THE LIFE OF A CREATIVE

The original plan was to make an epic drum video. It would have a short intro with shots of me taking my drums up to the top of the crag then the main part would be drumming and I would film from different creative angles.

However, about 30 seconds into playing (having got up there with much effort on the hottest day of the year at that point), I was asked to stop. I with the concern raised that I may be scaring animals nearby, I was happy to wrap.

It was frustrating because I had put a lot of effort into shooting the intro only for the main feature to be missing.

I then decided to make this short narrative short film piece from the rushes I had. I thought this whole situation really illustrated the life of those of us who are creatives and the creative process.
