You MUST Pursue Your CREATIVITY | Photography & Filmmaking

- I've been thinking a lot about what I create, and creativity itself.
This thinking began because a few months ago I decided to make my first feature length documentary film, a dream project. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time, and I decided 2024 will be the year it happens.
I'm still making my usual photography videos, but if you're interested in filmmaking, i'm adding a series of videos documenting my filmmaking journey over the next 6 months or so.

Do you create for you, or to please others?
For years I‘ve been criticised by a family member and forced into jobs I never wanted. From the age of 10, I wanted to do photography. Now, retired, I‘m doing it. I no longer care if people criticise me, I‘m doing what I‘ve always wanted to do and ? everyone else! So yes, I‘m totally with you. 😊
Ah, I feel for you, I've been criticized, and learnt over time to ignore it and do what my heart tells me to do. Good for you, now you have time to play with, I wish you all the best on your journey of photographic discovery!
I'm not laughing, I'm applauding you! Good for you! I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce. Like you, I'm fascinated by movies, not just the story telling but how they are put together. On that topic, one of my favourite channels is this one - www.youtube.com/@StudioBinder It's fascinating. Anyway, good luck! 🙂
Thanks Julian, whatever happens, this is a fun project to work on. The amount of pieces involved with making a film are plentiful, so much to consider and tie together. At the very least, I'll be sharing my findings and experience. Thanks for the link, will take a peek. Cheers!
By a strange set of coincidences, I discovered this project via Dan Mullins' podcast. I discovered him via another related podcast after booking my own walk in April.
Ive been following your work for a few years, and really admire what you do. I wish you lots of luck, and would love to have been able to join in - but time doesn’t permit.
Oh, and I create for myself. If others like my work, that's a bonus.
Hi Neil, wow, that is a coincidence! If you've booked your first Camino, you're in for an amazing time! Where are you walking from? Appreciate the kind words. Buen Camino!
@@SimonBurnCreative I'm really looking froward to it. I'm using travel to deal with my recent bereavement, and it does work. I guess all the new experiences work to divert my mind on to better things. I've chosen the Ingles because it's short and I'm likely to manage it. I already know that I want to do the Portuguese coastal route sometime, maybe by bike, having seen some achingly beautiful video from Efren Gonzales on UA-cam..
@@neilt I've researched that route, but haven't yet walked it. It's on my to-do list. It's one of the lesser travelled routes, so you'll have plenty of time to yourself and your thoughts. The Portuguese route is becoming very popular, perfect for those who enjoy time on the coast. Efren makes some great videos that have helped many get an insight, and plan, their Camino adventure.
@SimonBurnCreative Just checked your journal. Leigh's podcast is where my trail started. What a wonderful experience this is becoming. Looking forward to listening to your interview later today.
@@neilt That's really interesting to know, I'll let Leigh know your journey started with her podcast, she'll love that. She's going to be walking with us in May. Maybe she should interview you when you return from your Camino. 🙂
Oooh, sounds intruiging . I look forward to whatever comes along - I know you will give this your all. All the Best for this project Si.
Thanks Al, this project should keep me out of trouble and off the streets 😆
@@SimonBurnCreative off the streets....ooh is that a clue? 🤔
@@thevalleywalker It could well be, I suppose 😎
Brilliant. Looking forward to the updates!
Thanks Andy 😊
Go for it Simon. Where do you want your fifty foot replica rocket delivered? The dancing girls want to know when they get paid as well. 😄
Having thought about it, 50-foot is too small. 😆
Great thoughts Simon,I agree with everything you said. And it needs saying.
Thanks Alex 🙂
Sounds like a big undertaking but if its what you want to do im sure you will make a success of it. Look forward to following along .
Cheers Lee. Certainly a big, and scary, undertaking. But a challenge like that is fun too.
Primarily for me, these days.
Best way!
TS Elliot said: "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." All the best with this project, Simon. I look forward to seeing it, especially having completed "The Way" last fall. Will you be at the Toronto Spring Meeting?
Great quote! Would love to be at the Toronto spring meeting, when and where?
@@SimonBurnCreative , March 2 at Beach United Church. Doors open at 0830h.
@@catherinegardner3041 Andy Holloway, who is helping Dan Mullins plan his musical Camino, and helping me with the filming, will be staying with me that weekend. I'll bring him to the meeting. Look forward to meeting you.
lately it's been creating more for me. If people are interested they will subscribe, I don't particularly want to make the same review garbage everyone else it. Sure it may take a little longer to get to the monetization level, but I'll feel better about what I have created and will have a more dedicated audience.
I think it's the only way. I've seen you are certainly creating on your terms, and I look foek forward to see where you go with it Todd. 👍
@@SimonBurnCreative thanks Simon.
I try to make things that I enjoy first and foremost. Otherwise I'm wasting my own time most of all. Looking forward to this journey of yours. Curious, what software do you edit with?
Cheers Chris. I edit in Adobe Premiere.
@@SimonBurnCreative Me too. If you need help with titles or motion graphics for your doc, I'm happy to help. I'm quite handy with After Effects.
@@chris_sparrows Good to know 🙂
