Just finished a really tough one week project last night and finally got the chance to sit down, reflect on what happened.
You guys pulled off a project where we were seriously understaffed (thanks jie jie), with a super vague brief, some unreasonable request, and ever-changing schedule and instructions. And you guys pulled it off beautifully.
It was not smooth sailing all the way through but now looking at the full picture, I thank God for everything that happened, good or bad.
I feel so blessed to have people who rush down in the middle of the day at a call to help out. Those who just bring down extra equipment so that work runs smoothly without even talking about money.
I thank God for an awesome group of crew that understands that things keep changing and is willing to accommodate. To those who did all possible for our client and went above and beyond of your brief and still report back with a smile, I am so thankful for your smiles guys, I needed it. even though some of you got manhandled in the process.
I thank God especially for my mad editing team, all geniuses in their field, you pulled off the impossible and did it with such style grace and patience, keeping me sane while doing your job late into the night without taking a break even though I keep forgetting to feed you guys. The 3 of you are really my MVP.
Now looking at all the unfortunate things that happened, it cemented so many professional relationship that is already there and built new ones as well. I have learnt so much from this and am surprised of the amount of stress I can take.
Taking multiple bullets for my crew is something that I am willing to do, but I wondered if what I did was the best course of action for my company and reputation when I was instructed to fire my one of my team on the spot.
That being said, at the end of the day, I am grateful for everyone who was there from the first day till the last day. Most importantly, I cannot express my thanks and gratefulness for my usual core team, ‘The Sessionists’. You guys are champs as usual. We have grown much over the years and I’m excited at what the future can bring. I am so grateful to be part of this alliance. ❤
