That’s a great mantra for filmmakers! Here’s a breakdown of what it means:
“One More Little Step” represents the small, incremental actions you take every day to move closer to your goal. These steps might seem insignificant on their own, but they add up over time.
“Gets You Closer to the Big Goal” reminds you that every small step is a step in the right direction. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the enormity of your goal, but focusing on the small steps makes it feel more achievable.
As a filmmaker, this mantra can apply to various aspects of your journey, such as:
Writing: One more page, one more scene, one more draft.
Pre-production: One more location scout, one more casting call, one more permit secured.
Production: One more shot, one more take, one more setup.
Post-production: One more edit, one more color grade, one more sound mix.
Remember, every small step brings you closer to realizing your vision. Keep pushing forward, and the big goal will become a reality!
