How many videos do you scrap?

I rarely scrap projects; some I just put on hold until I'm ready to deal with them, which make take a good while.

I try not to scrap projects. Anything that I know isnt gona turn out well I try and finish anyway. Its good practice.

I drop most videos at the notepad stage.
If I decide to do something... I do it and don't quit.
Thats just the way I edit.. I started it and I'm finishing it.

I scrap a lot of ideas before I even start them, but otherwise, I don't scrap many videos in production. Basically, if I actually have the drive to even start it, I'll probably finish it. Eventually. In two years. ;P

And you'd laugh at some of the INSANE ideas. =p

If you ever do take pictures, post them here. I'd love to see somthing like that, especially from one of the older (org-wise) editors.

Either I'm insane or my post disappeared. I distinctly remember replying this to thread and talking about driving and storyboarding. I think...

Depends on what you mean by "scrap".

In general though, I scrap maybe 1/3 of videos I attempt. Every time this was not because the idea sucked, but because of my own technical reason (usually because I'm not 'good' enough to pull of certain effects or type of editing; but once I actually did drop a video because I realized that I could do it much better if I started from scratch because I learned how I could edit it better - but I never got around to re-doing it...)
