One story can change everything, and there's no doubt that you're making it happen. We're humbled and excited to be part of your journey with Luka & Nika! You're an incredible storyteller, and more amazing tales await. Stay creamy, you're doing something truly remarkable!
For me, creative freedom is like a big open sky where all my thoughts can fly. It's the little ideas that pop up in my mind, the dreams that spin in my head, and the courage that lets me keep going even when things get tough. It's not just something I like to have, but something I need to create... Peace and Love! ~:: STAY CREAMY ::~ ✌💝😘 ~Mo the Seeker
Creative freedom is really the ability to enjoy the process of creating, whether you have thousands of followers or 2. My life's vision is to "create positivity for myself and those around me" This personal vision drives my creativity and all that I do. These two videos explore what creativity is to me th-cam.com/video/EzvlccL7Pms/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/K6hyvG14HOg/w-d-xo.html
I’m sure each of us at one point looked at life early on with the pure excitement for what’s to come, only for most to settle on a typical career outside of the creative arts. Having a creative outlet still gives hope that one day you can utilize that creative ability and everything will fall into place to experience life truly free doing what we love. For me it’s being able to connect with incredible people exploring places you’ve always dreamed of through film and photography 🕊️🎥
creative freedom to me means the ability to let my ideas loose without any fear of being shot down by uncreative people, being able to tell stories my way in my own pace
*Creative freedom for me is having the freedom to tell stories through making videos and taking photos by my own rules, ideas and creativity without the fear of not being good enough for not having the complete gears or knowledge to create. Just creating and sharing to the world your art style and then grow from there.*
for me creative freedom means having the ability to express myself and explore my passions without limitations or constraints. So I can be fully be myself and inspire people in that way.
Creative freedom is the boundless expanse where artists soar, unrestricted in expressing their inner visions and unbridled imagination. It empowers us to paint with audacious strokes, compose symphonies of unconventional notes, and craft narratives that defy the gravity of ordinary tales.
"You're crying?" Well, I certainly do. This video really hit me because I've been through something similar. A couple of years ago, I posted a song I made on TH-cam, and someone from Disney noticed it. That opened doors for me to compose music for Star Wars and other cool projects. But most importantly it changed my life, allowing me to drop out of high school at 17 and pursue the life I truly wanted. So, put your art out there - you never know what may come :)
Creative freedom is being able to produce something that truly resonates with yourself without being hindered by time, money, audience, and algorithms :) You inspire me so much man. Thanks for existing.
For me, creative freedom is when you are living life on your terms and doing what you love and are passionate about in a way that you are able to provide for yourself, but in turn are able to provide for others by giving back to the community and inspiring others to follow their dreams.
To me, creative freedom means having the liberty to explore the uncharted territories of my mind and to express the thoughts, feelings, and ideas that stir within me in any medium I choose. It's a journey of self-discovery and a conduit for growth. Creative freedom allows my unique voice to resonate in the vast symphony of existence.
Creative freedom is a majestic river that flows through the vast landscapes of our imagination, nourishing the roots of our deepest emotions. It is the soaring bird that dances effortlessly in the boundless sky, painting the heavens with its vibrant feathers. Like an exquisite symphony, creative freedom orchestrates the symphony of our souls, allowing us to harmonize our innermost thoughts and feelings into a masterpiece of self-expression. It is the gentle breeze that whispers secrets to our hearts, inviting us to explore uncharted territories and break free from the chains of conformity. In the realm of creative freedom, our emotions become the vibrant palette from which we paint our stories. It is a sentimental journey, where every stroke of the brush carries the weight of our dreams, fears, and desires. Like a skilled artist, we blend hues of joy and sorrow, longing and fulfillment, creating a tapestry of emotions that resonates with the depths of our being. With each stroke, we unlock the floodgates of our heart, pouring our soul onto the canvas of existence. Creative freedom allows us to encapsulate the essence of our sentiments, immortalizing them in a timeless work of art. Creative freedom is an intimate dance with the intangible, an exploration of the raw essence of our emotions. It is a sentimental sanctuary where we can wander freely amidst the landscapes of our inner world, unafraid of judgment or restraint. It is in this sacred space that we can unravel the threads of our deepest desires and weave them into the fabric of reality. Like a poet crafting verses of passion, we mold our emotions into tangible forms, giving voice to the unspoken melodies that resonate within our souls. Creative freedom awakens our sentimental nature, allowing us to navigate the intricate maze of our emotions and discover the profound beauty that lies within.🙇♂️🌄
Holy moly, you just know how to inspire people... And all of that in a truely authentic way! Creative freedom is like a throwback to the good old childhood days. Just going out with your friends, experimenting, doing dumb stuff without knowing the outcome. Just enjoying the raw moments and endless possibilites in life without having the pressure to perform or to disappoint someone else. No matter how small and simple things might seem, in the end these raw moments reveal themselves as truely priceless. Same goes for creative freedom. As you said "one story can change everything". And having the freedom to search for this story... priceless.
WOW! I've used that exact shot in SO many videos and I had no idea what the backstory was. Basically in tears right now. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing this amazing story with us!
Sam, this is probably my lowest point in my career so far - I'm 3 years in and finally getting an idea of what I want to do and the stories I want to tell. But finances are going to crap, my car just blew up, and all the work I've been putting into my business the last year hasn't been fruitful (yet). I've just been feeling really down lately and the message in this video really helped me remember that I never know when something good will happen, and I need to keep pushing to create the best I can for whatever project I'm a part of. Creative freedom to me means helping others tell stories, and making amazing relationships and connecting on deep levels with other people, all while being financially supported to do so.
bro yes thats a down fall but from here its only up , im a creator from ukrain we lost all our gear and home a year ago we had to flew the country and start fresh from scrash , no help just camera thats in the phone , just as easy as car blows up our life as well , hope u doing better by reading this , we all are in crap place untill we realize that where we are is where we need to be to change for good for our lifes and life around u
I love this. You two have inspired me to keep going. So let's keep it fucking moving and make everyone and everything better. No matter the circumstance.
In a couple of sentences: Creative freedom is a vital aspect of human expression and co-existence. Creative freedom not only empowers self-expression and self-discovery but it fuels innovation, reveals new perspectives, and connects you to the world around you. but also lol... Me, all of a sudden having so many thoughts about creative freedom: Creative freedom necessitates the absence of external and internal constraints; whether imposed by governments, institutions, societal norms, commercial interests, or our own self-doubt and limiting beliefs. It allows individuals to push boundaries, challenge conventions, and pursue unconventional or controversial ideas. However, creative freedom is not absolute and can sometimes collide with ethical considerations or legal boundaries. Balancing the preservation of creative freedom with the protection of individual and collective well-being is critical. Overall, though, creative freedom provides the space for experimentation, risk-taking, and the exploration of new artistic territories. Creators thrive when they have the freedom to follow their instincts, explore their unique visions, and convey their messages authentically. Creative freedom empowers individuals to express their unique identities and experiences, leading to greater self-discovery and emotional well-being. I believe the quality of life correlates with (among other things) the amount of freedom one has when it comes to their creativity. By providing an outlet for imagination and innovation, creative freedom fuels not only artistic endeavors but technological, medical, and structural advancements, in turn, stimulating economic growth and cultural vibrancy! Preserving and promoting creative freedom is crucial for nurturing an effervescent, inclusive, and dynamic creative landscape that reflects the diversity of human experiences and aspirations. P.S. Thank you for sharing your light with us and for the opportunity to receive an Artlist subscription! I hope all is well with you, take care!
In a world of reels and tic toks society has fallen off and lost its creative freedom. Creative Freedom means to fully let go of everything around you and it's the idea of just creating pure original art from heart.
to me it means the ability to create things that you not only feel proud of, but also allows you to share an experience. For instance, anyone can create a video about a trip but to create a video that you passionately enjoyed making, where people who see it can feel the emotions, and even feel like they were there themselves. That's creative freedom.
Creative freedom to me is being able to create the work I want when I want and not have factors such as deadlines, requirements and financials clouding the pure enjoyment that the act of creating gives me. It’s so easy to lose your passion when creating becomes your job and it’s important to remind yourself why you’ve ended up doing it in the first place
Creative Freedom for me as a filmmaker, I am free from restrictions, regulations, and other influences, which is an exhilarating state of unrestricted imagination. It gives me the ability to bring my thoughts to life, unapologetically venturing into unknown territory, pushing the bounds of what is possible, and expressing profound ideas that have a tremendous impact on both my audience and myself.
To me, creative freedom means I get to create the content (music, video, short film, etc) the way I want to. For me as an aspiring cinematographer, it means I am trusted to design and carry out the lighting, shot angles, framing/composition, camera movement, etc, in a way that makes me happy (even though satisfaction with my work is short lived as my “taste” develops to higher and higher levels).
Creative freedom is the ultimate liberation, allowing me to immerse myself in my passion without any constraints. It's the power to break free from the monotony of work and school and indulge in the pure joy of doing something beautiful, something that truly reflects who I am, doing what I love, creating.
Love how you connect your story with another creator that Artlist supported as well! Creative freedom means I can wake up still have peace in mind that I can create anything I may want. It's just how much work and time I want to put it for each piece of content. Creative freedom also means to me to support my family and parents, knowing that they will be okay.
creative freedom is living wild & creating art from a list you've had for many years but never been able to, it's a freedom fuelled with passion & a drive to tell a story
For me, creative freedom means being able to say what I think. No matter who I am and where I am. We're most creative, when we've got something to say, not when we've got to say something. Thanks a lot for the possibility to participate, I wish you all best of luck!
Creative freedom is creating what feels right. It's capturing certain moments by mistake and being able to tell beautiful stories with the worst of footage.
Hi! Panama based filmmaker here! I just got inspired by your video to keep going in this business. For me creative freedom is that, the ability to choose your path even if its hard sometimes just keep going and doing what you love. Ive been in the business for almost 10 years now and would not have chose another path. Creativity is what has kept me going. Thank you for this Sam.
Creative freedom is the free pursuit of making your ideas tangible with just enough constraint. It's the joy of working on something until it's ready and giving it wings.
Creative freedom for me is creating the things that made you pick up the camera in the first place and the things that keeps you moving forward, that makes you want to become better at your craft
Creative freedom for me means leaving my comfort zone to give feelings a space to be experienced by others in a visual, auditory and kinesthetic way, to give them a sense of community and understanding. This is exactly why I watch this video here. Why I watch any kind of video. We all have our story and I dream of telling mine now. As a creative person, with my camper jeep and a roof tent on the road as a perpetual student, getting to know this planet, cultures and other people. Like Luka & Nika and telling stories that give us all something. Thank you and greetings from Germany ✌🏽
Creative freedom means pushing the boundaries of storytelling and seeing what I can get away with. “How edgy and different can this possibly be?” Creative freedom is putting myself on the line and giving it my all for a single message or emotion. It’s hitting the road with one small backpack and a camera, being inspired by a new journey and finding something in it that the world around me might be inspired by, too.
The opportunity to devote yourself fully to your creative, sometimes crazy ideas and not have to worry about your own future. That is creative freedom for me.
Creative freedom is the way you convey what you truly feel. You incorporate reality with the fantasy and magic that we all carry inside. You bring creativity to every moment of your life, which defines you as a genuine person. That creative freedom makes you what you've always wanted to be. Excellent video Sam Newton ! Love the way you transmite your creative freedom.
Sam- You're the first youtube video I've commented on. I firmly believe that we all have a story to tell and this video inspires me to put myself out there and follow my passion and dreams. You can't change the world if you don't try. Here's to the beginning of our new lives of creativity!
Creative freedom is the sanctuary where I can boldly shape worlds, weave stories, and ignite emotions, embracing the sheer joy of unfettered expression and the power to touch hearts, one frame of inspiration at a time.
Within the realm of filmmaking, the pursuit of creative freedom stands as an unwavering beacon, guiding artists to unfettered expression and boundless possibilities. A future love for any creativity expression isn't real, it only exists in your present activity, "the next shot, the next upload" can change everything. For a long time, I created from a place of fear and uncertainty, and after uploading videos regularly onto my channel for almost 2 years, I've finally reached a place of authentic expression. Free from the worries of what the future will hold. And a of that has been influenced by creators like you. When I saw your Peter Mckinon video take off, I was super stoked for you. (I also wanted to start wearing white turtle necks!!! LOL) It changed the way I viewed creativity, especially in the TH-cam world. And now this video has also opened up my mind to the possibility of creating for Artlist/Grid. I too have the exact same dream, my partner and I are moving to Portugal this September where I plan on making the step into full time content creating and hope to one day be able to support myself through the lens of creative freedom. Free from fear and uncertainty. And that is what creative freedom means to me. Trusting that anyone of my video can change everything. Love from a creative in CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA!!!
Creative freedom was almost perfectly summarised in this video. Having the opportunity to give our time to the things that feed our soul. not just for money. If having true creative freedom was easy, then we would all have it. But staying strong and continuously working towards having our moment like Luka, Nika or you Sam. This is where true creative freedom lives. It only means everything when you've given everything back.
Creative freedom for me is the ability to tell my story of health and becoming a better parent. It’s something I can do through video with something as simple as my smart phone.
Being able to not worry to impress someone but going that extra mile so you feel that you did justice to your work is what makes me feel free. Creating beyond boundaries is what freedom is.
Creative Freedom to me is the freedom to tell stories for the sake of telling stories--free from external pressures--the need to pay bills, the need to please others, gain recognition, or feel deep. Just getting to play and express whatever is going on in my head, whether that is something so ridiculous and silly, or something that moves me to the core.
The idea of creative freedom is a constant variable. A project that makes you feel fulfilled at one point in your journey might make you feel as if you’re dragging your feet through it the next time. I’m constantly following what fills me up in the moment as far as creating and not allowing external pressures to work on things that empty my cup. Creating based on what matters to me and my unique perspective of the world is what true creative freedom means to me.
Creative freedom for me is all about self discovery. I often find myself on autopilot in the corporate world but I often remind myself that we have one chance at life and life is what happens out there. Creative freedom is self discovery.
letting go of your fears , whichever they might be , and daring to explore out of your comfort zone and into your own creativity , without any external factors that might cloud your mind or distract you. Thats how i like to work , and that’s creative freedom to me
Creative freedom feels like being able to express myself in various art forms, unbounded by the limitations of my doubts and insecurities. It is being myself authentically and ultimately Living full to die empty. This is what creative freedom feels like to me.
Creative freedom is to take whatever means you have, camera, phone, etc and capturing the moments in life, doing the things that you enjoy the most. For me, camping, fishing, anything outdoors, and taking my dogs with me and just enjoying the moment.
Creative freedom, to me, means being able to create art that you are truly making for yourself. Not to get seen by a company, not to make money off it, but only creating it because the process of it genuinely makes you happy. Creating for ourselves without any expectations are some of the best ways to eventually get noticed and make it your career (if that's what you're going for) and this video reminds me that as long as you keep going and creating, you never know what kind of good it can bring you!
Creative freedom is born when there are no foreign agendas, deadlines, or specific budgets. You bring to life an idea that originated only from your being. You never feel limited by your resources, and your passion fuels the execution. Artlist is a great partner and facilitator to polish, and even elevate your story.
Freedom is paramount. It encompasses the power to shape and manifest my desires without concern for external influence. Creative freedom pertains to me is to articulate my artistic vision and exercise imaginative choices without substantial restrictions .
Creative freedom to me means making the content that you as an individual want to make, without restrictions or editorial restraints. It means having an idea that you can visualise, and taking that idea from thought through to final concept, without instructions and dictations from others. However, that’s not to say you can’t accept input from others or collaborate on a project. Creative freedom also means having the ability to accept an assignment for a client but being able to produce the work in your own style and vision. Another cracking film Sam, I always enjoy watching your work, your ability to story tell and take the viewers on an emotional rollercoaster is amazing. You’ve actually inspired me to start my own channel (well, two channels with different content) and I’m in the process of getting started. An Artist subscription would be amazing, wether that’s through a giveaway like this or actually subscribing! Keep up the good work mate!
Creative freedom is the feeling of having reached a point in your life where your name and your work mean more than the urge to be exactly what people need you to be. Finally, your style is something that people look up to and only you can provide - being you. Freedom is waking up excited for the story that you're going to show, instead of feeling cringe and having doubts about everything you create. It's a feeling that I urge to have one day.
Hello, Sam I feel that creative freedom is the wind that drives our ideas, feelings, even problems, that makes us fly to different infinite possibilities.
Creative freedom to me is having that privilege to create without limitations and i love the fact that it empowers me to fully express myself, unleash my imagination and create meaningful and impactful work.
We are just starting out on our own #vanlife adventures and coincidentally we have an Adria van similar to Luka and Nika. Creative Freedom for us is the ever-changing scenery, encounters with different people, exposure to diverse cultures, inspiring other artists, writers, photographers, and other creative individuals. Having the freedom to travel and explore new places will provide us with a constant source of inspiration for our work moving forward. The music that Artlist provide would be the perfect tonic for that content. Thank you and good luck everyone.
To me, creative freedom means being able to work on projects that inspires me and being able to transcend in work that really reflect who I am. Being able to tell story that I want to tell but also telling stories that motivates me and resonates with me even if not my own. Creative freedom is being able to create using my vision of things rather than having to stay in a box. Cheers Sam, always loved your vids, always will. This was inspiring!
Creative freedom means a life of purpose and freedom. It means I can pursue my passion and share stories without the chains of a 9-5. Lastly it means I can spend more time with the people I love. love your stuff on another note, keep it up.
Creative Freedom to me isn't about views, likes, or popularity, but capturing those moments that are life changing. To be able to capture true emotion of some ones life is something I will cherish forever and hope to continue doing so in the future.
Thanks for the video! This is what was needed now! The video came out at the moment when I've been sitting on another project for a whole week. And it's time to slow down a little and look around.😉
Creative freedom in filmmaking is when directors and DPs can make movies exactly how they want without anyone telling them what to do. They can choose how to tell the story, what it looks like, and what it's all about. It's like having the power to use their imaginations and be creative without any rules holding them back. This means they can make movies that are different and unique, and they can try new things that nobody has seen before. So, creative freedom is like a big open door for filmmakers to let their awesome ideas fly and make really cool movies. Thanks for the vid!
Hey Sam! I found your channel not too long ago and I really wished I found you sooner. I'm almost out of college but you've changed my perspective on content creation. So creative freedom to me is to bring a new perspective to your audience. It means to break the rules of filmmaking to tell the story a new way.
Creative freedom to me Sam & folks in artlist :) is the ability to realise the art while embracing the risks, without caring about the money, but instead care about the passion and soul you put into the work that the audience can immerse and be motivated but also connect with you. To care about the message and impact you want to share without someone telling you what to do as your art expresses your soul and vision, not someone else’s. *mic drop*
Creative freedom to me is one of the most powerful instruments to have. There are no boundaries or limits. With creativity and fantasy everything is possible. Just as through a child's eyes. Once you realize creative freedom is not just living in your art but in your life and heart, you will find true happiness.
My creative freedom to me means to be a better filmmaker and inspire others to do the same thing and do something in their lives And the important one is to make memories with people that have the same passion, surround yourself with people that push you forward, Look for people who share similar goals, passions, or interests. Connect with individuals who are driven, ambitious, and motivated to excel in their respective fields
Creative freedom is storytelling, plain and simple. No limits, no one telling you what you can and can’t say, just telling the stories that you want to, or for some have to, tell.
Creative freedom to me is to express, explore and experiment without compromise. That divine moment when you are in the zone that time stands still & everyday realities fall away for a while.
Sam your videos always come on at the right time. I just left my full time job to get a jumpstart in my creative career. Having access to assets like Artlist would make a huge impact for my videos. Congrats on where you’ve come!
Having creative freedom is like waking up everyday with no plans and still having the best day ever. Sometimes you’ll hear a song and an idea will just come to mind. You write down a concept or shot list and get your mates involved in the shoot to and once everything has been shot you can do whatever you want with it. Yet you know EXACTLY what to do with it. You can piece it together bit by bit and in the end you get this incredible feeling of fulfilment that you just made the best video ever! Why? Cause you get to do it YOUR way. That’s what creative freedom is all about.
Five years ago, during an outing, I tried to make a travel video. It was the video that made me realize I could tell a story with my phone. I bought some equipment, watched a lot of video tutorials on filming and editing. And that journey has led me to a new career. I was very happy doing filming and editing. But sometimes, the pressure from this job, the unreasonable requests of customers make me hate the job that I used to love. I realize it's been a long time since I've used the camera for personal projects, for travel, or for capturing family moments. Instead, I only use the camera for filming when working with my clients. I realized that I needed to find my creative freedom again. That's why I started this job and kept doing it. Thank you Sam, your stories are always interesting and inspiring. They help me a lot when I feel lost and disoriented at work. 😍
Creative freedom to me means this... more time to tell stories that will inspire others to do the same. Whenever I feel stressed or that there's not enough time in the day with my normal 9-5, and I'm tired, watching one of your videos always helps motivate me to just keep going. Id love to be able to do that for someone else, just as you've done for me.
Creative Freedom. For years, I've been thinking, experimenting, contemplating, procrastinating, and just downright being unsure of what exactly I wanted to create. I knew I had a passion for videography and photography. I knew I wanted to put my efforts into a youtube channel and bring to life the ideas in my mind. So I actually started my channel and have experimented with some different shortform videos for the past couple of months, but still was unsure of how I wanted to proceed. Until recently.... then, some simple ideas came to light for me and a weight was lifted from my shoulders....direction was now present. Creative freedom to me is the feeling of now knowing a direction I'm taking in my journey. So...thats what I'm now doing, putting my efforts into the work involved to create some of my videos to post in the future in the hopes that one day, I will be able to invoke an emotion in a viewer and help them feel, reflect, relate, reminisce, or just smile. Thought I'd take a moment to share that here because Sam's channel has been an inspiration to myself and many others on a similar path.
The ability to fearlessly share the visions, ideas, and stories deep within you, using your unique creative skills to uplift others. It is creating without fear of judgment, knowing your work has the power to positively impact lives. Even if it goes unnoticed, you can be proud of creating something meaningful. That's what creative freedom means to me. It is something I am actively trying to step into more and more during this season of life. Loved this video man! Your storytelling consistently blows me away.
Creative freedom is the cornerstone of my artistic journey, transcending boundaries and igniting a profound sense of authenticity in my creations. It empowers me to tell stories that surpass my own existence, infusing my art with a pure love untainted by predefined expectations. By breathing life into my ideas and fearlessly exploring uncharted realms, I unlock new opportunities that extend beyond the predictable, ultimately enhancing my quality of life.
To me, creative freedom means embracing the joys and sorrows of being a creative, as well as loving who and where you are in this journey of living a creative life.
Creative freedom for me is capturing every moment no matter how small but there's a meaning and emotion that hides in you and reminds you when you scroll through your feeds, You ask yourself a question "Why did I capture that moment?" and there's no answer to it, It's JUST
Creative freedom means having the ability to execute an idea that is in your own head and no one else's, and bringing that idea to life not having to answer to anyone but yourself. That is MY dream!
Creative freedom to me is just being able to create what I want and not worry about what others think about it... to be happy with my work because I know what I've put in to it and how much of myself I've poured into the project. Love your videos Sam! Keep inspiring 👊
Freedom means everything. The ability to create what I want and how I want without worrying about the input from others is everything. If someone hires you based on your work but then tell you to adopt a different a style it’s literally the worst scenario in my mind and dramatically hinders my ability to let lose creatively.
Creative freedom to me, coming from a job that literally brought me into mental health problems a few years ago, means to be able to work and still be there to watch my son grow up. Not about becoming rich and famous, not about becoming the best filmmaker in the world but about being able to provide for my family while working in my own pace.
To have creative freedom to me means that i can fully be engaged with the beauty as well as the art of filmmaking. Something that can only be established through the creative freedom of each individual behind the lens. To chase your own creative dream and vision without getting scared of failing due to social pressure. No trends and reels, no pressure and deadlines. Creative freedom is what inspires us to create our stories and our legacies.
Creative freedom to me means being able to shoot the photos, videos or create whatever I want. I’ve never felt so motivated to create then after spending the last 4 days shooting BROLL for my companies conference and seeing the work that I did come together to make an incredible idea come to life. I was given the freedom to shoot what I wanted and how I wanted to do it and it turned out incredibly!
For me, creative freedom has always meant capturing LIFE. When you work with clients you always have a brief and you work on creating a specific video. But a video like this one just captures life. Those everyday moments that you hold are special that others don't understand. So I guess for me creative freedom means being able to capture the world in the ways that I find intriguing and unique.
Creative freedom is waking up every morning with the ability to tell your message and share your story with the world. It's not being constrained by corporations just looking to pad their bottom line. It's having a safe space to experiment with your art, fail, iterate, and improve it to grow as a creative. Above all else, creative freedom means being alive and sharing the most authentic and genuine stories you possibly can.
Hey Sam & Artlist, Creative freedom to me, as a 14-year-old cinematographer and video editor, is like a symphony of infinite possibilities. Your Videos are really make me Feel like doing it keeping all the other things aside and that makes me happy. Couldn't buy the Artlist account Because i don't want my parents to be giving me money and want to do everything that I can do on my own. Hoping to win this Giveaway!😇
Creative freedom to me arrives when you can put every inch of your soul on the piece of art you’re trying to deliver to the world. Without limitations, not the budget, not the guidelines…just your inner voice taking full part and re arranging all the elements into one message
Creative freedom is when you are fully in love with your craft, and so much so that you push through any blocks that come your way. It is creating purely from the inspiration in heart and expressing your unique self through your work.
Creative freedom to me is like a daydream. Not hindered by restrictions, limitations, or judgement, but to live and experience the fulfillment that comes from fully letting your mind and soul wander into an existence of your creation.
Creative freedom for me means going to my garden every day and beeing able to edit a video on my laptop outside without having to answer any phonecalls or messages, creating just listening to the birds, knowing that im able to live my life just working from home and that im able to provide to my wife and my 3 year old son without even leaving the house gives me an huge amount of creative freedom.
Creative freedom for me is having the ability to express my ideas and artistic vision without external constrains or limitation. The freedom to explore my creativity without being restricted by rules.
Creative freedom is having the power and tools to make the master pieces envisioned in our minds and bring them to life. Having the resources to share our art with the world. Much love, from Portugal ;)
Creative freedom to me means to me, taking a ideal that I’ve had in my mind for the past two years to honor a fallen friend. It’s not about if the rest of the world likes it. It’s about me putting my all into honoring my best friend and putting all my love and feeling losing him into a project to hour our friendship and his life. That’ s what creative freedom is to me.
Creative Freedom for me is when I create solely based on the feeling I have inside. Not weighing in other peoples opinions. Not planing everything in detail. The freedom is for me being there in the moment. Going with the flow of what is. 💫
Such an amazing photo, I had never seen that one before. Creative freedom - whatever the medium, being able to show the world something you had a part in making. Whether it is a photo, a drawing, a painting, metallurgy, leather or a video.

One story can change everything, and there's no doubt that you're making it happen. We're humbled and excited to be part of your journey with Luka & Nika! You're an incredible storyteller, and more amazing tales await. Stay creamy, you're doing something truly remarkable!
For me, creative freedom is like a big open sky where all my thoughts can fly. It's the little ideas that pop up in my mind, the dreams that spin in my head, and the courage that lets me keep going even when things get tough. It's not just something I like to have, but something I need to create... Peace and Love! ~:: STAY CREAMY ::~ ✌💝😘 ~Mo the Seeker
I second that @Artlist. I'm a big fan of Sam Newton's style, especially how he presents things and his unique perspective on the world.
Creative freedom is really the ability to enjoy the process of creating, whether you have thousands of followers or 2. My life's vision is to "create positivity for myself and those around me" This personal vision drives my creativity and all that I do. These two videos explore what creativity is to me th-cam.com/video/EzvlccL7Pms/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/K6hyvG14HOg/w-d-xo.html
I’m sure each of us at one point looked at life early on with the pure excitement for what’s to come, only for most to settle on a typical career outside of the creative arts. Having a creative outlet still gives hope that one day you can utilize that creative ability and everything will fall into place to experience life truly free doing what we love. For me it’s being able to connect with incredible people exploring places you’ve always dreamed of through film and photography 🕊️🎥
creative freedom to me means the ability to let my ideas loose without any fear of being shot down by uncreative people, being able to tell stories my way in my own pace
*Creative freedom for me is having the freedom to tell stories through making videos and taking photos by my own rules, ideas and creativity without the fear of not being good enough for not having the complete gears or knowledge to create. Just creating and sharing to the world your art style and then grow from there.*
The freedom to create is the freedom to live. Creating is like dreaming with our eyes open.
for me creative freedom means having the ability to express myself and explore my passions without limitations or constraints. So I can be fully be myself and inspire people in that way.
creative freedom is hard to describe. I think being truly free is to tell a story I think I can be a voice for the voiceless
Creative freedom is the boundless expanse where artists soar, unrestricted in expressing their inner visions and unbridled imagination. It empowers us to paint with audacious strokes, compose symphonies of unconventional notes, and craft narratives that defy the gravity of ordinary tales.
"You're crying?"
Well, I certainly do. This video really hit me because I've been through something similar.
A couple of years ago, I posted a song I made on TH-cam, and someone from Disney noticed it.
That opened doors for me to compose music for Star Wars and other cool projects. But most importantly it changed my life, allowing me to drop out of high school at 17 and pursue the life I truly wanted.
So, put your art out there - you never know what may come :)
Your story is truly inspirational!
@@dinhtuananhvnu Thank you!
Creative freedom is being able to produce something that truly resonates with yourself without being hindered by time, money, audience, and algorithms :)
You inspire me so much man. Thanks for existing.
For me, creative freedom is when you are living life on your terms and doing what you love and are passionate about in a way that you are able to provide for yourself, but in turn are able to provide for others by giving back to the community and inspiring others to follow their dreams.
To me, creative freedom means having the liberty to explore the uncharted territories of my mind and to express the thoughts, feelings, and ideas that stir within me in any medium I choose. It's a journey of self-discovery and a conduit for growth. Creative freedom allows my unique voice to resonate in the vast symphony of existence.
One video/artwork/song/write-up...... can change everything.
Thank you Sam for being amazing!!!
Creative freedom is a majestic river that flows through the vast landscapes of our imagination, nourishing the roots of our deepest emotions. It is the soaring bird that dances effortlessly in the boundless sky, painting the heavens with its vibrant feathers. Like an exquisite symphony, creative freedom orchestrates the symphony of our souls, allowing us to harmonize our innermost thoughts and feelings into a masterpiece of self-expression. It is the gentle breeze that whispers secrets to our hearts, inviting us to explore uncharted territories and break free from the chains of conformity.
In the realm of creative freedom, our emotions become the vibrant palette from which we paint our stories. It is a sentimental journey, where every stroke of the brush carries the weight of our dreams, fears, and desires. Like a skilled artist, we blend hues of joy and sorrow, longing and fulfillment, creating a tapestry of emotions that resonates with the depths of our being. With each stroke, we unlock the floodgates of our heart, pouring our soul onto the canvas of existence. Creative freedom allows us to encapsulate the essence of our sentiments, immortalizing them in a timeless work of art.
Creative freedom is an intimate dance with the intangible, an exploration of the raw essence of our emotions. It is a sentimental sanctuary where we can wander freely amidst the landscapes of our inner world, unafraid of judgment or restraint. It is in this sacred space that we can unravel the threads of our deepest desires and weave them into the fabric of reality. Like a poet crafting verses of passion, we mold our emotions into tangible forms, giving voice to the unspoken melodies that resonate within our souls. Creative freedom awakens our sentimental nature, allowing us to navigate the intricate maze of our emotions and discover the profound beauty that lies within.🙇♂️🌄
Holy moly, you just know how to inspire people... And all of that in a truely authentic way!
Creative freedom is like a throwback to the good old childhood days. Just going out with your friends, experimenting, doing dumb stuff without knowing the outcome. Just enjoying the raw moments and endless possibilites in life without having the pressure to perform or to disappoint someone else. No matter how small and simple things might seem, in the end these raw moments reveal themselves as truely priceless. Same goes for creative freedom. As you said "one story can change everything". And having the freedom to search for this story... priceless.
WOW! I've used that exact shot in SO many videos and I had no idea what the backstory was. Basically in tears right now. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing this amazing story with us!
Sam, this is probably my lowest point in my career so far - I'm 3 years in and finally getting an idea of what I want to do and the stories I want to tell. But finances are going to crap, my car just blew up, and all the work I've been putting into my business the last year hasn't been fruitful (yet). I've just been feeling really down lately and the message in this video really helped me remember that I never know when something good will happen, and I need to keep pushing to create the best I can for whatever project I'm a part of. Creative freedom to me means helping others tell stories, and making amazing relationships and connecting on deep levels with other people, all while being financially supported to do so.
bro yes thats a down fall but from here its only up , im a creator from ukrain we lost all our gear and home a year ago we had to flew the country and start fresh from scrash , no help just camera thats in the phone , just as easy as car blows up our life as well , hope u doing better by reading this , we all are in crap place untill we realize that where we are is where we need to be to change for good for our lifes and life around u
I love this. You two have inspired me to keep going. So let's keep it fucking moving and make everyone and everything better. No matter the circumstance.
In a couple of sentences: Creative freedom is a vital aspect of human expression and co-existence. Creative freedom not only empowers self-expression and self-discovery but it fuels innovation, reveals new perspectives, and connects you to the world around you.
but also lol...
Me, all of a sudden having so many thoughts about creative freedom:
Creative freedom necessitates the absence of external and internal constraints; whether imposed by governments, institutions, societal norms, commercial interests, or our own self-doubt and limiting beliefs. It allows individuals to push boundaries, challenge conventions, and pursue unconventional or controversial ideas. However, creative freedom is not absolute and can sometimes collide with ethical considerations or legal boundaries. Balancing the preservation of creative freedom with the protection of individual and collective well-being is critical.
Overall, though, creative freedom provides the space for experimentation, risk-taking, and the exploration of new artistic territories. Creators thrive when they have the freedom to follow their instincts, explore their unique visions, and convey their messages authentically. Creative freedom empowers individuals to express their unique identities and experiences, leading to greater self-discovery and emotional well-being. I believe the quality of life correlates with (among other things) the amount of freedom one has when it comes to their creativity.
By providing an outlet for imagination and innovation, creative freedom fuels not only artistic endeavors but technological, medical, and structural advancements, in turn, stimulating economic growth and cultural vibrancy! Preserving and promoting creative freedom is crucial for nurturing an effervescent, inclusive, and dynamic creative landscape that reflects the diversity of human experiences and aspirations.
P.S. Thank you for sharing your light with us and for the opportunity to receive an Artlist subscription! I hope all is well with you, take care!
In a world of reels and tic toks society has fallen off and lost its creative freedom. Creative Freedom means to fully let go of everything around you and it's the idea of just creating pure original art from heart.
Creative freedom is a gift to create what you want with your unique ideas, skills, and talents!
to me it means the ability to create things that you not only feel proud of, but also allows you to share an experience. For instance, anyone can create a video about a trip but to create a video that you passionately enjoyed making, where people who see it can feel the emotions, and even feel like they were there themselves. That's creative freedom.
Creative freedom to me is being able to create the work I want when I want and not have factors such as deadlines, requirements and financials clouding the pure enjoyment that the act of creating gives me. It’s so easy to lose your passion when creating becomes your job and it’s important to remind yourself why you’ve ended up doing it in the first place
Creative Freedom for me as a filmmaker, I am free from restrictions, regulations, and other influences, which is an exhilarating state of unrestricted imagination. It gives me the ability to bring my thoughts to life, unapologetically venturing into unknown territory, pushing the bounds of what is possible, and expressing profound ideas that have a tremendous impact on both my audience and myself.
To me, creative freedom means I get to create the content (music, video, short film, etc) the way I want to. For me as an aspiring cinematographer, it means I am trusted to design and carry out the lighting, shot angles, framing/composition, camera movement, etc, in a way that makes me happy (even though satisfaction with my work is short lived as my “taste” develops to higher and higher levels).
Creative freedom is the ultimate liberation, allowing me to immerse myself in my passion without any constraints. It's the power to break free from the monotony of work and school and indulge in the pure joy of doing something beautiful, something that truly reflects who I am, doing what I love, creating.
Love how you connect your story with another creator that Artlist supported as well! Creative freedom means I can wake up still have peace in mind that I can create anything I may want. It's just how much work and time I want to put it for each piece of content. Creative freedom also means to me to support my family and parents, knowing that they will be okay.
creative freedom is living wild & creating art from a list you've had for many years but never been able to, it's a freedom fuelled with passion & a drive to tell a story
For me, creative freedom means being able to say what I think. No matter who I am and where I am. We're most creative, when we've got something to say, not when we've got to say something. Thanks a lot for the possibility to participate, I wish you all best of luck!
Creative freedom is creating what feels right. It's capturing certain moments by mistake and being able to tell beautiful stories with the worst of footage.
Hi! Panama based filmmaker here! I just got inspired by your video to keep going in this business. For me creative freedom is that, the ability to choose your path even if its hard sometimes just keep going and doing what you love. Ive been in the business for almost 10 years now and would not have chose another path. Creativity is what has kept me going. Thank you for this Sam.
Creative freedom is the free pursuit of making your ideas tangible with just enough constraint.
It's the joy of working on something until it's ready and giving it wings.
Creative freedom for me is creating the things that made you pick up the camera in the first place and the things that keeps you moving forward, that makes you want to become better at your craft
Creative freedom for me means leaving my comfort zone to give feelings a space to be experienced by others in a visual, auditory and kinesthetic way, to give them a sense of community and understanding. This is exactly why I watch this video here. Why I watch any kind of video. We all have our story and I dream of telling mine now. As a creative person, with my camper jeep and a roof tent on the road as a perpetual student, getting to know this planet, cultures and other people. Like Luka & Nika and telling stories that give us all something.
Thank you and greetings from Germany ✌🏽
Creative freedom means pushing the boundaries of storytelling and seeing what I can get away with. “How edgy and different can this possibly be?” Creative freedom is putting myself on the line and giving it my all for a single message or emotion. It’s hitting the road with one small backpack and a camera, being inspired by a new journey and finding something in it that the world around me might be inspired by, too.
The opportunity to devote yourself fully to your creative, sometimes crazy ideas and not have to worry about your own future.
That is creative freedom for me.
Creative freedom is an opportunity to do what you really love out of passion.
Creative freedom is the way you convey what you truly feel. You incorporate reality with the fantasy and magic that we all carry inside. You bring creativity to every moment of your life, which defines you as a genuine person. That creative freedom makes you what you've always wanted to be.
Excellent video Sam Newton ! Love the way you transmite your creative freedom.
Sam- You're the first youtube video I've commented on. I firmly believe that we all have a story to tell and this video inspires me to put myself out there and follow my passion and dreams. You can't change the world if you don't try. Here's to the beginning of our new lives of creativity!
Creative freedom is the sanctuary where I can boldly shape worlds, weave stories, and ignite emotions, embracing the sheer joy of unfettered expression and the power to touch hearts, one frame of inspiration at a time.
Creative freedom thrives with just you and your camera and never the high end commercials. You capture raw moments and memories!
Within the realm of filmmaking, the pursuit of creative freedom stands as an unwavering beacon, guiding artists to unfettered expression and boundless possibilities.
A future love for any creativity expression isn't real, it only exists in your present activity, "the next shot, the next upload" can change everything. For a long time, I created from a place of fear and uncertainty, and after uploading videos regularly onto my channel for almost 2 years, I've finally reached a place of authentic expression. Free from the worries of what the future will hold. And a of that has been influenced by creators like you. When I saw your Peter Mckinon video take off, I was super stoked for you. (I also wanted to start wearing white turtle necks!!! LOL) It changed the way I viewed creativity, especially in the TH-cam world. And now this video has also opened up my mind to the possibility of creating for Artlist/Grid. I too have the exact same dream, my partner and I are moving to Portugal this September where I plan on making the step into full time content creating and hope to one day be able to support myself through the lens of creative freedom. Free from fear and uncertainty. And that is what creative freedom means to me. Trusting that anyone of my video can change everything. Love from a creative in CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA!!!
Creative freedom was almost perfectly summarised in this video. Having the opportunity to give our time to the things that feed our soul. not just for money.
If having true creative freedom was easy, then we would all have it. But staying strong and continuously working towards having our moment like Luka, Nika or you Sam. This is where true creative freedom lives. It only means everything when you've given everything back.
Creative freedom for me is the ability to tell my story of health and becoming a better parent. It’s something I can do through video with something as simple as my smart phone.
Being able to not worry to impress someone but going that extra mile so you feel that you did justice to your work is what makes me feel free. Creating beyond boundaries is what freedom is.
The WAY THIS IS PERFECTLY TIMED. I'm off to Portugal in a month and a half. How cool is it to hear this story and see more of the country!
Creative Freedom to me is the freedom to tell stories for the sake of telling stories--free from external pressures--the need to pay bills, the need to please others, gain recognition, or feel deep. Just getting to play and express whatever is going on in my head, whether that is something so ridiculous and silly, or something that moves me to the core.
The idea of creative freedom is a constant variable. A project that makes you feel fulfilled at one point in your journey might make you feel as if you’re dragging your feet through it the next time. I’m constantly following what fills me up in the moment as far as creating and not allowing external pressures to work on things that empty my cup. Creating based on what matters to me and my unique perspective of the world is what true creative freedom means to me.
Creative freedom is about seeing the opportunity, the adventure, the beauty in each day, celebrating this through art and connecting with others.
Creative freedom for me is all about self discovery. I often find myself on autopilot in the corporate world but I often remind myself that we have one chance at life and life is what happens out there. Creative freedom is self discovery.
Creative freedom is having complete faith in whatever you create, and making something that only you can, and loving it every step of the journey 🖤
letting go of your fears , whichever they might be , and daring to explore out of your comfort zone and into your own creativity , without any external factors that might cloud your mind or distract you.
Thats how i like to work , and that’s creative freedom to me
Creative freedom feels like being able to express myself in various art forms, unbounded by the limitations of my doubts and insecurities. It is being myself authentically and ultimately Living full to die empty. This is what creative freedom feels like to me.
Creative freedom is to take whatever means you have, camera, phone, etc and capturing the moments in life, doing the things that you enjoy the most. For me, camping, fishing, anything outdoors, and taking my dogs with me and just enjoying the moment.
Creative freedom, to me, means being able to create art that you are truly making for yourself. Not to get seen by a company, not to make money off it, but only creating it because the process of it genuinely makes you happy. Creating for ourselves without any expectations are some of the best ways to eventually get noticed and make it your career (if that's what you're going for) and this video reminds me that as long as you keep going and creating, you never know what kind of good it can bring you!
Creative freedom is born when there are no foreign agendas, deadlines, or specific budgets. You bring to life an idea that originated only from your being. You never feel limited by your resources, and your passion fuels the execution. Artlist is a great partner and facilitator to polish, and even elevate your story.
Freedom is paramount. It encompasses the power to shape and manifest my desires without concern for external influence.
Creative freedom pertains to me is to articulate my artistic vision and exercise imaginative choices without substantial restrictions .
Creative freedom to me means making the content that you as an individual want to make, without restrictions or editorial restraints. It means having an idea that you can visualise, and taking that idea from thought through to final concept, without instructions and dictations from others. However, that’s not to say you can’t accept input from others or collaborate on a project. Creative freedom also means having the ability to accept an assignment for a client but being able to produce the work in your own style and vision.
Another cracking film Sam, I always enjoy watching your work, your ability to story tell and take the viewers on an emotional rollercoaster is amazing. You’ve actually inspired me to start my own channel (well, two channels with different content) and I’m in the process of getting started. An Artist subscription would be amazing, wether that’s through a giveaway like this or actually subscribing!
Keep up the good work mate!
Creative freedom is the feeling of having reached a point in your life where your name and your work mean more than the urge to be exactly what people need you to be. Finally, your style is something that people look up to and only you can provide - being you. Freedom is waking up excited for the story that you're going to show, instead of feeling cringe and having doubts about everything you create. It's a feeling that I urge to have one day.
Hello, Sam I feel that creative freedom is the wind that drives our ideas, feelings, even problems, that makes us fly to different infinite possibilities.
Creative freedom to me is having that privilege to create without limitations and i love the fact that it empowers me to fully express myself, unleash my imagination and create meaningful and impactful work.
We are just starting out on our own #vanlife adventures and coincidentally we have an Adria van similar to Luka and Nika. Creative Freedom for us is the ever-changing scenery, encounters with different people, exposure to diverse cultures, inspiring other artists, writers, photographers, and other creative individuals. Having the freedom to travel and explore new places will provide us with a constant source of inspiration for our work moving forward. The music that Artlist provide would be the perfect tonic for that content. Thank you and good luck everyone.
To me, creative freedom means being able to work on projects that inspires me and being able to transcend in work that really reflect who I am. Being able to tell story that I want to tell but also telling stories that motivates me and resonates with me even if not my own. Creative freedom is being able to create using my vision of things rather than having to stay in a box.
Cheers Sam, always loved your vids, always will. This was inspiring!
Creative freedom means a life of purpose and freedom. It means I can pursue my passion and share stories without the chains of a 9-5. Lastly it means I can spend more time with the people I love.
love your stuff on another note, keep it up.
Creative Freedom to me isn't about views, likes, or popularity, but capturing those moments that are life changing. To be able to capture true emotion of some ones life is something I will cherish forever and hope to continue doing so in the future.
Thanks for the video! This is what was needed now! The video came out at the moment when I've been sitting on another project for a whole week. And it's time to slow down a little and look around.😉
Creative freedom in filmmaking is when directors and DPs can make movies exactly how they want without anyone telling them what to do. They can choose how to tell the story, what it looks like, and what it's all about. It's like having the power to use their imaginations and be creative without any rules holding them back. This means they can make movies that are different and unique, and they can try new things that nobody has seen before. So, creative freedom is like a big open door for filmmakers to let their awesome ideas fly and make really cool movies. Thanks for the vid!
Hey Sam! I found your channel not too long ago and I really wished I found you sooner. I'm almost out of college but you've changed my perspective on content creation. So creative freedom to me is to bring a new perspective to your audience. It means to break the rules of filmmaking to tell the story a new way.
Creative freedom to me Sam & folks in artlist :) is the ability to realise the art while embracing the risks, without caring about the money, but instead care about the passion and soul you put into the work that the audience can immerse and be motivated but also connect with you. To care about the message and impact you want to share without someone telling you what to do as your art expresses your soul and vision, not someone else’s. *mic drop*
Creative freedom to me is one of the most powerful instruments to have. There are no boundaries or limits. With creativity and fantasy everything is possible. Just as through a child's eyes. Once you realize creative freedom is not just living in your art but in your life and heart, you will find true happiness.
My creative freedom to me means to be a better filmmaker and inspire others to do the same thing and do something in their lives
And the important one is to make memories with people that have the same passion, surround yourself with people that push you forward, Look for people who share similar goals, passions, or interests. Connect with individuals who are driven, ambitious, and motivated to excel in their respective fields
Creative freedom is storytelling, plain and simple. No limits, no one telling you what you can and can’t say, just telling the stories that you want to, or for some have to, tell.
Creative freedom to me is to express, explore and experiment without compromise. That divine moment when you are in the zone that time stands still & everyday realities fall away for a while.
Creative freedom to me means being able to share the light I see in the world with anyone who may need a light in their life.
Sam your videos always come on at the right time. I just left my full time job to get a jumpstart in my creative career. Having access to assets like Artlist would make a huge impact for my videos. Congrats on where you’ve come!
Having creative freedom is like waking up everyday with no plans and still having the best day ever.
Sometimes you’ll hear a song and an idea will just come to mind. You write down a concept or shot list and get your mates involved in the shoot to and once everything has been shot you can do whatever you want with it. Yet you know EXACTLY what to do with it.
You can piece it together bit by bit and in the end you get this incredible feeling of fulfilment that you just made the best video ever! Why?
Cause you get to do it YOUR way. That’s what creative freedom is all about.
my man! thank you for this - youve been randomly selected as one of the Artlist Max Winners!
Send me a message on IG and Ill get you sorted
Five years ago, during an outing, I tried to make a travel video. It was the video that made me realize I could tell a story with my phone. I bought some equipment, watched a lot of video tutorials on filming and editing. And that journey has led me to a new career. I was very happy doing filming and editing. But sometimes, the pressure from this job, the unreasonable requests of customers make me hate the job that I used to love. I realize it's been a long time since I've used the camera for personal projects, for travel, or for capturing family moments. Instead, I only use the camera for filming when working with my clients. I realized that I needed to find my creative freedom again. That's why I started this job and kept doing it. Thank you Sam, your stories are always interesting and inspiring. They help me a lot when I feel lost and disoriented at work. 😍
Creative freedom to me means this... more time to tell stories that will inspire others to do the same. Whenever I feel stressed or that there's not enough time in the day with my normal 9-5, and I'm tired, watching one of your videos always helps motivate me to just keep going. Id love to be able to do that for someone else, just as you've done for me.
Creative Freedom. For years, I've been thinking, experimenting, contemplating, procrastinating, and just downright being unsure of what exactly I wanted to create. I knew I had a passion for videography and photography. I knew I wanted to put my efforts into a youtube channel and bring to life the ideas in my mind. So I actually started my channel and have experimented with some different shortform videos for the past couple of months, but still was unsure of how I wanted to proceed. Until recently.... then, some simple ideas came to light for me and a weight was lifted from my shoulders....direction was now present. Creative freedom to me is the feeling of now knowing a direction I'm taking in my journey. So...thats what I'm now doing, putting my efforts into the work involved to create some of my videos to post in the future in the hopes that one day, I will be able to invoke an emotion in a viewer and help them feel, reflect, relate, reminisce, or just smile. Thought I'd take a moment to share that here because Sam's channel has been an inspiration to myself and many others on a similar path.
The ability to fearlessly share the visions, ideas, and stories deep within you, using your unique creative skills to uplift others. It is creating without fear of judgment, knowing your work has the power to positively impact lives. Even if it goes unnoticed, you can be proud of creating something meaningful. That's what creative freedom means to me. It is something I am actively trying to step into more and more during this season of life.
Loved this video man! Your storytelling consistently blows me away.
Creative Freedom means "documenting life while there is storm everywhere" ... and this is a metaphor.
THANKS FOR YOUR INSPIRATION!
Creative freedom is the cornerstone of my artistic journey, transcending boundaries and igniting a profound sense of authenticity in my creations. It empowers me to tell stories that surpass my own existence, infusing my art with a pure love untainted by predefined expectations. By breathing life into my ideas and fearlessly exploring uncharted realms, I unlock new opportunities that extend beyond the predictable, ultimately enhancing my quality of life.
To me, creative freedom means embracing the joys and sorrows of being a creative, as well as loving who and where you are in this journey of living a creative life.
Creative freedom for me is capturing every moment no matter how small but there's a meaning and emotion that hides in you and reminds you when you scroll through your feeds, You ask yourself a question "Why did I capture that moment?" and there's no answer to it, It's JUST
Creative freedom means having the ability to execute an idea that is in your own head and no one else's, and bringing that idea to life not having to answer to anyone but yourself. That is MY dream!
Creative freedom to me is just being able to create what I want and not worry about what others think about it... to be happy with my work because I know what I've put in to it and how much of myself I've poured into the project. Love your videos Sam! Keep inspiring 👊
Freedom means everything. The ability to create what I want and how I want without worrying about the input from others is everything. If someone hires you based on your work but then tell you to adopt a different a style it’s literally the worst scenario in my mind and dramatically hinders my ability to let lose creatively.
Creative freedom to me, coming from a job that literally brought me into mental health problems a few years ago, means to be able to work and still be there to watch my son grow up. Not about becoming rich and famous, not about becoming the best filmmaker in the world but about being able to provide for my family while working in my own pace.
To have creative freedom to me means that i can fully be engaged with the beauty as well as the art of filmmaking. Something that can only be established through the creative freedom of each individual behind the lens. To chase your own creative dream and vision without getting scared of failing due to social pressure. No trends and reels, no pressure and deadlines. Creative freedom is what inspires us to create our stories and our legacies.
Creative freedom to me means being able to shoot the photos, videos or create whatever I want. I’ve never felt so motivated to create then after spending the last 4 days shooting BROLL for my companies conference and seeing the work that I did come together to make an incredible idea come to life. I was given the freedom to shoot what I wanted and how I wanted to do it and it turned out incredibly!
For me, creative freedom has always meant capturing LIFE. When you work with clients you always have a brief and you work on creating a specific video. But a video like this one just captures life. Those everyday moments that you hold are special that others don't understand. So I guess for me creative freedom means being able to capture the world in the ways that I find intriguing and unique.
Creative freedom is waking up every morning with the ability to tell your message and share your story with the world. It's not being constrained by corporations just looking to pad their bottom line. It's having a safe space to experiment with your art, fail, iterate, and improve it to grow as a creative. Above all else, creative freedom means being alive and sharing the most authentic and genuine stories you possibly can.
Hey Sam & Artlist,
Creative freedom to me, as a 14-year-old cinematographer and video editor, is like a symphony of infinite possibilities.
Your Videos are really make me Feel like doing it keeping all the other things aside and that makes me happy.
Couldn't buy the Artlist account Because i don't want my parents to be giving me money and want to do everything that I can do on my own.
Hoping to win this Giveaway!😇
Creative freedom to me arrives when you can put every inch of your soul on the piece of art you’re trying to deliver to the world. Without limitations, not the budget, not the guidelines…just your inner voice taking full part and re arranging all the elements into one message
Creative freedom is when you are fully in love with your craft, and so much so that you push through any blocks that come your way. It is creating purely from the inspiration in heart and expressing your unique self through your work.
Creative freedom to me is like a daydream. Not hindered by restrictions, limitations, or judgement, but to live and experience the fulfillment that comes from fully letting your mind and soul wander into an existence of your creation.
Creative freedom for me means going to my garden every day and beeing able to edit a video on my laptop outside without having to answer any phonecalls or messages, creating just listening to the birds, knowing that im able to live my life just working from home and that im able to provide to my wife and my 3 year old son without even leaving the house gives me an huge amount of creative freedom.
Creative freedom for me is having the ability to express my ideas and artistic vision without external constrains or limitation. The freedom to explore my creativity without being restricted by rules.
Creative freedom is having the power and tools to make the master pieces envisioned in our minds and bring them to life. Having the resources to share our art with the world.
Much love, from Portugal ;)
Creative freedom is the ability to use my work for the good of other people…helping others instead of myself.
Creative freedom to me means to me, taking a ideal that I’ve had in my mind for the past two years to honor a fallen friend. It’s not about if the rest of the world likes it. It’s about me putting my all into honoring my best friend and putting all my love and feeling losing him into a project to hour our friendship and his life. That’ s what creative freedom is to me.
Creative Freedom for me is when I create solely based on the feeling I have inside. Not weighing in other peoples opinions. Not planing everything in detail. The freedom is for me being there in the moment. Going with the flow of what is. 💫
Such an amazing photo, I had never seen that one before.
Creative freedom - whatever the medium, being able to show the world something you had a part in making. Whether it is a photo, a drawing, a painting, metallurgy, leather or a video.
