Today was the fifth day that I created something for my Create something every
day project. It's going well. I created
something each day. A few days I even created more things. If you would like to
know what's going on here please check out the website.
Creating something every day is about creativity and about failure. When you
have create something every day, you have a lot of opportunities to fail. Failure in
the sense that I created something that wasn't really good. Because even when
it's bad, it will go on the website. This way I don't have to care about
perfection. Only about production and practice.
This year I'm going to make a movie. People will wonder: "Why are you going to
make a movie? You're a software developer. You don't know anything about
filmmaking." They would be right. I don't care. And I will learn something in
the process.
I think we live in an amazing time for creating beautiful stuff. Cameras aren't
that expensive. Maybe someone has a camera lying around somewhere. Distributing
the video on the internet isn't very hard.
My current plan looks like this:
Find a few people who are interested in creating a movie
Write a script, storyboards, screenplay
Find some more people
Shoot the video
Edit
Distribute
And sure, this is not the whole story. Each of these steps consists of more
steps and more stuff that I don't know.
