Be Creative.... B.. E.. Creative.... B.. E.. ..........

I'm not really sure what makes me creative.... I think it helps when I enjoy the general premise of the project I'm trying to be creative with. Sometimes I try to think of topics, experiences, anything that reminds me or can somehow be connected to the project.. and see if that leads to anything creative.

Showers... Showers help me think a lot. It is the one place I can be to where I'm not interrupted. That is the biggest antagonist to my creative process. Distraction. I have to be very focused once the creative juices start flowing so I prefer to be alone when I am working on stuff.

I think I'm creative with my storytelling. And I used to come up with some pretty cool stories. And I hope I'm creative with video projects although most of what I do doesn't allow for a lot of creativity. I guess I'll find out how creative I am this summer.

My most creative project.... hmm.... Well, in second grade I wrote a story about a thunder storm and drew a picture with it. It was a paragraph long. It was awesome!! It got put in a book and everything. I think I peaked then.. and it's been downhill ever since ;)

About that interview...

The one with Brandon Piety, of XXXChurch PornMobile Confessions. Turns out he is a busy guy... BUT I did get some short answers from the questions I asked.. So that's something! Sam Sanchez, their film producer was kind enough to email me some short answers and here they are!

1. Why did you ditch the audio and go to strictly video casting?
Video is more personal and more fun to do. People get a better feel
for what we are doing through video.

2. What drives audiences to your vodcast? Probably the experience
they get from seeing and hearing what we do, how is affects us and
the people we are involved with. They can feel almost like they are
physically a part of our team while supporting from afar.

3. Do you lose money creating the vodcast or gain money from it?
Hard to say. We cannot really track it. It takes more time (which is
money) but if more people watch, spread the word and get help or get
involved with the vodcast than podcast (which we think people do) it
is worth it.

4. Being the Producion Manager, what is your role in getting the
vodcast on the XXXChurch site? I am not the production manager -
just the shooter and editor. But the video has to be uploaded, put
on our site, spread through myspace and emails as well.

5. Are there any pod/vodcasts that you follow and what attracts you
to them? Not in particular; I spend more time reading and watching
movies.


Oh and this is pretty cool.. remember that David Warlick guy I talked to earlier about his blog?? Well, I was working on my research paper and wanted to check a citation so I was searching for a site to help me cite... and did you know that the first website that came up was this Son of a Citation Machine created by The Landmark Project which David Warlick created. Small world!
