Are you Creatively Burnt Out as a Commercial Filmmaker? - Try this in 2023

This is literally my intention for this year, dialling in the work flow to spread not so long a timeframe. Sometimes The project has to drag because I can only acquire footage in some slow drip manner, but that’s usually because it is a longer documentary piece with many interviews, etc. Smaller commercial projects like you’re describing, when I do those, everything you said is bang on. Short turn around makes a happier client and if it’s good, always impresses. You feel better for delivering. Then it’s done and off your table. Having a gazillion unfinished projects is incredibly taxing on the brain and the heart, even.

Great to hear. Thanks for the comment man!

100000% agree. If I jump into the edit straight after shooting I’m always more excited about it and more creative ideas come whilst it’s fresh in my mind. If I leave it a few weeks after starting multiple other projects, going back to that edit just feels like a chore that needs to be done. Stress builds up and then it’s very hard to match the same creative creative flow..

Totally. Even after posting this video i'm still fighting to keep this balance going haha. If you're not super intentional it'll get away on you.

[@JoshuaKirkNZ]

Cheers for that

[@markusrydberg]

Great video. Will make an effort trying to put this tactic in to my practice next year. I feel I am joggling to many projects at the same time and that makes up for a very long runway until I get back in to the projects vision if I am leaving them on the shelf for to long.. Keep it up! /Markus

[@JoshuaKirkNZ]

Hey Marcus, It's a struggle for sure balancing the shelf life of projects! Keep going :-)
