“Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.” ― Seth Godin, Poke the Box
Learning how to make a video started for me with non-copyrighted footage. I hadn’t even reached the point where I had the guts nerve confidence to simply point and shoot a simple video on my iPhone.
As a writer trying to learn about video, I started off slow. Among other things, I used the intro to an old TV series and added (what I hoped were) funny captions to it.
Doing a 30-day challenge can feel like a marathon. However, there’s a real benefit to performing an act on a regular basis within an allotted time.
The Creative Sprint challenges I’ve participated in have made me realize my own potential to take on new creative pursuits.
When I first heard about the Creative Sprint 30-Day Art Challenge, I figured I’d be no good at it at all. I used to draw when I was younger, but now I’m a writer. I figured anything I created would be really crappy and not worth the effort.
Then, I realized that was the point of the exercise. It’s all about realizing your own creativity—the kind that’s hidden away. The 30-Day Creative Sprint is all about realizing you can be creative in ways you never imagined.
This weekend while I was attending the Creatures, Crimes & Creativity conference in Columbia, MD, I used my down time to indulge in a bit of creative photography.
I started off doing this on one of my coffee espresso breaks! 🙂
