Every filmmaker aspires to be their best at film making, and reach a goal where they feel satisfied with their skill. Sadly, we will never live up to our expectations.
Everyone is always in a constant battle with themselves when they work on projects. A feeling overwhelms you saying to yourself that you are doing a bad job. As you learn more as a filmmaker you start to understand more and more of what makes a film good. This makes it harder and harder for you to appreciate your own work and move towards those expectations you have set for yourself. This lack of motivation and inability to enjoy your projects makes it hard for you to work. This causes you to procrastinate and possibly close you project before it is finished.
To overcome this is not an easy task, but the easiest way is to not focus on how the film affects you or your career. Focus on how it will affect your audience, and how it will affect your peers. Additionally don't compare yourself with others, you will never be able to accept that you are getting better while comparing your work to theirs.
Interesting article! Finding ways to overcome disappointment in yourself is very hard. By far focusing on how your films affect your peers rather than yourself would be the most effective way to see how good your work actually is! Definitely seeing what other people think is the best way to improve yourself.
