Totally identify with you on this video. So nice to hear someone put into words what i kind of already knew what my problem was. I plan to frame your quote to put it up behind my editing pc. "Get to the rough edit as fast as possible" Levi Allen. 🤙
“I know on the drive home what I messed up already.” So true! 3:58 Appreciate this! 👏🏻👊🏻 Yeah it’s so wild how we can sit on a project, idea, plan, and maybe never finish it to see the light of day. I’m glad you finished the slack film, and yeah this is a super refreshing pod and I can see it helping a lot of people!
I’m just a trucker making UA-cam videos but this is exactly how I get, dreading the edit knowing the final won’t be what I’d like. In one of my first videos I made a commitment to myself and the viewers that I’d post everyday. After a couple weeks of posting sub par videos it got easier to power through the edit knowing I wouldn’t be pleased with the end result. I learned a lot in those weeks and now months later it’s become easier to get through the edit and post my crappy videos 😂 What also helps me is the fact that I often drive till 8-10pm and need to get the edit done and uploaded so I can get to sleep. If I had time to think about it or procrastinate I probably never would have posted anything. Maybe these principles, commitment and deadline, can be applied to other applications? 🤷♂️
Levi, thank you for sharing your thoughts, your journey and your challenges and vulnerabilities. I personally get the most help when watching someone else like myself deal with their challenges, rather than them lecturing me, and you were able to beautifully pull that off. Thank you 🙏🏽 I will go back to that 5 year old project of mine that is sitting on the drive that I keep talking about but I never end up doing
1 didn’t know this channel existed, this is awesome, I follow your other channels 2 You have got to be the most relatable creative to my struggles 3 stoked for the future courses
Spent today editing my first real video project in 4 months, watching this while in the thick of doing what I've been thinking about doing for a while is very reassuring, keep it up, love the advice.
Hey Levi, I don't make things and, creatively, I'm a dilettante to be frank. This resonates fiercely! I enjoy understanding how things work (which is how I found you-stayed for your voice) but I will avoid doing things for fear of failure. I aspire to be a great many things, but good enough is something I've been getting used to more recently which has helped overall. I won't buy your course (see: The Gap!) but, from a random on the internet, I cannot express how badly I want to see the Levi that releases it! Stay the course. We're all better because you make stuff :)
I have it all the time. And it´s hard to recognize if it´s just a good perspective to change something what is not working (for example in edit or script) or if it´s just too much diggin into detail, which will not be noticeable in the whole picture. Anyway, I have to tell myself...just finish it, and try to improve one thing in comparison with your previous video. At least you can learn what you did wrong, and try to improve it next time. Hope that will work

Also, OCD presents itself through obsessive looping, which could be "overthinking." Paralysis, through analysis, is real.

Keep this up. Loving all of it. This hit me at the right time because this is where I am at. But the only way is to sit there, and do it. It’s so hard
Thanks for sharing this, just what I needed to hear 👍
