seems, sometimes is quite hard to hold yoursef inside terithory  you pointed befor movie production!

Problem is when during production, your character slightly changes, its time for him to get life through hands of animators, but he stoped and screamed : "WAIT! Am i look readdy for your movie?"

And i start to think...mh... maybe let's add this and that here and there.. so after 3 days it's completley different character, but also great one.

God! its so hard.

Time spent on one short movie is huge, and of corse, during this production time your brains and way of thinking evulate. But what to do with all good ideas wich don't fit under inner rules of movie? Or worse - there are some good ideas, and them could make your film more "deeper", but also will cut off a huge piece of simplicity from main idea why this film is made.

How good directors solve this problem? Or they make movies for big screen and simply don't have freedom of independet filmmakers?

any ideas?
