Ryan, you have no idea how hard this hit home for me. Everytime I make videos I try to plan out everything, down to every shot, and I’ve realized that’s the worst way to do it. Freedom of creativity is what makes it so fun. When you have no freedom to create on the fly, it’s draining. I loved this video. Also really glad you’ve come this far man. Keep it up 🔥
But when you think of it, not many people could do what they truly wanted in life. So as an artist myself, whenever I experience something like this, I just think I'm blessed to be able to do what I do. Even sometimes when we feel obligated to do stuff, this is still far from a desk job that requires next-level compliance. This is great Ryan, very relatable.
Happened to pretty much everyone, same story same feelings. End of the day, once you make a job out of your hobby, then it's not a hobby anymore and you feel obligated to do it even at times you dont want to...ends up in total burn out. The you need a looong break from everything just to restore yourself and slowly start again 😀
I felt this is in a very real way, man! As a gigging musician, this happens, too! Finding creative ways to experiment in real time has been exciting, being conscious of where I am and what I’m doing helps me remember that kid that so many years ago watched hours of Hendrix and Mayer and picked up a guitar. Great work on this, Ryan!
Please stop "crying" Ryan. And I'm not saying this for bad.. You are a young talented man who do what you love. You are blessed for making your passion your job. Remember that not anyone can do that. Focus on it man. Make videos, create, enjoy life. Enjoy YOUR LIFE! Stop thinking of what's going wrong and focus to the things that make you happy and creative. That's what matters and that will make you smile. Feeling empty from times to times is natural. But you have to go on. All of us have to.
Love this!!! I am experiencing that rut of creativity. Glad, you overcame it love your content. I need to put guardrails in place to achieve my goals an prevent burnouts.
This is awesome. Was about to make a video so similar to this. I started as a video producer full time with an organization and realized I was all the sudden, a year into the job, limiting my creative pursuits to the 9-5 box. I used to go out all the time for fun and allow myself to be pushed to try new things. The way you put it resonated with me, love the challenge to go out and shoot with a simple rig for the fun of it.
this really resonated with me, thank you Ryan. as a creator in our current climate it is so hard to slow down and try something new. content nowadays is so fast paced and I feel trying something new and failing will slow me down, this video was the slap in the face I needed.
The vibes were immaculate in this, it’s crazy to see how far you’ve come, keep crushing it dude, hope to meet you irl one day 😪🙌🏾. Also is that lens a Sony lens or are you using an adapter with step up rings to to fit your filters, I defs wanna add that to my arsenal!
I really relate to this and so for many people. As also a RUclipsr and Freelance illustrator, getting the fire is being free and this is amazing thing to do and some way I chose to be this but when it feels like a job, that becomes a killer because of responsibility, reliability and even worrying. I try to improve on not thinking this as a job and I have just do it than at all like mindfulness on work or setting new boundaries and new things in between. Also, congratulations on your marriage, Ryan.
Ryan, thank you for inspiring me to keep it simple + get back to story and life rather than falling into the routine of hashtag optimization and IG banger reel trends 🙏🏾
I remember those moments in your career for sure, hoping you’d come back because as many others here know the talent was very obvious to us. Dude again you seem very happy now and that’s exciting to see. Hoping you two found a new spot to live that makes things that much better. Also awesome that your fiancé can come on some of these shoots, makes it easier to maintain a great relationship with a heavy travel schedule. As for the plug-in, wow that looks solid. I feel like I’ve been lazy shooting in Auto, I want to explore log but it’s intimidating. Great tips on the tripod and wow that’s affordable as well. Congrats on the continued success Ryan!
Ryan you are huge inspiration. Thanks for sharing stuff like this. Just being real about how every day things are and that sometimes you have to go back to the simple stuff
Broo this was refreshing and hits home. The hard part about having your passion be your source of lively hood can take the fun out of it and turns it into all business, but as you said looking back to the things that got you excited about making things brings the spark back. Taking time to recenter creatively is vital! 🫡 loved this one!
Preach it! Thanks for such a great video. You are years ahead of yourself! Passion is a funny thing. I lost the passion in my career and have changed it to come back around to creation. Now, working towards finding ways I can create while making a living. Great story! Mindfulness has become my new watchword on my path of creativity. It all can be learned.
@@dawoodilyas1998 A huge thing for me was and still is finding focus and balance. I find that when I am able to embrace intentional interaction with how I connect to the digital world, then I feel more in control of my life. That feeling of being in control is not the only product however. Deliberately trying to be present fully here and now rather than proselytizing about tomorrow or other future events helps me as well. Being present right in the moment and working to “dehaze” my thoughts helps me to find more productivity on whatever it is I am doing. I feel it may be different for everyone, but I have a very busy and active mind almost to a point of being overwhelmed often. I have never really been a huge meditator, but taking time to listen to white noise or a calm stream a few times per day while taking deep and intentional breathing is super helpful for me. Clearing the noise in the mind really helps in clarity. Another thing I find that helps in working to practice mindfulness is in how I perceive myself. Negative self-talk can be debilitating. Being present now helps me to be aware of my own thought process so I can recognize when I am starting to develop negative thoughts which I am very prone to. I believe that mindful living practices work differently for everyone, but in general, clearing the mind, and transitioning to a more positive mindset that is intentional about the activity of the moment is a huge step forward.
@@MindfulGrinds Thanks for the insightful response! I hope you find a way to make a great living which will help you have more fun creating your passion projects. Good luck as well for your mindfulness journey.
Loved the video Ryan! I've luckily been doing fairly well mentally with posting often and trying to bring better videos every time. I've been trying to keep myself aligned with my priorities when it comes to creating content that just makes me happy to create with. I like to believe and create with the interest of "Create like the algorithm doesn't matter." That's helped me just create things I truly want to rather than simply just creating for what is trending. Not near the size of your channel yet, but it's helped me!
I've been doing only freelance video since 2018. It wasn't a big passion or hobby before I started... I think it's almost better this way. For me it's always been more of a job, but it's a fun one.
after watching this video, I ordered a completely new 44-2 and a canon adapter with contacts for the focus confirmation function, totaling about $ 80, but I'm sure it's worth it
Great video with an inspirational punch 🤜 Another great thing you can do with that same set up is to hold two legs of the tripod, one under each armpit and the third leg over your belt (belly button area) and point the camera at yourself and go for a walk…. instant Snorricam rig “ala Requiem for a Dream” PS: That focal length won’t work though but a 35mm would do 😬 Thanks for the video sir 🥂
I hold my tripod by the neck where its balancing point is, so that the weight above and below my grip is equal. then it stays pretty steady when I move with it. (except not as much the up/down axis.)
I’ve been wanting the 44-2, but i want to get an original KMZ version with the 13 blades first, but the only place I can seem to find them is from Ukraine. After that, I’ll then pick up a Valdai version. Probably the next lenses on my list. Have to adapt it to the Canon EF mount.
Thanks for the tips with Cinema Grade Ryan! Another AI type tool thats great for photos is Luminar AI. Makes KILLER thumbnails and is literally the click of a button.

So glad Caleb. Truly feel like breaking This mindset can change everything and make creating a blast again
Sometimes you just gotta hear it from somebody else and accept that it's okay...you are not the only one. Thank you for sharing

Thanks Oscar. Take some time to stand back and asses for a moment. Reflect on your struggles and successes and develop a plan!
@@RyanKao will do thanks
Usually around this time of the year I feel demotivated to work and burnt out. This was helpful ❤

I am always inspired from you.
I Like cinematic stuff
Based on thumbnail and title, I honestly thought it was about your relationship. 😂

Hello
I’m literally in this space right now and trying to figure how to balance.
Broo this was refreshing and hits home. The hard part about having your passion be your source of lively hood can take the fun out of it and turns it into all business, but as you said looking back to the things that got you excited about making things brings the spark back.

Dope video and take on this aspect of burning out creativity as we progress. Felt like breath of fresh air hearing this, thanks!

Now, working towards finding ways I can create while making a living. Great story! Mindfulness has become my new watchword on my path of creativity. It all can be learned.
Has mindfulness helped you in creativity and regaining your passion? I've been looking to get into it as well!

Your content is really great
Instant inspo 👏🏼 thx Ryan
Any thing once it become job there is no passion at all. It’s just repeat and repeat .We need have this mindset then we find something fun in our job.
after watching this video, I ordered a completely new 44-2 and a canon adapter with contacts for the focus confirmation function, totaling about $ 80, but I'm sure it's worth it
love this
