still working on this though!

I totally understand the need to do it too - I've always been the sort to write long essays about books I read, films I watch etc... I'm hoping to write a piece on a film called Enduring Love... it was fantastic, and very inspiring.

Re: Personal Projects? Choices to shoot?

Both sound good I wish sometimes that the things I shoot don't have to be over such a prolonged period of time.
Maybe I'll feel better once all 3 of my projects are concluded tomorrow!
