Thank you TED SEKO for having me as a guest on the IDIOT ENGINE PODCAST. Each episode Ted tackles a topic related to art and creating art. This week we talked about short films and the benefits and limitations of working in a short genre. Check it out below. You can also check out Ted's site at TEDSEKO.COM.
Yes he has a very nice..way about him. Which is to say his affable personality is very likable. Jim, Ted works a full time job, and still produces comics and animations. I would call him a busy person. Like yourself. In fact I would say most adults that have jobs are "busy". Between kids, the supermarket, and so on, most people are going full steam all day. Now with that said, let me ask the question. "How is it, you, are able to find the time for years mind you, to create personal projects, when you are so busy?" End of question. I am sure yoo have noticed that there are a handful of people like say Mike Hoffman (he paints a painting a day, and draws a comic book in his free time every 90 days) who are not only "busy" but very prolific. And it's not about speed. Or being quick. So how do you find the time..between laundry and work, to do your thing. When so many, struggle with doing anything? Are you just a driven person (seems not) like Mike Hoffman? Mike seems to have enough energy and talent for 3 people and is a good example of a "working artist" that for many years produces at a super high level. He has a wife and kids and so on, so he is "very busy". But still be paints, draws and so on everyday. I know his secret. He needs the money. That however, is NOT your secret. You don't pay the bills on DVD sales I am sure. So..what is the secret?? If you don't know, I would be interested if someone else could tell you WHY you are able to devote time, while others, cannot. What is different about your approach that leads to the successful creation of projects?
Hey there...Hmmm...I guess the best way to put it is creating my films is therapy for me. It calms my soul. Feels right. I guess it comes down to how bad you want a particular thing. It could be a good thing or a bad thing, it just depends on the desire. If you want something bad enough, one figures out a way to make it happen.
I'm going to check out Mike Hoffman's work. Thanks for the tip!
