Hey Stef, it's February | Social Media paradox as an actor
There was construction close to my apartment during the time of recording. Sorry for the banging, but I am sure it will all be okay.
Social media has been really challenging to navigate over the last couple of months and I wanted to present and discussion point for people who are way smarter than I am.
I will see you in the comments.

    Hi Stefan! Congratulations on all of your projects and thank you for sharing your journey! Which one do you prefer, being in front of the camera or behind it? And how one influenced the other for you? Also I would be interested in learning more about the artistic, acting scene in South Africa and what it is like :) keep it going!!!!

    • @thestefactor
      @thestefactor Рік тому

      Hi! Thank you for the kind words. I find that I like both for different reasons, but for some reason right now in my life I am finding myself behind the camera more and more. And having knowledge of how things work behind the camera gives me as an actor more compassion and understanding if things are running late or if a scene is technically demanding for the crew. And when I am behind the camera it helps that I have understanding of the creative process of the actors as communication is key :) With regards to latter part of your comment. I think that would be an excellent series of videos to perhaps bring more light on the South African film industry.

    This was a really interesting video. I know how it is stretching yourself to thin! I think it definitely can add to burnout. Really like your channel and think you have a unique perspective. I'm a film director and its cool to see a vlog from the perspective of an actor/creator, I think a lot of directors would like to peer behind the scenes of what its like to be an actor and this channel gives me that! I'm gonna comb through more of your videos and check them all out when I get a little bit more free time. Have a great one and keep your eye on the ball! Making consistent content and focusing on your passion will take your far :).

    • @thestefactor
      @thestefactor 3 роки тому

      Thanks so much, I'm glad you found some value here. Yeah, spreading myself a little too thin has caused some burnout. I think, focusing on one thing for a bit will be good. Also, this channel will serve as an archive of my acting journey and I am really happy that directors can gain some insight into how an actor's mind works :)

    What was it like on set of Fila se Kind? Did you film in the karoo desert? I imagine filming in a remote location must be challenging and lack the comforts of shoots closer to the city

    • @thestefactor
      @thestefactor 3 роки тому

      We filmed just outside of Knysna. There was a wonderful aloe field by the house we filmed at. Hahaha, we had a lovely guest house to stay at, but the town only had one place to eat. So every night we all went to this one place and ordered the same thing over and over again :)

  • @Pr1ncessYak
    @Pr1ncessYak 3 роки тому

    Thanks for sharing This is something I've been thinking a lot about. It makes sense for you to invest all your resources (time, attention, enegry etc) into thestefactor. I'm about to launch two projects (youtube channels) that I've been filming and editing the past few months. I've been agonizing on whether to separate the content into different niche channels or just lump it all together. I've settled on two channels as this allows me to stay true to two vastly different topics and areas of interest.

    • @thestefactor
      @thestefactor 3 роки тому

      Yeah, I would say try it out and see what it feels like after a month. The only way I came to this conclusion was by trying to do both. I'm looking forward to seeing your content :)

    Have you heard of the curly girl method? Check out the curly girl south Africa facebook group and see if it's something you'd be interested in. It's a beautiful supportive community and you'll get some idea of what products and techniques you could try. I'm still experimenting with a minimal frugal cruetly free low effort/waste version of it. Would be awesome see a dude/some one with shorter hair trying the curly girl method. It's super easy to quit sulfates and some of the other nasties that aren't great for curly hair so you don't need to go too deep into curly girl/natural hair to get amazing results

    @Khoigeek 4 роки тому

    Yay! Love this. As a non actor 😁, For me this plays out every time I need to choose between self & family/friends. It’s in my nature to be there for others, yet I know that more so than not I need to be there for myself first. I’ve had to unlearn the idea that choosing me is selfish. Yet I believe that I am because of my community. So if I don’t show the love to my community how can I expect them to hold space for me. It’s a delicate balance I’ve kinda reached.

    • @thestefactor
      @thestefactor 4 роки тому

      Yes. It is a very delicate balance. Today I also realised that this is part of life - the balance. There will be days one sways too far in one direction and then you just have to readjust and that's normal. Also taking care of oneself is so important - how can you take care of others if you don't look after yourself. ☺️

I think it's great that you filmed out in public because it really inspires us here on UA-cam, and those that see you vlogging in person... it also gives them confidence. I really like how you added the still photos in between as well! Blessings on your vlogging, till next time peace ✌:Annie
