I have a friend who said that he became an artist to avoid having to have a real job. Work is to me two things - something you do with your time while being alive, and an important social system. Like my friend I am not much for the latter way. On the other hand, I work all the time. Due to my recent weaknesses I actually had the idea that I might need to take some time of Sunday - do whatever I wanted, but in the end all I wanted was to get on with my projects. I have had times in the past where I could be stressed from to many obligations and personal goals, but right now I just throw it all away if I can't handle it, like I had to do in January/February. It is after all just work :)
I loved the video too. Video-quality, clothing, the whole way of recording... I am not sure what does it but it has a completely different vibe from something made today.
Thanks for your feedback! For myself I can say, that I also work all day (and sometimes even stress me about getting not enough things done). But as it's mostly self-determined work, it feels natural and right. When I worked for other people, I often felt heteronomous and used very often. So I guess, I should follow my instincts and make a living by doing what I want to do (however you call it).
When I bought the video camera, it somehow became obvious, that this could be the way to go regarding my jobwise direction. And so I became a Cameraman and Editor some years later. I guess, it didn't has to do with my camera work (and the great zooming), rather with the ability to catch a certain moment in time.
