Why Do We Create?

  • A couple of months ago I moved to Austin, Texas in the hopes of furthering my artistic career on CZcams. I didn’t realize that this would force me to embark on a journey to understanding what it truly means to live a creative lifestyle. What if I never make it? What if I spend the rest of my life living paycheck to paycheck as I try to make it as an artist? Is it still worth it?

    im 14 and ever since i was in elementary school ive loved to make videos. this year im a freshman and i feel like i have more work than ever thats holding me up from doing what i love. but at the end of the day after all of the weeks i dont have time to create those few moments i do i bust my ass off, and in the end its satisfying to know i just did something ya know? im just rambling but i hope if anybody else is in a situation like i am just dont stop thinking about your ideas and stuff. doodle things down on homework assignments, record voice memos and write notes about your plans, and just create because you want to, in literally any way. just something to keep your spirit alive. cheesy as crap but i hope someone finds this helpful, take care ryan love your videos!

    Absolutely amazing,events like these are truly inspiring for artists. It shows us as a reminder to never give up. To keep throwing that bulletin dart into the unknown until it sticks somewhere. SOMETHING WILL gravitate to what you are making. Beautifully made video Ryan, it’s just the reminder I and I’m sure a lot of upcoming artists need to hear or learn. Time shouldn’t be a damper on art, just keep creating, keep making it your joy and one way or another you will win or find what you are looking for.

    Just discovered your channel, this is great! Keep making videos and telling great stories. Fun fact I once started watching the movie Tick Tick Boom but I'm not quite fond of musical movies, so I quit the movie after 20 mins. This meant I never got the full story about Jonathan.
    Now I did and this in a way I like it the most, thought a CZcams video. You told the story of Jonathan in your way, on a platform filled with creatives and aspiring creators.
    Even though a story might already been told or a format has already been done, the person telling the story will always add a unique touch to it.

    This gives such a warm feeling. Who says you need a thousand videos. While the passion will come through in all the videos, but it is one that will be seen and just celebrated. I subscribed to this channel after watching this video that was so heartbreaking, yet also heartwarming at the same time. I'd add though I found you on Jack Contes channel and came to your channel from there. So a bit of being on the radar of other famous people helps. And the responsibility lies with the creator to reach out to folks like Conte who can relate to your videos at an emotional level. (Some time back, Conte made a video himself, and because of that video got to pitch his idea to Casey Neistat - Casey saw that video and loved ti so much he have Conte time!

  • @rainakreeger
    @rainakreeger Před 6 měsíci +1

    I love tick tick boom. The ending changed me. It really made me ask myself why I create, when there are probably millions of artists that reach success after death or perhaps, their art never becomes anything world changing. It's quite a scary thought, because most of us, probably want to create and make a living from it, so we don't have to waste time doing some random jobs, such as being a waiter at a diner lol. But there is one certainty in all of this - your love for your craft. If you enjoy the process, then happiness is already worth more than being successful in something that makes you miserable.
    Also nice video! 1 minute and 10 seconds in, is when I realized what this video is. Then comes up the black screen that looks all too familiar from the movie and then.. the music. I just knew haha. But good job on creating something that resembles that same style! It's funny, my last video (a message to all creatives) also features ideas and parts of this movie and just the story of Jonathan. It's hard to not mention it, when talking about creating and success as an artist. After watching the movie, you're just not the same anymore.
