good job, buddy
JackHoward ikr I loved this vid it made me really reflect on my life and made me realise even though there are so many shit things that have happened and are still happening in my life, there are good things that make life worth living and this vid made me feel better about myself, I have a breakdown....I write a story, write a song, sing a song, draw a drawing and feel better, thank you
SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD TIM
Thus is such a great video xx
You mean 'this' Chloester...
Haha, yeah thanks August
Welcome my dear Chloester :)

I've always found that if you add the word 'fuck' to any statement, it becomes 10x more inspirational.

TimH with another winner...
OH MY GOD this was so well done.
Great shots, great dialogue (I laughed out loud more than once), and that monologue…ohhhh that monologue….I actually really needed that in my life right now, man. Thank you, and amazing work on another good video.
How are you always on every UA-camr that I watch?!?
RIcameraman I JUST STALK YOU THATS WHY
This really hit home for me. Thanks, Tim. Hope you're doing well! :)
Thanks Laney :) Hope you're doing okay! :D x

Thank you.
Dear Tim, although you may not see this, I'm gonna say it anyways just for good measure...
I'm an aspiring actor/ filmmaker, but I'm lazy as all shit, and procrastinate unlike any other, spent the past few years doing a lot of heavy thinking, on what I wanted to do, how I'd do it, and what if it didn't work out?
Recently I've been watching maybe a little too much TomSka, which has filled a few ideas into my head, but then again, procrastinating. I saw this video in the sidebar and decided to check it out, as I always seems to be able to help other people's problems better than mine. (Love, school, gaming, and well, creativity, you name it)
Then I kinda... forgot about your existence for a few weeks, but shortly after I had had a horrible day at work, and I( needed some inspirational cheering. Tom couldn't fill it for me, but then I remembered you, and this video, and I watched it again, and has since then watched it plenty of times since then.... and bloody hell, you've done it.
You have been one of the biggest inspirations so far, and you have not convinced me to throw all my creativity and ideas into somewhere, and I decided to write a story which I will start as soon as I finish this comment.
Well.... long story short, Thank you, you are the realization and the inspiration I needed, fuck procrastinating, and holy shit, god bless you.
Yet again, thank you, from an inspired fan :)
Great job, Tim! The deliverance of the last few bits of dialogue was a nice touch.
Even though this video's a year old that was absolutely brilliant, i really needed that.
This was really fucking good, Tim. The slow, extended camera pans (I'm probably using all the wrong words here but oh well) were kind of like the ones used to film stage shows and ballets - they made the whole thing a little more dramatic. And the last bit with the click of the pen? Lovely.
(Tracking) But I'll let you get away with it :P We did a few too many takes to get that done right!

Thanks Tim. I needed that.
This has helped me deal with writer's block better than anything else. I write every single day, and have done so for five years. It's exhausting. And sometimes I notice that I'm slipping. I find that instead of two hours, or three, or four, I'm spending thirty minutes a day trying to write. Maybe twenty. And then I give up for the day, like trying to create matters, like it counts on some cosmic scale and gives me license to call myself a writer even if I barely actually *write*.
But now, whenever I notice that happening, I come to this video. And since its posting I've watched it again and again and again.
You've helped me write, which is the most important thing that I do, that I will ever do. So thank you. It means a lot.
wow, I'm 11 years old and go and think though the same thing!Thank you Tim!
I was looking forward to your return after that short break and this didn't disappoint. The shots, the lighting (jesus that lighting was beautiful), the music, just everything about this was brilliant. You really have a way with words. Great.
Wow, you just motivated me... thanks
I needed that
Like you said, you can't put someone's suffering on a scale of 1 to 10. Because it might not be that bad in the whole scheme of things, but right now, at this very moment, it is the worst possible thing that could have happened. You can't judge someone because what they're crying over seems really small to you. For all anyone knows, that 'small' thing is what broke the camel's back. That 'small' thing is what made that person decide that maybe, just maybe, this wasn't worth it. You never know what anyone is going through, and those words that you think are comforting, those words of "It's no big deal. It's no reason to cry." may be the very things that are causing someone to doubt everything they have ever done or are doing, and feeling that their own emotions are not validated because someone has it worse. Everyone deserves to feel the way that they do, and no one has the right to put them down for their emotions.
“To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
@@akuliak Holy crap, someone quoting Frankl in the comments of a UA-cam vid!
I keep crying during your videos and I'm not sure how much more I can take :'-)
Perfect. I really loved this.
Honesty is key Tim which is why I say that you are the key to my inspirations and what I want to be in life; that is whatever i want it to be. I vary with creative talents and this video has shown me that I should try them all out and maybe taken them all to the full. If my dreams come true, I will have one person to thank, and that is you Tim. Thank You
Is anyone going to point out that Tim said "susposed" at 1:22 instead of "supposed" or am I speaking a different language?
Excellent video, Tim. Also, well done on getting so many HAWT PROFESHONALLS! Can I get the fireman's phone number please? x
this actually made me cry, not sure why but it was damn good
Sad/hopeful piano - always works :-)
Jake Birkett pretty sure it was what he said combined with the state in which my mind was back then, but yeah, the music probably helped too
You Sir, are a genius. Thank you.
The shot at 4:05 is sweet balls, dude. The sweetest balls.
Damn... Tim, you are incredibly talented. Thank you for making this.
one problem for me is that I see these amazing ideas online and I expect my ideas to be as robust, but instead of focusing on one idea I hop around and try just being lucky and hope I'll just come up with a GENIUS idea! But seriously, this video made me realize it's up to me to come up with ideas, and you phrased it so well, well done!
excuse me while i aggressively identify with this
1:01 RORY THE DINOSAUR FROM PROJECT:LIBRARY!
YAY! Glad someone spotted this one :D
Tim H I'm surprised no one else did!
***** No problem. :)
I don't really don't think anything I comment could even come close to explaining how good this was, but I also don't feel like a simple click of the like button is enough. Damn. Well done, Tim.
Precisely this, for me as well.
Well... I guess I just have one thing to say Tim. Thank you.
Every day I've woken up with the want to get something done, but never actually gotten around to doing it. I'd constantly question my actions, coming up with possible reasons and excuses as to why it was I was being unproductive. I started seeing a therapist about it too, in hope that I'd get answers to these questions that have been plaguing my mind for over 6 months now, yet nothing ever really happened.
But just moments after I watched this video, I felt the drive again. Right now I am currently drafting a project I've been telling myself I was going to work on for the last 2 months. I know that this may just be a temporary feeling, because let's face it, this kind of creative block doesn't simply go away after one huge, life-changing moment. However, I'm going to keep returning to this, if not to bring back the drive again, then to remind of what's truly important about how I face this issue.
There have been few things I've ever seen that have hit me so close to home with an issue that has been torturing me for so long. I was never the kind to get overly-dramatic over something like this, yet this video moved me... and more importantly, it inspired me.
For that, I simply have to say thank you.
One word: Deep
#deep
You have officially become my inspiration Tim Hautekiet! I thank you for making these kinds of videos to help me get back on my feet.
This video is five years old at this point, so it's unlikely that +TimH Films or anyone else will see this, but I just want to say that this video was incredible. I'm a 20 year old college student, watching this at 4 in the morning because I can't sleep. I can't sleep because I'm stuck in a depressive funk, scared that I'm going to get kicked out of college after only my first year here, and I have _no_ idea what I'm going to do or what my future is if that happens. I came to this video looking for another one of Tim's funny sketches, trying to distract myself from the grim reality of my situation. Instead I found this, a video that pulled on my heartstrings and motivation, dragging it down through most of the video, but pulling it back up at the end. I know that logically, this video doesn't solve any of the problems in my life, and that the positive mood boost it gave to me will no doubt fade, but for now, I'm more ready to deal with what's bothering me than I have been in a long time. So for that, Tim, I thank you.
Every time i have trouble writing my book, i watch this video and it inspires me to keep trying no matter how long it takes to write one single word. Thank you for everything, Tim.
Never have truer words been spoken.
I discovered you from a TomSka video -- well... a DarkSquidge one (My Public Breakup) -- and I am so damn happy I did. Since then (which wasn't long ago... it was literally a couple hours beck), I've seen every video you have on your "Best of TimH" playlist. You are seriously underrated, and you don't just play video games while screaming, or point out the internet's stupid grammar (although jacksfilms is pretty awesome). Heck you didn't even make one inspirational video that's seriously got me thinking. YOU MADE A TON OF THEM. Since I've began to watch your videos, I've managed to figure out so much. I've been touched in ways unimaginable (okay, that sounds horrible), but the point is: don't ever stop. Because you sum up what UA-cam is all about :)
so true! you go Tim!!!😀😀
Thank you. I've been struggeling with my universite course lately. At first it was a dream come true to study the thing I loved. But now I can't even motivate myself to show up for classes. "What's stopping you?" Those words made me realise that trying to make my hobby into my profession just doesn't make me happy anymore. This video made me realise that it's time to move on to do the things that do make me happy.
I came in here not really knowing what to expect. I'm pleasently surpraised.
Christine is so lucky to have you :D
i was literally THIS close to closing the video when you were sitting on the floor but something made me stay on this video. and RIGHT when you changed your progression of the video i was crying omg that was perfect thank you so much for this
I watch this at least once a year and it’s hitting harder every watch. What is Stopping me?
Woah.. this was like a slap in the face for me.. now I'll get my arse up and start doing well to fix my gpa so I can get majored..
I think I was waiting for this video.
Wow, this really hit home. I just started my first year of university and have been in going in and out of existential crisis mode. I want to do film but I go to a science and technology focused university. For a while I felt extremely trapped an unable to create but lately I've realized that you just have to go for it. You just have to dive in and do it. There is no excuse to not do what you love.
If I ever find myself going back into the mindset that I just can't create because I don't have time or don't feel like it is going to be worth it, I am going to come back to this video. Thank you so much for making this.
Makes me realize that UA-cam isn't only a place for funny cat videos but can also have deep and meaningful messages that can change ways of thinking and then potentially lives...
Thank you TimH
WATCH NOW -- DO IT-- NOW --THIS IS BRILLIANT.
If I could pick one creative piece or video (which would be hard but I think I can) I pick this one to describe how I've been feeling creatively. Even the end bit. My story is a bit different and I thought I didn't want to be a creative person for a living but I do and watching this video inspires. You can relate to it. Then there is the bit where he explains self doubt and where your thoughts stumble into the idea of "My problems aren't important." I loved that part. It's so accurate to how a visual thinks. It really depicts what it feels like.
ughh.. now I feel my words don't do it justice but I do want to post them anyhow. Thank you Tim for this great short film of what creative block is like. Thank you for making me feel inspired and for putting your work out there. FUCK YEAH LETS DO IT!
yep... posting this even though I feel extremely self conscious.
Hey Tim I just want to take a moment to thank you for making this video. It was so inspiring that I rewatch it every time I'm in a creative slump. I've rewatched it probably close to 50 times. So thank you, you always inspire me to create again, and thanks to you, I've just created what I think is my best video to date! You, sir, are amazing. Thank you.
Tomska sent me once, and i haven`t watched your videos yet, so i let this one determine if i wanna stay subbed. And in the beginning i was like "With dattitle, whatcan there be in da video?"
Never ever jugde a book by it`s cover, this was great, inspirational and overall brilliant. i know feel like wanting to change the world.So good, i stay subbed for sure.
I really hope you realize how effective these films are. "There is no such thing as a creative who can't create." You're absolutely fucking right.
So very good Tim, as ever.
How can you being uncreative look so creative?
This is so good! Can't hit the subscribe fast enough
This is way old but i do want to thank you I come back to this video whenever I get stuck thanks for your help
I legit cry every time I watch this, I've recommended it to friends, classmates, family, people online I don't know (okay that's not a good idea...) this inspires me so much, especially with me dealing with social and normal anxiety, depression, stress, a mental issue or two, your videos help me so much, especially this one. You've inspired me to take a filmmaking class, and I thank you for that. Bless you.
why doesnt this have more views this is just brilliant
cos people are too busy wasting their time watching challenge videos and videos about cats to look for the good content
Boo Hudson thats actually really true and im disappointed about that fact
it's so relatable it hurts
I love the lighting and cinematography in this one, and the motion, and just about everything!
the lighting was great in this video. so many beautiful shadows.
The production value of this felt so much higher than your pre project library stuff. So cool to see something which is essentially just a vlog with this sort of thought put into it.
The explanation of my life in 6:44min. Amazing.
When I need to feel inspired or empowered, this is where I'll be! Thank you for this, Tim - you've done a bloody marvellous job, as always!
Came here on recommendation of Dodie and Candice and I do not regret it, wow this really does resonate with me, with loads of people I bet :)
I needed this today. Was watching this while procrastinating on working on my film and project that are due this week. Everything you said really hit home. Thank you.
This was... wow. Phenomenal. Brilliant message, but the way it was filmed and lit as well was so striking. Sublime.
That was beautiful, made me cry a little! Thanks Tim!
love your stuff tim. and that stuff about nothing making sense in your twenties totally hit home for me and it does feel better to know that other twenty somthings have no fucking clue either!
The new Shia
+ConHasACamera JUST DO IT!
I really needed this right now...
I always come back to this video. It's great Tim.
"So just DO IT !
Make your dreams come true !!!"
This deserves more views!
I have one word: WOW
I've re-watched this video so many times. Each time it's helped in a different way.
This time, I looked to your video because I've had to defer doing my Creative Writing Masters for a year, while I save money for it.
It really helped. Thanks, Tim.
Tim's videos are always so reflective and good! Thanks!
at 5:18 I can just imagine the lamp post from the beginner's guide. watch a gameplay of it, its good
That....was strong.
At 5:44 I felt like you were actually talking directly to me and I teared up.
This is beautiful, Tim.
Beautiful.
I just typed out that whole big speech, and now I shall memorize it and whenever I feel discouraged I will recite in my head over and over, and tell it to friends when they feel the same. Thanks Tim! You're the best!
Three things. One - good bloody job. Two - If this is how you're thinking, Tim, you're thinking way too much. Just make another sketch or something for now. Three - You made Project Library. You have no need to be worrying about not making anything of worth. I've seen TV shows with less content.
Keep going, before anyone comes to their senses. Do it for all those nearly 100,000 people.
Why am I crying
he has that effect on people
It's like you read my mind and put it into a video Tim H. I just need to discover and believe that last bit you said though.
A creative way to snap people out of procrastination. I've had this video in my "Watch Later" list and I had a feeling it would be like this, but I didn't want to hear it. But I finally watched it today because I'm having a "Make Lists" day...if you know what I mean.
Many people talk about procrastination and the 20's dilemma, but you put it beautifully. Thanks for the video. I really needed it. :)
And for the record, I'm willing to wait for another brilliant piece by you.
So if you did this video instead of procrastinating ... does that mean that you overcame procrastination?
Or how about this: if you did this video based on your procrastination experience, it means that all the procrastination in your lifetime was actually useful, but if it was useful then it has never been procrastination O:
amazing..but susposed??
Thanks Tim. Just thanks.
I watch this every single time I feel unmotivated. Tim, this is my all time favourite video on UA-cam and I would like to thank you so much for creating it.
how many people shook your hand and said it was an honour to meet you at comicon Tim? was I the only one?
Pretty sure you were the only one who did it in that exact fashion ;)
Me again.
Jenson Hall who are you and why are you replying to my comment?
Tim looks like Andrew Garfield
"These thoughts don't get you anywhere but somehow knowing that...doesn't help"
I asked my creative writing teacher to show this in class. After we watched it, I swear it felt like a spark had lit up every single person, inspiring them to write with ambition instead of for a grade. Thanks for being that spark, Tim. :)
This is probably the least helpful video watch listen to whilst doing revision for my science GCSEs. Although I now have an amazing idea for.... Back to the science. :(
I share your pain
I agree
Same here
same
Is it just me or is Tim like the perfect writer? He can create comedic videos, but then he tackles hard stuff and turns it into a motivation video.
Every single one of Tim's videos really inspire me, but this hit me the most.
2 years later this is still my favourite thing you have ever made. Honestly well done, hit me hard
Wow. This is amazingly inspirational. It gave me chills, especially just that pen click at the end. I feel motivated to go and create now.
Great message, Brilliant camera work. A++ content 👍👍👍👍👍
I must also say that I really like your style of video making. Your stuff is well-paced and the way you alternate sketchy bits and serious bits works very well.
Okay so my comment has two sides: first one is the technical one about the actual video. I'm so impressed with the camerawork and the lighting - there's just something about how this was made and directed that I am absolutely in love with. But since I'm not someone who actually knows anything besides how to turn on a camera (that's debatable), this is unfortunately the extent of my technical feedback. Now onto the content. This video really hit home for me, as I've been struggling with a creative crisis like yours for months - except for art. I did art on tumblr and not to brag, but I did get a big (for me) audience for them. But I also did it in college as an A-Level. After a few months of constant creative 'flow' - hundreds of images being produced, painted, sketched - a constant stream of ideas that got put down on paper and finished I just stopped. I couldn't pick up my tablet pen or a paint brush. I stopped posting my art on tumblr and got behind on my art coursework. I got my teachers and friends concerned. I couldn't explain why - it was just this block in my mind. Because art was no longer an escape for me. It was my everything and it was too much. It took me from end of November until now to slowly bring back my creativity - and not fully. My tumblr is rarely used for posting art, but at least I managed to get back on track with coursework. But this video really helped me - I've sat here writing this comment and just releasing my thoughts as I reflect back on what you said. And you know what Tim? There is nothing stopping me. I CAN do this. Thank you for helping me realise that I was not the only one struggling with this problem. Also great to see you back again on UA-cam, really missed your videos recently. Sorry for the long comment as well, I tend to go off on tangents >.>
Don't apologise :) I appreciate the long comment! Thanks for sharing x
