I often need inspiration to even *look* at YouTube, let alone upload to it. But, like you, when an idea hits, I scribble down some thoughts, and thrust my hangdog expression at everyone again!
I'm sure that when you get properly settled in your new home, you'll have lots of new places to show us with your unerring Curt-view! Good luck, Mr P! :-)
Glad you aren't going away forever. See you when you get back. You have a real talent for combining the funny and the sweet and the sad all in one video. Take care.
Haven't been on YT in ages, it's good to see that you are the same old you. I'm pretty confident you'll be filming again (taping? recording!) in no time. hugz...DahliaK
it must be 80° here in this room. When i saw that first transition to the ocean, i could almost smell nice clean ocean air... ahhh its almost like a peppermint patty!! Just looking around, is what i do best too!
I have been thinking again, I have a idea for a stop action after buing all the new star trek minitures at a discount store. exept ahora, I still have to write the scriipt but somewhere in it kirk will say "where the fuck is ahora" and spock will say "I will see if I can find her" and kirk will reply "thats a negative the last time you went looking for her we lost you for days...." its just an idea of coarse.
Thank you, Curt. Your words can be used in so many different situations. Like just turning off the computer and going outside again. I call it a brain break. It feels great, and it's so refreshing. Enjoy your time. It's all yours. :-) Again, thank you.
Well done. Actually timely for me also, I'm having a hiatus from both creating video and writing, been thinking the same thing...the inspiration will come back in it's own time. Everyone who creates has to recharge the creative battery with new energy at times I think.
A skillful 'video-ographer' at work again. A perfect match of music to visual. Thoughtful narration. Clever comedy start/finish. Heck, what's not to like?
Curt it was like you were speaking for me....sometimes I just don't want to make a video or I just don't know what to do. I mean it's just so many "showing my hair' vids I can make before I get frigg'n sick of it myself! LOL!! I really loved this video...gonna share it, if you don't mind! ♥
Was wondering where you have been since the road trip - I thought maybe the guys were having a little joke leaving you somewhere without a road map to see if you could get home!
What a great non vlog. A beautiful way to answer our age old YouTube question, "why ain't anyone makin' vids?" lol. Hey, we are all entitle to a little breathing time... Just don't abuse the priviledge, mkay?
Aww. Sweetie, obviously inspiration can arrive at the most unexpected moments. Great talent like yours doesn't require rediculous blogs (vlogs) of what you purchased at the QuickStop, or what you planned on having for dinner...
It's simple moments like these that prove you can't contain your success as an artist even if you tried.
Always a pleasure to see you in my subscription videos. Maybe renetto will see this, one can only hope! I had to unsub from him for what seemed like 'forced' videos. Did anyone else notice that?
I understand. Along with this it's scheduling time to make a video. I guess it just seems like such a big project. One day I'll be back. Until then, it's nice to see friends like you making enjoyable videos no matter how simple they may seem. Thanks for giving me a decent video to watch for a change. There's just too much crap out there like sxephil, charlestrippy, shaycarl, etc. that I just don't feel like watching from my subs.
I'm going through the same thing lately. I've developed "vlogger's block', and coincidentally, I made a video about it yesterday. I'm sure I'll get my inspiration back one of these days.
So true--There are so many vloggers on YouTube who are not wise enough to realize this. Instead, they pelt the masses with mindless blather and soulless drivel in a never-ending barrage of mediocrity. (The sad part is, there appears to be a huge segment of the population who eat it up on a daily basis like stupid dogs that get the same bland kibble day in & day out, never seeming to notice.) The people truly worth watching & listening to are the ones concerned with quality over quantity. :)
Outstanding video Curt! It's true that sometimes you just have to put the camera down until the video inspiration hits you. Something tells met that this video will inspire a few others who have put the camera down for a while. -Jim
Well said, Curt! I think you speak for many of us these days! Good to see that reading the "Secrets of Knots Landing" appears to have given you inspiration! :-) Maybe now each time you see the book, you will be inspired.
Always a pleasure to see you have a video! Great shots as per the norm around the OhCurt channel...:-) xoxoxo
You have such a lovely environment to reflect on during your hiatus. I recently took one because I found myself forcing to make videos just to keep my channel going. It made it a chore, not a hobby. Can't wait to see you when you come back!
a video showing extreme creativity and inspiration telling us that you may be taking a break from making videos until you recapture some creativity and inspiration... anyone else see the irony here?! ;)
i started subscribing to this guy cos i was sure he was kurt fuller, but now that he looks less like him, i stay subscribed cos even tho he is not kurt fuller he has really good videos
Boy, that alter-Curt is pushy!...hehehe Geez...can't anyone get any reading done anymore?...hehehe One day you'll have to teach me how to do that cool dual-you thing! Yes, you never know when inspiration is going to hit!
Take your time Curt, as much as I want more videos from you.
I know what you mean by insperation, some of my videos take months to make so I really need to be inspired. People do there best work when they are inspired rather than just posting something for the sake of posting.
Very timely video & i suspect a lot of people are going through the same thing as you. Quality, not quantity is the key & this was quality. A beach vlog too & you know i'm a sucker for them.
I sure hope i don't have to wait too long until your next video. But, i totally understand why, if i do.
That was very nice. Good to see Cigi along with MacKenzie and Abner. I notice that the Other Curt was all in black, makes me think of Jacob and The Man in Black on "Lost."
Ahhh...beach footage :-) Sunny says Bless you for making her day a little better.
We understand how you feel and we're in the same boat for the most part. There are times we do have ideas and then don't follow through. We also used to make videos taking everyone along for the ride when we visited some place and we just haven't been anywhere different lately. We're just waiting for it (inspiration) to hit us .
@SunnyDazStormyNitz It gets tougher to follow through when the process itself becomes more time consuming thanks to "life stuff" taking center stage (not to mention what Google's done to the site lately... don't get me started).
I remember Gimmeabreakman saying a while ago that he lost his Youtube boner for a while. I agree that sometimes you do need to refresh and recharge. Great taking a break video and thinks for not just disappearing.
Awwww what a beautiful video, it's really honest and peaceful. Really great job x
