Your visual voice it’s a combination, of what you love, motivates you, what breaks your heart, and what you want to say. It’s so much deeper than a look. What colors do you love what landscapes motivate, what injustice breaks your heart, what do you want the world to find from your art. These are arrows leading you of your voice.
The bad idea wall is my favorite creative tool. Literally get post it notes and stick them on the wall, anybody in the room can add an idea with no judgement. Bad ideas lead you to the best idea. Being afraid to say something stupid kills the creative process. Creativity requires safe spaces.
work hard, love people, always create
Consume what you want to create, then go create
everyone is creative, it’s what makes us human. I promise you are more creative than you think
Don’t worry so much, if its bad nobody’s gonna see it
Decisions made in fear are almost always mistakes
You can’t escape the voice of the director. Look at any film and you will learn about the film maker. But if you want heart, joy, authenticity, hope, playfulness, fun, honest, vibrant, inspiring, humanity, and world building that’s what I love to make.
If you are dark, jaded, cynical, crass, this will all come out in your creativity’s. I can’t do any of those things well because that’s not me.
creativity is like surfing, Paddle out into the ocean as often as you can and try to catch a wave. When you catch one ride it as far and as fast for as long as you can.. All of the little waves you ride will prepare your for the big one. And if you find a spot or a method that works for you. Keep going there. Form a lifestyle of creativity
