Are you a creative perfectionist?

Postby sidd finch » Tue Sep 18, 2018 11:49 am

Are you striving for perfection in you quest to create? I came across the article that gave perfectionism some unique insight.

Many makers of media are hard-wired to be detail oriented. After all, to make great media, you need to notice small details that others might not see. Some editors geek out over finding and fixing flash-frame errors and adjusting edit points with painstaking precision. This sort of hyper-attentiveness to minute details can be a good thing in one sense. By noticing fine details, editors can hone cuts to create sequences that flow flawlessly and effectively engage viewers. At an extreme, however, overly critical cutters can fall into the dangerous pit of perfectionism.

Psychology Today refers to perfectionism as, “…a fast and enduring track to unhappiness” that is “often accompanied by depression.

Maybe no one else would notice, but I would know it. Video editing and website creation. Aaaargh! And I'm not very good at either. :pull:

That is my curse. I always go in with the highest of hopes and excitement of trying something new then afterwards the nit-pick gene kicks in and am frustrated I could not have done a better job....
