How to KILL Inspiration

8 months. 1 person. My first short film is finally here. From writing and rewriting the script to building 3D layouts, making props, lighting, filming, and creating the visual effects, this film took far longer than I ever expected. To be honest, there were countless times I wanted to quit. For nearly three months, I filmed almost every shot over 20 times. Some days, I could barely get two seconds of usable footage, and I constantly doubted if I should have taken on such a massive project for my first video. I kept asking myself: Could I make peace with spending so much time on something that might never find an audience? Could I live with all its imperfections after putting so much of myself into it? I’m still not sure. But I knew I wanted to make it anyway. If this film resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. And if you enjoyed it, leaving a like and subscribing would mean a lot to me!!! Last but not least, a special thank you to GAWX for inspiring me to start my own filmmaking journey. *A QUICK NOTE* This video originally premiered in Chinese. I decided to translate and dub the English version myself, so please bear with my pronunciation and accent ( honestly, this is the most English I’ve ever spoken in my life outside of giving directions to tourists :P You can also turn on subtitles if that helps!I just really wanted to share this journey with more people. #shortfilm #creative #perfectionism #overcomingperfectionism #selfdoubt #filmmaking #creators #findinginspiration #creativeprocess #vfx #blender
