Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv

As an artist, the solution to loneliness is output. If you are producing, you feel good. And when you produce something that is a breakthrough towards what you are trying to achieve - that gives the most satisfaction.

“Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.” - Nikola Tesla
-
Creative people are empathetic and are impacted by the mood ‘roll-off’ of others. Being alone allows the artist to channel from the ‘source.’
-
If you are an artist who feels alone, read all these comments. There's hundred of us right here. In the creative world that's just a drop in the bucket. Art is all around us, be a part of that, just do the work.
-
Don't tell your friends or family. They always got some shit to say that you didn't ask for.
-
I'm not lonely when I am creating art- I'm alone. I'm lonely when I'm not creating art!
-
The interviewer deserves a lot of credit. She never interrupted. Interviewing is mostly about listening but so often the interviewer's need for significance intervenes.
-
As an artist, I am most unhappy when I am not creating. When I am creating, I like to be alone with no one asking me what I am doing or giving their comments. It's a very spiritual experience and quite meditative. I can work during the day or night as long as I am left alone. I am never lonely.
-
The loneliness as an artist is at times both peaceful and devastating. Having that time to yourself to escape reality and just have a life of creating art of all kids is a dream career, yet it sucks because you usually have no one else there with you in that process of creating. Anyone who's not a creative individual wouldn't understand why art brings you joy, which is why you're always alone, but that comfort you need comes from the love of making things from a creative space.

“The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.” ― Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
-
I dont really like 90% of people, so being an artist suits me just fine. My wife is part of the 10%. So are my cats.
-
Isolation is part of The Process to evolve into that which you truly are 👑
-
In creating something vulnerable, it’s much easier to be authentic if there isn’t somebody looking over your shoulder.
-
Distractions of everyday, "normal" life have always been my greatest challenge to my creativity.
-
Thank you. It feels like being an artist, whether you're a writer, painter, singer, actor, feels like having a mental illness, because people don't really understand it, don't know how to support the people doing it and don't really believe in the chances of one making a life out of it.
-
Creativity isn't lonely, but it is private. It happens in the mind and heart and only comes out when it's given a protected space in which to live. You can't force it and if you do then all you get is a stunted version of what it really is. You can't deny it what it needs... the room to become what it is. That's what being creative is. Giving your mind and heart the space to become what it is.
-
An artist is a vessel... A vessel that carries imagination, self-awareness, memories, and complex emotions. The artist, whether by nature or nurture, has the ability to combine all of these things, thus transforming them into a unique product that can never be completely duplicated by someone else. The release of those things can be very cathartic, but once they have brought their vision to fruition, the vessel that they are is left as an empty one: An artist is fire, and their loneliness is smoke.
-
I’m an autistic artist/artistic autist. Being by myself and immersed in creativity is warm and satisfying. Being with a crowd of people is a very lonely experience however.
-
Art is one of the most spiritual actions you could do. It works better when you let it flow from you and not push it.
