Peter: "If you don't use it, you lose it."
My chefs used to tell me: "In our world, there is no stagnation. Only Progression or regression."
Dude you here too?
This is very true as a chef I agree with that
@@alexkota been watching Peter for a few years now :)
@@alexkota I know😞😑
@@CHEFPKR yea me too, but i see you everywhere i go
Excited to watch your documentary one day, Pete!
Same 😂😂
@@PeterMcKinnon AVA FOR LIFE!!!
That got me. ❤️
Hi Pete! Actually you taught me, most everything, from 0 subs to 300,000 subscriber right now. You motivated me so much. Thanks bruh. A very big thanks to you. Hi from Malaysia.
Wow! Congrats dude! 🎉👏🏼
Ayyy MLY Geng!
This is a huge part of being a working artist that I don't hear people talking about often. It's so easy to get so busy with work that you run out of time to actually go be an artist. As pandemic restrictions have been lifting, I've been so busy with traveling and doing gigs that I've barely had any time to work on my own stuff, so now I'm looking at ways to carve out some chunks of time in my schedule to make sure it's getting done. At the end of the day, these personal projects often end up being the most important even if they don't pay.
You are lucky to have a supportive wife.
We need to be surrounded by positive supportive people and not the opposite.
And I couldn't agree more with what you said 👏🏻
Well done and good luck 👍🏻
Ah yes Pete, it does help! Not all of us have the opportunity to shoot photos & videos for a living but it’s more of a case of: go to work, make the boss happy, complete your task.. and long the lines the need of spending some time with the creative side of yourself suddenly doesn’t seem that important. However, all this time the creative side has been the main fuel motivating and encouraging us to try new things in life.
Hangout with your creative self, fuel it up with ideas!
Absolutely man! Whenever I notice that I'm always working on client projects alone, even though I absolutely enjoy what I do for work, I try to take a step back and dig my hands deep into something new, challenging and fresh.
Such an important message! We should all keep challenging ourselves every day to refine our craft & become better than we were yesterday. Continue doing what you love to become better couldn’t be more important or relevant for all of us creatives! 👍
This is super timely, just released my "one for me" yesterday. It's been a while since I did one but I really wanted to stretch myself and learn something! Great video dude!
I read yesterday a book about how to be creative and stay creative.. This was written there: "Creativity is like a muscle you have to train it" ☺️
Pete your work has really inspired me and so many creatives over the years, just wanna say 'Thank You'!
Love this advice, and needed to hear it. Also, STOKED for the AVA documentary! 🙌🏽 Thanks Pete!
Omg you're here too lol
YES! and as if I couldn't love Peter's content anymore he hits us with an angels and airwaves documentary 👀🙌🏼
Everytime I’m down, stressing out and want to give up. You somehow drop one of these motivational videos right on time 🙏🏾
Hey Peter,
my name is Ben and im a schoolboy from Germany. I just wanted to take a second to say thank you! I discovered photography with your channel and now it is my hobby. On my journey of photography your videos have alway been there and i used them as an inspiration. Right now I’m doing small jobs for neighbors or my family to earn some money to buy myself a Canon 5d mark 2.
Btw: i have a Nikon entry level camera right now.
Have a nice day everyone :)
Thank you, Peter. This is a much-needed message to all creatives especially chasing money comes into the picture.
Great message man! Couldnt agree more, we must always persist no matter what. The equation for growth!
Pete..... You have no idea how much I needed this. This year I had one of my busiest years yet for my freelance work, constantly filming and editing for other people and lately I have felt creatively empty. I totally felt that I haven't done a project for me in a long time. Ive been meaning to make a short-film, I think now is the time to do it! THANK YOU! 😀
I love how every few PM videos I see the picture I took of Armando and Gene! Glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing Peter! It is so true, it took me 3 yrs to get the colour grading for my videos that I am now super happy with & now im up to my next challenge. Good things sure dont come easy 💪
Totally can relate. 2 years down. Still kinda tweaking the color grading part
This is the one guy whose comment section is always full of other talented TH-camrs
Special salute to the editor, you cut the story so smoothly 👏✨
So true. Sometimes you have to relinquish the desire to do what you know works, in order to experiment and grow. And to do something like a passion project is the perfect way to make that experimentation meaningful.
YC & I have been chatting about this topic for the past few weeks... truth bro! 🖤
Love this point. “Hone your craft”
Thank you for this! Just recently been full time creative for 1.5 years and turned my passion into what I do but I’ve been feeling lost because I haven’t had time for any self projects, between client work, family and everyday life it’s hard to balance or to cut out time. But your suggestion of building something overtime is exactly what I needed to hear!
Thank you!
What sets Peter apart from all the others are his deep philosophical insights, and the ability to share them so intimately. His creativity is beyond question, obviously.
Dear person that's reading this, we don't know each others but I wish you all the best in life ❤️ don't ever blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Your smile is precious and a key for happy life 🙏
I wish you well myself, may not know you but I still wish you well in your endeavors!
Well spoken
(Written)
Thanks. Right back at ya, hope all is and will be well.
@@HanjiTanaka Amen to that 🙏🏻
I'm crying cause I read this comment at the precise moment I needed to hear these words
Great message, Pete!
This resonated with me for sure. My rule for myself is to always have one passion project in some stage of production at all times - doesn't matter what stage - pre-production (even just brainstorming) all the way through to editing/completion. Just always have something going. Those projects have been the most rewarding and ironically, open up the most doors. Good work, Pete!
I don't know how you do it, but you've been speaking to my soul for four years now. The timeliness of your messages is uncanny, and time after time you throw out a video that is exactly what I needed to hear at exactly the right time. Keep it up, man.
oh man totally agree, that´s why i started a daily vlog.. needed to leave the comfort zone and just keep going 🔥🔥
nice ! the comfort zone is our biggest enemy to get ahead in life !
in martial arts thre is a saying , your ability is like a boiling kettle .. you need to keep it boiling .. if you stop working/training for the shortest time, the water cools
The timing of this video for me was almost perfect! Been in a funk since March 2020, and I was just thinking the exact same thing. Timing is everything. Thank you.
This is absolutely true. Selecting a project that you love to do and spending time on it is absolutely motivating. Even a little progress on this project makes you more satisfied than many other things we go after!!!
Made a video called “TH-cam for YOU vs TH-cam for THEM. This really hit home Pete🤙Don’t care if anyone watches the video, this isn’t about that. I think when you’ve been doing TH-cam for, we’ll, a long time and have had success with it, it does become very easy to just fall into a groove. Fantastic reminder. Fantastic video as always. Keep creating and keep progressing. Stoked for the AVA doc dude!
Pete never misses.
It's nice to see compliancy is a thing at any level. I struggle with getting lazy and stuck in the same groove all the time. Much love Pete you're the best.
This is exactly what I need right now. Last few months my photography has been pretty much none existent. Work seems to swallow every spare minute. But this is what I need to do. Make my own project taking time for myself. Thanks Pete. I'll be improving my video quality. Thats my goal.
"In our world, there is no stagnation. Only Progression or regression."
Best way to overcome creative block? Create.
You're a gem of a human being and you inspire me every day. I'm so happy I found your videos on Twitter. And you have inspired me so much in my own photography career. Thank you for being you and I love watching your journey and I feel the exact same way you feel about photography, its nice knowing im not the only one. ❤
Just what I needed to keep the passion burning, no clients nor puppeteers holding me back and just keep on keeping on.
Thanks Pete!
Well said, Thanks Pete, great advice!
i’m not sure i agree with all of these points (lots of these seem like a road to fast burn out). But you’ve heard of Peter and you’ve never heard of me, so i’m almost certainly wrong
Amazing advice that I needed to hear. It's easy to burn out when you're constantly making content for clients and TH-cam and nothing for yourself.
As an Agile Coach (day job) and a creative, this spoke to me. No matter what your job is, if you aren't setting aside time to hone your craft, then its tough to grow. Thanks for that reminder, Pete and safe travels here to the States!
Legend 👑 we appreciate everything You do Peter
FAILIURE! Where your receipt? I return you. STEVEN! COOK MINUTE RICE IN 58 SECONDS!!! Super Fan over here Steven
Hello again Steven! 👋😅
100% Committed = Peter 😊🔥♥️
🇵🇭
Amen. This is why I love being theater director because every show has different demands and requires me to think differently to solve all the problems presented. But I worry about becoming creatively stagnant all the time.
Marriage of words, music, and images is timeless trinity of 🎨
I love how pete never sees my comments but i never stop trying to get his attention. 🤣🤣🤣 Love you Pete
why would someone dislike this lol
someone whose not creative ! XD
Haters who are just jealous... 🤦🏻♀️
60 people who have no life
I think all those people are just the people that have huge fingers and miss clicked, trying to click like
Someone has to.
Such a good mindset to have. I totally agree. Time flies sometimes and you realise you've been going through a routine for weeks and haven't worked on developing any new skills.
TH-cam is currently my passion project.
My photography Is my creative outlet to switch off from the world 💪🏼🌎
in the words of Casey Neistat: "if you're not constantly evolving your craft, then what's the point of doing it anyways?"
Hey, let's be creative let's not forget why we started.
Only two TH-camrs I learned from when it comes to make videos. Casey & Peter. I am no where close to their master pieces when it comes to work they put in. One of the important lessons that I have learned from both is this. Do one for you. Once we don’t balance that “gym time” and building a craft for others, we get burned out.
There is really no one way to make that balance in our lives but for sure that we will need to recharge by filling our tanks as well.
Thank you for sharing this and can’t wait to see the documentary.
For token of appreciation, lmk if you need a ride, tour, PA for filming while you’re staying in LA. I will provide for you without anything in return. Thank you ❤️🙏🏻
Congrats Pete! Awesome message, I completely agree - I'm a composer, and I've spent the last couple of months working on a passion project of my own outside of university and commissions. It's not gonna pay the bills, and it's admittedly caused me to fall behind on a tonne of uni work, but I have absolutely no regrets :)
I think working on something for yourself is such a fantastic way to grow as a creative, I know it definitely helps me remember why I love music so much.
Hey Pete how’s it going, can we have more photography tutorials please.
I feel sorry for Pete. He’s the only one in the world who can’t watch these videos as a viewer
So true
I just took a train for the Himalayas
Gonna roam around for inspiration before AMS sets in
This is why I create content. I’ve been slowly getting better at creating films that capture my own intuition. As I keep filming on a weekly basis I’m learning more and more to just create. It’s been an incredible release from the stresses of filming for others
Another message is stop calling yourself “a creative”. You’re an artist or you do creative things. “A creative” is the least creative term regarding creativity.
You have no idea how much this message means especially right now. Thank you Pete!
This is such a great message. What’s Interesting yo me is how creativity finds different outlets. I’m an award winning and bestselling novelist who went through a life upheaval and haven’t written a novel in years and just started a TH-cam channel finding it a fun alternative creative outlet. I’ve got sooooo much to learn but I love the challenge. I need to get back to chipping away at my novel in progress. Thanks for all your sharing!
I'm not yet doing this thing at a professional level, so I'm still taking photos for myself but this is a great advice to keep in mind once I get there.
Love this video. Most of the time, I would create something just because I'm passionate about it. There's always the urge to post it or share it with others. I have yet to create something without sharing it with the world. I think it boils down to focusing one creating something, being proud of the completion and then keeping it to yourself. put it all in a time capsule later.
Couldn't agree more. Currently working on a documentary about my friend who hiked the Appalachian Trail. Completely outside of my normal work. Just for fun. And I've learned SO much thus far and it's the most fun creating that I've had in a while. Do one for you!
You are a legend in your own creative, inspiring and authentic way! Thank you Peter!
Wow!!!! Needed to hear this so much!! My projects are my hobby, my work is my 9-5. Pumped to see your projects as much as create my own!!
Thank you so much for this inspiring topic, Pete! I gave up all my passions for a job because I was on the extreme end over there in creative overload land, but it's time to come back and I needed to hear this!
Great video - love your work! Mastering your craft has been somewhat on my mind lately, so your message really resonated. Life is short. Never get lazy, keep bettering yourself everyday.
Perfect Timing Peter. Heading to Nova Scotia next month on the next leg of my across Canada journey. 1 photographer. 1 Gown. And 4 models in each province and territory in our AMAZING nation. Just for me.
Oh man. Perfect timing for this message. Haven’t really done anything I was 100% passionate about in over a year, and have been looking for that spark (and the time) to get it going again. Thanks for this video.
P.S. if you’re still in CA and still have the time (I’m sure you don’t 😂) I have 4 bikes in the garage and some trails to whip around close by!
Man, this one got me. I have been pushing hard after my family is in bed each night trying to chip away at my thing - it can be incredibly demotivating between my own procrastination or trying to match the quality of other people. This was a great reminder to just keep doing whatever that thing is for the sake of doing it! Many thanks.
Honeslty this really motivated me! Thank you Pete! For always giving out these gems!
You said it; we gotta keep the passion that initially turned us into creative professionals, alive!
Thanks Pete for this reminder... I so need a new project for myself ! Something to remind me how much I love creating.
Started with passion projects, moved to the day to day stuff and lost it. Thanks for the reminder to do more stuff we want to do!
I am not a photographer or filmmaker but this hits home for me as a dog trainer. I am always working with dog owners, teaching and training dogs and dog owners, making TH-cam videos, and never focusing on my own dogs as much as I should. I have a dog that needs my help because I adopted her and she has some issues and never thought to work on her as my own project to help her and better myself. Thank you for reminding me and helping me get better with my dog training and my video making.
Thanks Peter, this has really helped! I am at the start of a 3-4 year project and I am going to have this video as a moral boost when the going get tough, and I know things will get tough along the track, but I am going to do this!
You always get me to feel better after a rough day with your happy kind. You inspire me to do so much more and challenge myself. I wish I could create such awesome story telling videos and awesome photos like you and I aspire to get there some day.
Keep up the great work and greetings from Germany ❤
Such a fantastic view on things! Thank you so much for your videos!
Thanks for content Peter, Good to see you grow so much over the years!
Thank you Peter for all your wisdom! Much love! Thank you for everything you've taught me to be the photographer I am.🙏🏻
I really appreciated this video, it really has me inspired. Though my "9-5 job" (which can often be more like 9A-10P) is technically a creative job, and I love it - I also have to deal with being part of a company, with many stakeholders, dealing with all the BS that just comes standard with having a job. And as a creative, it can sometimes feel stifling - which is why I started my youtube channel last year. It's something that is 100% completely my own, to flex my creative chops, learn new things, and just "create" without any barriers. It's been a minute since I've really done anything with it, but hoping to dive back in the second half of this year to continue growing.
Thanks Pete!
Thank you Peter, this is excellent advice for any craft or profession!
This is definitely what I needed, its so simple but I for one forget about this. Thank you Pete, good luck with your passion project, you're going to kill it.
Happy 4 u that u can just take a breath, clear everything and do it the PM way;-) Just love your energy and wisdom in what u do.
Always good to see people excited about the next one... Means you're still enjoying what you do! It shows in your work and your positive energy! Awesomeness!
Great message, great vid. Thanks, Pete. Excited to finally see the A&A doc come together!
Don't let busy stop you from doing! Thanks for the gift of inspiration Pete!
Needed this one man, appreciate it! So easy to lose that yearning to create when it is just for work. Gotta do some stuff for ourselves to get that drive back!
Great timing as I start an audio project with my mom and dad! Thanks Peter.
Truly great advice.
Too long endlessly churning and burning for others, I forgot myself as well.
Just saw this today and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Now doing a passion project documentary myself.
Toning up the shooting and editing skills, and continuing to learn new stuff, always.
That's where it's at.
And I get inspired by you and your channel.
Thanks for sharing your tid bits over the years.
Long time lisnah, first time cwalluh.
Keep crushing.
I appreciate this video so much Peter. Love what you do man. I appreciate that you are always pushing the envelope. Makes me keep pushing to be a better content creator too. You've taught me a ton. Enjoy your passion project this week!
Great advice as usual Pete! I try to remind myself of this constantly! It's easy to get caught up in the day to day!
THANK YOU FOR THIS PETE! I'm kinda demotivated to edit any of the photos I took right now but I'm trying and well your video just makes my day! Thank You! You're my inspiration.❤️
