the last creative tuesday

2020 has been a rough year for many. I don't want to complain, but I do need to follow my heart. Next year I want things to change and find back my passion for filmmaking.
How it Started
On November the 6th, I decided to upload every Tuesday. Later this series was named 'Creative Tuesday'. It's idea was simple: share a tutorial video about filmmaking techniques or video editing.
At the time I graduated from film school and had already worked on many projects for various clients. There was a ton of information and experience in my mind that I wanted to share with the world.
Exhaustion
Today I feel exhausted. I honestly don't know what tutorial to make anymore. I mean, I can continue with producing tutorials for many years, but making tutorials that I feel passionate about has faded.
In the past couple of months I've been thinking a lot about this and trying to figure out what's wrong with me. And I believe that I'm not exhausted with making YouTube videos, but with having a schedule of 'needing' to make tutorials.
Tutorial Videos
When I start to work on a new Creative Tuesday tutorial video, I think of different tips and tricks that I could share. At this point, I have shared everything I know. And this is what makes me feel so bad.
I'm at a ceiling and it's time to break through that ceiling. It's time that I go out and learn new things by experimenting, failing, challenging myself and most import; not limiting myself.
heading into 2021
In 2021 I want to work on various of video projects like short films or film experiments. Projects that don't always succeed, projects that don't always have an educational value. I want to show the creative process behind these projects and hopefully inspire those who chose to watch.
I wish you all happy Holidays, stay safe, but most importantly; Stay Creative!

Jordy, I've greatly enjoyed you guys over the years and have learned a lot from you. But I totally get how something can turn into a grind, especially during this hectic year! I'm glad you're going to change things up and recharge those batteries. An artist needs to do that in order to keep one's passions. I look forward to seeing what 2021 has in store from Cinecom and I wish you and the rest of the guys a very merry holiday and a well deserved time off. Cheers, -Ed in Washington, USA

You guys rock! I work for a TV station editing commercials. I want to put out the best product every time I edit, but sometimes the grind gets to me and it's all I can do to just get it done and out the door! That isn't conducive to creativity. So, I understand the need to take a breath and reevaluate your situation and come up with a new way to stay creative and fresh. Keep up the good work whether it's weekly or monthly or whatever you need.
I have always enjoyed your tutorials and always learned something new. You need to follow your heart and do what is best for you. Best wishes to you.
