Process comes first.
You can never create a great product without first developing a good process. You may not find a great process. It’s likely your process is going to change over time.
But creation depends on process.
In a YouTube video, Romantical (Jonah Feingold) says, “Create the thing. Release the thing, and move on.” In other words, begin to develop your process.
This is what matters most for a creative individual. Figure out how you can create what you want to create and then how you can do it again.
Prioritize emotion. Be honest.
No one out there wants you to create the thing. You must do that on your own. Others may enjoy it later.
The democratization of movie-making has made it easier for anyone to make a movie. However, that doesn’t mean anyone is going to pay you money for it. In fact, it’s become more difficult to make a living creating movies.
So, only become a filmmaker if you love the work!
Make short movies. Make movies for practice. Only create a big-budget movie if you’ve already proven yourself as a movie-maker.
As you refine your process, you’re likely to make better products.
