In an era in which single creators and small teams can create the kind of work that requires many more people and a well -funded studio resources, Creative often needs to wear several hats to realize their artistic vision. Nevertheless, we insist on classifying their creativity in narrow boxes.
I remember a few years ago in my working life when I infected by working in the world of small, venture capital-funded startups for big companies. Comparing with my previous work experience, this new environment felt incredibly stimulating due to a particular quality that appealed to me all others. With all the projects of any depth or complexity, there were many problems that were required to be solved. But unlike the position of a large organization, where each of them was a specialist, each member of our small team often needed to wear several hats, learn new skills and work to some extent outside our comfort field.
In the same manner, creative projects are often divided into specialties, the number of these and their expertise degree of specialization grows with the size and level of the project formation of the project. But the projects whose projects used to be exclusive domains of deep -pocket corporations, who funded studios and big teams to pursue their creative projects, can now be felt on a very small scale by some people or even a single manufacturer. Films, documentaries and TV shows can be filmed with hybrid cameras or even cell phones. Stunning aerial shots that required a helicopter and a pilot can now be shot using a small drone, which costs only a few hundred dollars.
The phenomenon represents a type of democratization of art, which makes a treasure of expressive opportunities for anyone, with online publication channels such as YouTube, which can be a creative Libra, but lacks funds and resources of a major movie studio or TV network. Many of the state -of -the -art working people on these platforms are effectively single creators who shoot stils and videos, process and edit the work themselves, and even make their own music to go with it.
Creative skills and instincts that reduce these various activities often overlap to a great extent. Somebody who considers himself a videographer mainly, for example, is still going to bring his trained eye and well -touned aesthetic sensitivity into photography.
And it brings us well in the video that I want to share with you today.
“Stay in your lane” Ben Stelli, a professional filmmaker has a time -timing Shekhi, whose channel “Channel” “Adventure and art“I have been a fan for some time. Ben is clearly one of the energetic creatives who always think about many projects and are not afraid to work on any aspect of their production. In this era of creative opportunity, Ben is one of those who like to wear many hats. This field, and yet he still takes somewhat and until somewhat, who still takes part in some special box Want to assign creative.
I already introduced Ben Stell in previous articles, and even if his name is not familiar with you, you have almost seen his work almost. Ben is an award -winning videographer and filmmaker, whose stunning Kalpana is painted in popular TV shows such as “Deadly Catch” and “Ice Road Truck”. As I have already mentioned, Ben is also an excellent still photographer and regularly offers his photography work on his YouTube channel.
Ben’s timber is on time against this tendency to label the creative and I think, important. This is something that he is clearly very emotional, and it is reflected in salty language that he sometimes uses it in the video to express his frustration about it. On one hand, strong language warnings, I think this video provides excellent incentives to anyone who is suffering from a creative identity crisis that can be triggered by others who tell you what they think, or should be.
When it comes to realizing your own personal creative vision, my personal takes on Ben’s message is that you should not be afraid to know what you need to learn or what you need to do, no matter what you are telling you, “possible.”
