Well, I'm all for having big ideas, maybe I've been doing this long enough to know what most of us can do with our "non-professional" resources. Sure, some excellent changes can be made, Adywan proved that already, but some things suggested are just not going to happen. Being realistic shouldn't be conflated with being a killjoy, that's not my intention, I just think so much of the talent around here could/should be focused on achieving things that are feasible.

I think its a better attitute to think "how could this be done?" instead of "this can't be done" before even attempting something. yeh, sure there are things that possibly couldn't be done at the moment but who's to say what someone will come up with around the corner?

Don't forget that in 1975, when a young film-maker wanted to do his space opera there were no effects houses that were capable of putting his ideas on screen or the technology to do it. But he had the attitude of "how can this be done" and look what we got. Many of the techniques used had to be developed especially for that movie. It only takes 1 person to come up with a solution to a seemingly impossible task .
