"if you're struggling coming up with ideas, create something about how you're feeling at this very moment." Lowkey genius.

[DavidSenteno]

I’ve been in a creative no man’s land for about six months. Then I started scheduling creative times. Sometimes it’s actually putting my hand on a camera and sometimes it’s just imagining projects. This has helped me.

[TyrellFrye]

Nah you dropped some real game in this video. I 100% felt what you said about vlogging. I literally stopped vlogging for over a year because it just wasn’t feeling genuine. I’m back to creating content now though. Also I think it’s crazy you live in VA and we have mutual friends too lol.

Keep it up bro! ✊🏾

[RumbaniNdhlovu]

Dawg, thank you for sharing this. I always leave your videos inspired. To be honest, I have a video, shot and edited but I'm scared of what the commitment to posting it will be. But always understanding that I need to be as authentic as possible is freeing. No gimmicks

I really have trouble creating content, but when you said "Always look for a good frame then add yourself in it" that was the best advice I've heard in a long time. Thank you and subscribed.

[BCMusicst]

My guy! I haven't looked into that camera yet BUT wanted to say your perspective on life and what you're going through is always refreshing. Knowing that you keep it genuine instead of trying to fake a situation for engagement means a lot. Glad the family is doing okay and I know you'll be keeping everyone centered during these moments!

[PhilipWesson]

Great advice. I find myself overwhemled, thinking I need more lights, or different lenses, or all that and end up doing lots of tests, but not actually creating. Great points on limitation and writing down those ideas.

Also, I've got those same dumbells!

I needed to hear this message. When it comes to certain styles of content I want to make (cinematic/film making vlogs), but I go for the easier content I’m comfortable with making.

I just need to keep challenging myself creatively and experiment even if the content doesn’t turn out how I want it.

I love what you’re saying here about limitations being an asset rather than a setback. And that you would go so far as to self impose limitations to elevate your creative process.

That is advice worth taking.

Brings to mind one of the silver linings of poverty.

Having been poor most of my life, I have often found there’s beauty in poverty because there are limitations. One becomes more creative with how they interact with the world.

For example, creating a delicious meal out of a few simple ingredients. Or finding a piece of furniture that is being thrown away and carefully mending it, bring new life to something old and unwanted, and making it beautiful.

Endless options can be paralyzing. Limitations can make you hungry, motivated and clear your vision.

That mirror setup was great. I do photography and videography with my woodworking business and like running at my local nature preserve. I’ve put off this particular shoot, but seeing it in this video gives me the confidence to do it.

[Door_of_hope]

Love the shot while in the bus, that fish eye was dope

[Treborray]

beautiful family brother ! God Bless !

[dericsanchez]

This hit bro. I’ve been forcing content lately and it’s been miserable. Pyxis looks dope. Love the blackmagic image quality. Don’t have a need for it but looks pretty sweet.

[garelbidi]

I will do my first solo filmmaking soon and I won’t forget to thank you once done.
I add it to my script right now.
Keep going !!

The Pyxis 6k, like any new camera, regardless of features or lack thereof I try to ignore the desire to get invested in new tech. It's ironically exciting, but limiting when you think of the ever changing, constantly iterating industry that to chase is exhausting and expensive. Sticking to my C100 MK1 for what it offers me is enough, just want to keep making films, try different ways of telling stories.

Sliders, cranes. Lighting, colour. Sound design, music. Pacing, editing. anything that changes the dyanmics of what's possible in a shot/setup that's more up for consideration and is far more important. And man, you do incredible work with what your produce man.

[GeeWhyNOT]

Another great video with plenty of Gems. You have a gift that just keeps giving. The pyxis looks great as well

[MrTerryRay]

Thanks for showing us how you got the cool shots in your video. You showed the exact shots that made me think "how did he get that shot?" Thanks for your thoughts about shooting and how you feel at times. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way at times.

[bsgmediahouse]

Loved it!! I can’t thank you enough for sharing your journey!
