Creative Minds
Приєднався 5 жов 2018
I'm a video editor, writer and musician who loves making films about process. This creative game has been with me (in both a healthy and slightly obsessional way) for a long time now, and like most people, I still have questions about how to be most effective with that energy. With Creative Minds I hope to help people answer those questions, and bring together a community of creatives to rub together and fuel each other. Love to anyone who's watching - as long as people keep telling me they are getting things from these videos, I'll be here making them. Peeeaaaaceeee.

bro use the french press for tea and get yourself a v60 for coffee so you're not drinking mud at the end and you can enjoy every sip.
I appreciate your work. Thank you for this.
where is the video about not having a creative space?
You’re hella inspiring .
Great as always .
Looking at these vids it always makes me think how hard it is to be yourself. We live in a world where we always want to be on the side of the majority which sometimes may not be the side you yourself truly feel is right. Always want to do things acceptable by the masses. Get the right job, do it a certain way. Make something but make it in a way that everyone else currently likes. It’s not always bad to do these things but i can see the perspective of never truly doing or saying what you want and denying yourself to be who you are. Something I feel like I need personally
thank you so much for making these videos. I have been struggling to produce work I am proud of for some months now. I slowly became obsessed with making songs that would get me recognition and be well received by the public and unknowingly lost all sense of creative freedom and self expression. The pressures of "Making it" began to contaminate my creative process and it got to the point where I have been strongly considering giving up. This video reminded me what the true purpose of making art is and reconnected me to a part of myself I haven't felt in a long time. This isn't the first time one of your videos has affected me in a profoundly positive way and I appreciate you greatly Creative Minds.
I see you are also not on your artist channel lol. what kinda music do you make & what's your channel?
In this way of a quote he really wants everyone to excell in being artists. And music artist's have a balance of being creative while doing business in the music industry.
Which interview is that at 4:50?
Omg. "Essential discomfort"...
11:20 what vid is that again? I forget the artist that is talking to jpegmafia
Great vid btw. Agree with most of it.
1:06 I love this so damn much! That "type beat" stuff did get really damn tiring for a while there lol
I love you mention around 11:00 that sometimes telling our truth sometimes leaves us feeling exposed. I think art in any form takes some level of bravery because in a sense you're baring it all. So thanks in a way for your bravery in telling all these stories and creating all these videos. 💚 and thanks for the shout out!
Beautiful video. Thank you
As always, you have given me a great deal to think about. I am currently working on two novels (focusing on one, while the other percolates in the subconscious) about two very different experiences. I will consider your words. I noticed that deconstruction came up a number of times in this video. I will say that, in VERY small doses, it can be useful; however, if it is given its head, the only result is that everything means nothing. I would recommend you read Mary Kinzie's A Poet's Guide to Poetry. This book made a huge impact on me both as a reader & a writer. I wish you well.
I appreciate that angle - of the result of too much deconstruction and where it can lead. It makes me think of how Rachel Cusk speaks about her writing in lots of her interviews, and how it's obviously something she struggles with and is still unsure about in some terms, even after so much external acclaim. I didn't give myself the space to do it in this video, but there's definitely a discussion on modernism in literature that could've been had here too. I really appreciate this balance you put forward around deconstruction, and it's an interesting thinking point which I'll carry in my head. Thanks for the book recommend too - I will google it now and take a look.
@@creativemindsyoutube My favorite period for fiction is Modernism in general & European Modernism in particular. As in most cases though, there are examples of vastly different works, ranging from the Surrealists to the plotless works such as Musil's Man without Qualities to the very Romp-filled The Master & Margarita of Bulgakov. The degree of experimentation in literature was unparalleled. If you want some (more) input on titles (including literary criticism) just let me know. It's interesting that you talk about Ms. Cusk this week, as The Atlantic has a review of her new book. I can't not see this as a sign & actually buy a contemporary author's work (which is very rare in fiction for me). I know you put a lot of time & effort into your videos. It shows. My only suggestion would be to embrace a longer format. You bring up such thought provoking ideas, it would be great to go a little deeper. I am sure that life & all that entails keeps you busy enough, so I will enjoy what synapses you spark. Have you thought about also presenting these on the Nebula platform? I have no idea how one might go about that, but I think you would be a good fit.
Thanks bro! This struck a chord with me. And it seemed to come along at the right time
Appreciate that, and glad this one could resonate with you. I feel like this topic could be a whole YT channel on its own lol, so hope to make more videos which hit on it, and yeah, thanks for taking the time to support.
I like the evolution of your editing, these videos are becoming much more textured ❤
I appreciate that and I haven't looked at it that way before. I thought this edit was kind of sketchy when I watched it back yesterday, but you're right and that's a nice way to put it and think about it. There's definitely more lines of depth in it with the voice to text stuff and the camera two and different text on screen, so yeah it's great to hear you recognise it and thanks for taking the time to drop the support.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the growing list of supporters at the end. Love to see it. Very much deserved!
That's the first time I see another account with a green "J". So I have to reply. 🤝😂
Your editing skills is pretty good. Art isn't something everyone can do you have to have the mind for it otherwise you'll just create trash
Everybody can do art bro , plus trash is subjective.
@@kiddfire9342 Everybody has the ability to seek to create art, but it takes time, endeavor, practicing the craft, & a lot of work.Yes, it can be subjective. Plenty of people think Warhol is an artist. I see just a plagiarist.
solid one
Gracias! 🫂🙌🏻
I want to know what Mr Neil Gaiman’s answer was, what’s his favorite notebook.
Funny thing is art is my medicine but I don’t feel depression and being artistic necessarily go hand in hand . I do feel that maybe artist tend to be more sensitive people and this is both the gift and the curse . We feel deeply , we see things deeply and it comes out in our art . I’ve felt like a lot of people like to live on the surface but I don’t . I like to live in the deep and sometimes the real and the deep can be dark. Sometimes we also feel the joys and beauty in life deeply as well. Digging down deep , feeling things deeply and having a wish for growth and wisdom has enhanced my spiritual side to the point that I can also reach such bliss and flow and acceptance with life. Art has the same effect and is great for expression of that . Puts me into an almost spiritual flow state . Art is like therapy for sensitive souls I think or maybe it can be that way for anyone . I love sensitive people. They’re often kind , deep and interesting to me but maybe being sensitive might cause us to suffer more to . I think great art can be happy peaceful art as well not just the dark stuff . As humans , we all encompass both and it’s just two sides of the same coin . Dark art , light happy art … it’s all art to me and I love it all . I saw an art piece where some one drew the neighborhood below their balcony where you could see all the beautiful trees in a sunny day , the laundry on the clothesline , the kids playing , the cat …. A scene of ordinary life but it was beautiful from that aerial view . It was nostalgic . To me , thats just as beautiful and feeling inducing as a dark piece of art . It’s just a different feeling . I even felt that about the musician comparison shown in the video lol . The variety is what makes it all great . I love a good happy song that brings me up to the brighter side of life . I love a sad soul touching song that helps me feel less alone in the fact that we as human beings struggle sometimes to . It’s all good . I love a painting of something absolutely beautiful. A landscape or macro view of a flower , birds, animals , people , nature . The beauty of the earth and nature touches me just as deeply . We don’t have to just appreciate the dark . It’s all good . I can see though that struggle and suffering also adds a layer of depth . It’s just a different kind of depth . I think good art requires depth and depth can be really dark or really light, really beautiful.
That is fine. I know unhappy people, who are not artists. Your argument is refuted!
Thanks for all of this, dude. 👾
this is just babble for people to waste 35 minutes on
Speaking as an artist, I’ll admit I’ve spent more days not creating than actually have. I feel perpetually unsatisfied and disappointed in myself as well as my life. I have mental illnesses that as much as I’d like to blame them for holding me back in the end I choose to waste more days than be productive. I still struggle to be my “better self” and still beat myself up for not accomplishing more than what I am but I’m trying to take it one day at a time because when I get to create I feel happy/fulfilled for that time I’m in that headspace and make me hopeful.
❤
Thank you!
Mmhmm
Idk dude I just made a badass song on garage band and I’m just out here stoked af all the time
“Don’t wait on a creative spark to happen, become it, and have it lead to an explosion of success and talent.” - Some Corny Bozo on the internet
Great video, but you don't need a watermark on the screen for the entire 36 minutes.
You look just like an Alcatraz ticket salesman I went on the road with many moons ago. Say hi to Rob if you know him :)
heroin is a pure example of capitalism. capitalism destroys artists. andy warhol saw this but was sort of autistically dissociated from it. andy warhol saw basquiat destroying himself with heroin but was dissociated. he did not know how to be a mentor. andy warhol collaborated with basquiat. those collaborative works are really moving. i take the SAMO period quite seriously. he writes short poems, very reflective and thought and emotion stimulating. to me SAMO was the obvious precursor to Banksy. I don't know much about art, but I can see sensitivity, passion, pain, expression, intelligence, energy. Also I wish DFW and Mark Fisher had stuck around for Byung-Chul Han. Han would have impressed DFW particularly I think. Maybe would have given him some hope.
Haha not me listening to a video about how to receive negative feedback about my art when I get 6 likes per photo 😅 a hateful comment would make me feel so seen

Wow, great video! Thank you for doing what you're doing
literally brave new world (1932)
You have no idea how much in tune I am with this video! It has helped me so much. Thank you for saying what I couldn't find the words to say! 🤔
I just want to find artists, see art, and have my own art be seen. I play these videos and go through the comments - checking channels all the while. It's freaking RARE to find ANYone who is actually producing and sharing their work. With few exceptions, everyone is just flapping their jaws about 'being' an artist, and/or showing off talking head edits. Where are the genuine, practicing, producing artists?!?
im so. grateful for your chanel!!!!!!
this was AMAZING man. I appreciated this so much.
We can never really bè fully duplicated..at best just imitated...do not stop...do not become an imitation of your life
15 years ago I had a few small victory's in art. all as a result of contact on line. but things change so fast i can not always keep up.
