The illustration of my concept being very abstract, I wasn't expecting everyone to get it since I was in the middle of it. Personally i dont like when someone judges me in the middle of an uncompleted project. Because it is very hard to understand something so abstract in the middle of the process.
When I got the results of what the instructors thought of my concept I got an overall "No" for the grade. This didn't mean that I should not continue working on the concept, but rather that it needs a lot of refinement inorder to be accepted as a senior thesis. While some instructors actually took the time to go through the concept and constructively criticize it, couple of them just judged the piece on what they saw the first time. Which is understandable. Just like anyone else who is viewing the video for the first time, the insight from the professors were really helpful. At the same time, it was frustrating too since I was not done with refining the execution of the concept and the abstract elements needed much work before anyone could make any sense of it.
Basically I have a lot of refining to do. Especially because the whole piece is based on juxtaposing extreme sports motions/action on to an abstract environment which follows a narration of someone going from being ordinary to extraordinary.
