Ah yes, imposter syndrome. Any creative person one time or another exhibits or goes through phases of this, to some degree.

Indeed, a natural creative process!

I feel like it is an ongoing struggle for some, if not most. Especially when reaching new milestones or taking on new challenges.

I've recently started to appreciate the art of 'film making', photos, videos--all things visual--when I bought a drone and started taking pictures. At first they didn't come out the way they thought I would, so I started struggling, learning, and discovered there's an art and a science to it all. I can't even imagine the incredible complexity, attention to detail, and incredible creativity required to make a film or a movie, even taking a photo with my drone is pretty overwhelming. But I have definitely fallen in love with youtube, youtube videos, interviews, and particularly Casey Neistat's film making applied to daily vlogs.

It’s definitely something that requires a lot of practice, like all art forms! Thanks for sharing Joaquin.

I never got into Casey Neistat but maybe it’s about time I check him out :)

He has a few videos where he breaks down how he makes his daily vlogs, and I found those absolutely fascinating. Coupled with watching some of his most interesting films, I can watch him all day on any subject now.

I’ll definitely check him out. Thanks again :)

That's so cool, Joaquin! Thank you for sharing your experience with taking photographs with a drone. I've only ever played with a drone, but take photographs, that must be even more difficult!

At first I thought it was easy, straight forward, then once I got into it and learned more about it, the more I realize it's an art in its own right.
