look being a creative on YouTube being a content creator or YouTube or whatever
you want to call us is not an easy thing but we love it that's why we do this now
we all do it for many different reasons but there's something that ties us all
together is the need and the one to be creative and to share this with other
people...MUSIC.... John here and I am back it's been a while I took off
most of this week I needed rest had a lot of stuff going on but I am back back
to talk to you guys about creativity this has been something that's been
going around in my mind for a couple weeks now about where it comes from and
today I'm not gonna be specifically talking about like where in the brain
does creativity come from more more in the line of what environment around you
is enabling you to be creative to be able to get the best thoughts out of you

creativity creativity creativity is the ability to look at the same thing as
everyone else but see something different
that's what YouTube's about we're out here all creating we're all creating
from our own experiences our own minds and we're all trying to create something
to entertain other people a lot of us get our motivation from watching each
other do what we do it's extremely interesting one of the reasons I loved
family vlogging so much because you could see all these different families
and how they live because that's one thing you don't really get to see in
real life is how other people live behind closed doors you know families of
all different backgrounds living their lives on YouTube it's extremely
interesting to me I like watching different people and the creative things
they make on YouTube I'm always fascinated with the knowledge people
have and how they're not only do they have that knowledge but they're able to
then portray that and share that knowledge on YouTube and that's like the
basis of YouTube you guys know how much I've learned how to do on YouTube it's
amazing I think we're probably all in the same boat you're watching this
probably because you're trying to learn a little bit more about vlogging or
creativity or motivation or something like that you're probably a creator and
you're just trying to find something to get you fired up today to get that
content out I get it I do it every single day not talked to
you guys about having my notebook I have that so I write down all my ideas I
surround myself in an area that if you can't really see behind me but if you go
back to other videos I've created a vlogging wall back here with a lot of
motivational things on it that's what this area is for I have a TV room I have
my treadmills over here and I know you can't see it but if you go in other
vlogs you'll be able to see these things but this room is specifically for me to
come down and be creative but I keep this camera set up right here this is my
EOS Rebel t5i but the shotgun mic on top I got my my lights down here so all I
have to do is come down pop the memory card in because usually I take it up to
edit after that pop the memory card in and I can come down and I can record and
make sure the batteries are charged after I'm done I put the batteries on
charger I come down there's no excuse for me not to come down so that's what
I'm talking about what are you guys doing to make it easy for you to be
creative I write down ideas all of the time but even having those ideas it's
still hard to get the motivation the energy to come down and talk about this
and sometimes it's just if you can get through that first five minutes and one
of the things I've told you guys about I pulled a lot of the things I've done
running and running I always learned that if you could just get your shoes on
get short someone get sure lon and this get moving start walking just start
walking you're gonna you're gonna run you're gonna get they're gonna be oh
that was so much easier did I do that on the treadmill if I could just come down
and get on the treadmill just get that thing turn on and get moving I'll get it
over with that's the same with this I love doing this I'm pastured I love
talking to you guys I love talking about these topics I love hearing your ideas
down there you guys are so talented and I believe in synergy all of the ideas
that we have create a synergistic kind of creativity we learn from one another
it's better than just one mine I can't think of everything but wit together if
we share ideas that's why I like this community but that's what YouTube is
it's a kind of a synergistic creative platform where everyone can get out
there just kind of share their ideas and you can learn from one another I it
still to this day every single day I'm learning something on YouTube and that's
what fascinates me that's what motivates me to be more
creative it's given me an outlet to change how I express myself creatively
my vlogs at the very beginning not really good but those are what was
happening organically with me I've learned a lot now and I'm able to do a
lot better because I've learned my craft and it's made it easier for me to be
creative and express that creativity via this platform Beethoven carried around a
notebook like I do I didn't copy me I kind of copied him I guess Thomas Edison
slept in his lab so that he could be more creative so if you had an idea he
could wake up and take care of it there instead of having to then go to the lab
the next day because you couldn't lose it I sleep with my notebook near me so
that I don't lose if I have an idea I can write it down it's always around me
so that I could do that Hemingway sat in a cafe that was his
creative space that's where he felt most creative and Duke Ellington wrote on
trains see I'm sure there was probably something to the rhythm of the trains I
don't know for sure but that helped him be more creative in his writing in his
music that's what we need to do we need to find that thing that that's space
that allows us to be creative mine happens to be upstairs or running I have
my little space with my laptop and I and I have my book and I'm writing and I'm
watching things in the CAHSEE an editing technique like I want to learn how to do
that I'll teach myself that well I won't teach myself I'll have someone else
teach me and I'll learn it make youtube and then I come down on my space down
here it's quiet for the most part I have everything that I need my camera's
already set up down here to stay set up down here I pop in the memory card flip
it on and I'm ready to record and talk to you it's making it easier for me to
come down and do this so if I have to take my camera out of something if I
have to put the rode mic on top and I gotta set up the lights and I got to put
do put everything I'm probably not gonna do it just cuz if it takes me 10 or 15
minutes to get ready to shoot the motivation this won't be there so I keep
everything ready always I learned that from Peter McKinnon because he showed
his setup before and he said he always kept everything out I'm like you know
that's a pretty good idea he's put everything away just because I was
always worried something wasn't happened to it but if you can keep your stuff out
I don't know I know some people have kids that are younger and you probably
don't want to keep it out but I can do that now my kids are old enough they do
not to come down and mess with the camera so it kind of works now
creativity can be a funny thing as you get older you can be less creative
because you're not able to get into a place as creative
children are really creative they have a really large imagination and that's one
of the things we lose as we get older when you're a kid at about five you you
laugh about 113 times a day by the time you're my age we're probably about 44
I'm 41 right now that shrinks down to about I think it's about 11 times a day
laughing really 11 it from 113 to 11 that's sad
no it's again that's not a rule for everyone but just in general according
to this study I read no one also at five years old you do things like ask
questions you ask about ninety eight questions on average at about five and
by the time you get to 44 that shrinks down to about six asking questions is
another motivating thing trying to figure out why things are the way they
are and why they should be what can you do to change things those are all things
that can help you in the creative process you need to create a motivating
environment for yourself whether it's away in a shed somewhere if it's in a
room that is just specifically for you to be creative and do your YouTube thing
or whatever it is as painting or writing you need to have a space that's gonna
help you facilitate that creativity if you're in a place where it's stressful
and you it's disorganized it's gonna be really hard to be creative and add a
kind of environment it just really is I know that me clutter completely stresses
me out I feel like I need to have my mind and order to be able to do things
and I think probably most people that way you've ever been in a room that's so
messy like you don't even know where to start it's throwing you off that much
you imagine being in a house like that your house is so disorganized that you
can't even begin to do the things you want to do because it's killing your
motivation right at the front but if things aren't neat and tidy put away and
you can have a creative space like that you can go there and it could be nothing
you have to think about nothing but the creative process and what you're trying
to do these spaces could be anywhere they could be in the bathtub going to
the bathroom taking a shower or going for a run those could be your creative
times that you're thinking and kind of going through the ideas that you have I
use that running is a huge one for me running I can think so much and so much
more clearly because I can't I don't really have to think about anything
other than not tripping and then about the
I want to think about it really is relaxing and healthy for you to sit and
be able to clear your mind and think about nothing but your ideas and what
you want to do what is your creative space look like to you are you are you
setting yourself up for success by having a creative space specifically for
you to do what you need to do family vlogging is a little different I do that
too and that is kind of this out there but kind of trying to think about
storylines when I go through them trying to organize myself I need some place
that I can think about that because it is difficult to think about you know 30
or 40 short clips like how does that all fit together as you're doing it you have
to do some planning so you need a space that will allow you to kind of be
creative and make and help you think about that kind of stuff
daydreaming is an extremely important thing people used to you know when
you're a kid people tell you not to daydream they tell you not to look out
the window the answers not on the ceiling you need to be able to do that
because I think daydreaming is such a powerful thing that's what helps you
think of the next big thing that's what helps you get your ideas in order that's
what helps you think outside of the box let me read you a quote here they should
have it memorized by now but I don't want to get it wrong all men dream but
not equally those who dream by night and the dusty recesses of their minds wake
and the day to find that it was vanity but dreamers of the day are dangerous
men for they may act on their dreams with open eyes to make it possible
that's TE Lawrence and the Seven Pillars of wisdom look being a creative on
YouTube being a content creator or youtuber or whatever you want to call us
it's not an easy thing but we love it that's why we do this now we all do it
for many different reasons but there's something that ties us all together is
the need and the one to be creative and to share this with other people now go
out find your creative space challenge how you think put yourself in different
spots you know just like anything like working out your body can become
completely used to how you work out and you start doesn't be stagnated challenge
how you think change it up what can you do to kind of challenge yourself to
think outside the box think about things differently that's what you need to do
to really dig deep and get creative as you get older our minds are not what
they were kids our imaginations start to shrink
the possibility start to shrink but what can you do to grow that what can you do
to change that to actually expand your imagination expand your ideas think
outside the box stop limiting yourself I really love to see your comments below
about what you think creativity is to you how you harness that how you
facilitate it how you feed your creativity do you have a creative space
