we became gymnasts, director's commentary (Patreon)

I actually cut around this VOD quite a bit. The original was somehow over an hour, so I reduced it to be more watchable.

19:10 - 24:59
To summarize:
Sharing your method outside of a small circle in the modern internet is not conducive to any development of creativity. It just helps to homogenize anything saleable into the assembly line of the "content-grind".

I avoid sharing information because retaining any sense of individuality comes from isolating through skill, and access. Furthermore, I don't look to my contemporaries for inspiration. It comes in music, art, photography and experiences.

That's not to say that I view myself as some monolith of "true" creativity; in fact, I don't really find anything I've made to be all that impressive. And I don't lack respect for those who view their content as a mass-marketed product, to be sold efficiently.

I just think one should find their own way. The resources for you to build are readily available. Asking for someone else's keys is cheap, and lazy.
