It's about knowing how to go fast effectively.]] - [[You must always prepare, even if the desired outcome is spontaneity]]. - [[How things fit together as a whole is more important than the individual thing itself]]. - [[Always find the fun in making]]. ## Notes - The idea of doing it in a day had simple origins. It started with having something to make and thinking of an interesting way of storytelling the making of it. - (Commercial work). "That kind of work hones you into a speed-making machine". - "[[You don't have a team. It's just you and a glue gun, and there's a whole crew waiting and that crew costs $10,000 a minute.]]" - "Really early on, we discovered that all one day builds go over one day". - It's not about going fast. It's about knowing how to go fast effectively. - [[Going fast effectively relies on rapid iteration and rapid problem-solving]]. - Embrace imperfection in order to finish. - [[You must always prepare, even if the desired outcome is spontaneity]]. - Preparedness helps set the stage for the narrative to play. The rest is up to fate. - Have at least a rough mental framing of how things will come together. Without the sense of integration, you will lose sight of why you're building what you're building in the first place. - [[How things fit together as a whole is more important than the individual thing itself]]. - "[[I think it's great to watch people screw up! I think it's delightful to watch people solve problems.]]" - "I'm thrilled at my own enthusiasm because it's so real". - Give yourself space to indulge in your favourite aspects of making. - Give yourself space to have fun. - [[Always find the fun in making]]. ## Original ![[The one day build concept.
