Going home for an extended break in Scotland to try and sort my head out. 2006 was a mixed bag overall and I really need to take stock and figure out where my life is heading.
Am I an Artist? Am I a Filmmaker? Am I a Photographer? Am I a Videographer? Am I an Editor? Am I a Writer? Am I a Composer? Am I none of the above?
I don’t really know what I am, I have my fingers in so many pies that it’s like I don’t know where to concentrate my efforts. I think I have spent enough time being a jack of all trades and master of none. I know I need to start exhibiting and creating stuff with the intention of showing it off. This need is the driving force behind my existence.
But that isn’t all, I need to figure out the best way to go about achieving this. I’ve been doing freelance video production (mainly post-production) for the last year under the guise of ‘3angle films’ and although I have learned so much from this it’s really been hard work just to eke out a living. I thought that by becoming freelance I would have so much time to work on creative stuff but the truth is that what with having to do some much editing and video work I just don’t have any creative energy left over to work on my own stuff.
Then again a lot of the time I learn stuff because I have to learn it for work. I don’t know my head hurts and I’m all over the shop. Maybe that’s why I am just taking a break from it all for a while…
The other thing is what to do with this website. It is currently a blog but I want to turn it into some kind of delivery mechanism for my work and creative projects. Either way it will have to wait until I get the new 3angle films website up and running…
