"Kill your little darlings!"
Fat chance! I gave the rough edit of the video I had agreed ( reluctantly) to make for a friends exhibition in France a week ago and suggested she reduce it by at least five minutes.
No she couldnt bring herself to part with her images, in fact she wanted more added at which point I got all frosty and uptight and said"no way".
Yet this is the stage where you have to be ruthless:"kill your little darlings!" was how one tutor at Glasgow School of Art summed it up; painful but necessary.
