I am not a Creative Person

In this video, we explore creativity, and what makes you a creative person. I have always struggled with identifying as a creative, a creator, or anyone with any level of creativity! I was always described as a logical person, and I think this comes down to the creative avenues I was exposed to when I was young, and the narrow minded view of the 'creative fields' we have currently. Filmmaking, Photography, Painting, Fine art, Sculpting are all considered creative arts - But there is much more to creativity than those disciplines, and I think people would feel much more comfortable calling themselves creative if we expanded the group 100 fold. Stop asking yourself 'am I creative?' because you almost definitely are.

Mumbo: I’m not creative
All of his fans: he is creative

[lukejohnston]

Switches to creative
Now I'm a creative person

Mumbo: "I don't wanna hear people describe themselves as not creative anymore."

Mumbo titling the video: Mwahahaha I'm writing it sucker, loophole!

[thomasroberts]

As the maths and physics kid, I appreciate this

[geauxlsut]

Mumbo: Everybody is a creative person

The title:

"I am not a creative person"
Me: *looks at his HC S6 &S7 bases* ....

You are who you say you are

Let that sink in

Have a great and creative day everyone!

I feel like Mumbo literally does the most creative things. He is a filmmaker, photographer, AND plays a game that is based around the idea of being creative.

In that same vein, I roll my eyes when I see fellow video producers called themselves "Creatives" in their bio. Because there's an implicit gatekeeping mentality to that word. As you said, if you're a cook, an engineer, a teacher - anyone and everyone is creative in some respect.

As I'm watching this video, it has -1 dislike, I don't know how that's possible, but well done, your like to dislike ratio is over 100%

This is so true! I catch myself and others saying that all the time.

I think people confuse "creativity" with "talent". For example, I am very bad at painting. But, if I had a canvas and some paint, I know exactly what I would paint right now, and I could describe it to you in great detail. The problem is, no one else would know what I meant it to be because it would be some blobs of color 😊

Like you said though, just because you are not good at something, or you think you would never be good at it, doesn't mean you should stop trying other things!! Great video Mumbo!

It happens to a lot of people. The fact that you use your influence to speak about this honors you. Keep being so true to your self and the rest. Love your videos. Definitely a creative person! ;)

As my engineering professor said when I first met him: Engineering is all about creativity. There wouldn't be any new inventions or innovations without it.

When your house is done can you do another day in the life?

I used to not think I was creative, then I took up graphic design and DnD and I’ve never felt more creative

[hal_lucid_ation]

"and I was terrible at all of those 3 things" I felt that. except I suck at math too lol

[honorary.senior]

hey, okay, i really needed to hear this. i also was better at math and "logical" things over artistic things and i used to say i wasn't creative as well. i came to this realization, that i am creative and that all things humans do are creative, a little while ago, but hearing it from another person is just. so amazing. this has really made my day

i've been watching you for almost 5 years now, i always knew you had a second channel where you made films, i never thought it would be something i was interested in, and always saw it as a neat hobby of yours that wasn't my thing, low and behold, this year im a year 12 going to A levels and picked film studies, and i JUST realized, im doing the thing i never thought would be my thing, and through this video all your pass video flashed in my head, and i understood that its a similarity i share with you, someone that i look up to in every possible way, and that makes me like and understand film making even more deeply, thank you for being here, and for reading my long comment.

As a guy in the audio field, this hits home. Literally almost everything that I do could be considered creative, but isn't a lot of the time.
