Creative + Creativity = ?


I can't really tell what the differences between creative are and creativity but I do know both words refer to something unique. Things that you don't see it every day, something that beyond the wall which you have to think about it out of the box. I believe everybody has their own creativity wheather through writing, drawing, photography, music, graphic and etc.

Well, I'm sure ideas don't come easily otherwise it won't be interesting. Some said creative people are not stable mentally but I guess somehow it's true. I'm not saying all creative people are insane but maybe the way their think is different from other people. Maybe there are more sensitive and details. For an example, when you're being painted or photographed, there is a sense of intimacy that is uncomfortably strong
. Every each of your being, your face particularly in a portrait is being observed and analyzed. You won't help feeling ashamed, unless you're a really confident person. You would smile to feel normal again, but he knows you're trying to hide your emotions. You would move your head hither and thither trying to avoid that awkward gaze but then he would ask you to stay still. You would look down and blushing, but he would need your eye contact to get into your soul. That is how creative people make to other people. They will hunt your soul down and they will get into you just to produce something unusual. That is what I see in creative people.

Basically creative people deal with advertising. That's their playground. Even though their dealing with the same thing but how their deliver it to people is what matter. What type of form they are using as a tool to deliver it that is what makes it different.

I found out this video is so cool. It's a stop motion video which I'm sure consisting of more than thousand images for 3-4 minutes duration. What makes this video interesting is because it was produced using one location, one camera angle and all the tool that been using are basically pillow, blanket and clothes. You can see the movement, location, weather changes in the video. It was simple but yet very powerful in content. It must take lots of courage since its deal with time. Every single change need to be captured. I guess suffering does lead to greater artistic and creative achievement. Suffering means that you've been through something of significance. With that in mind, if you are inspired by something of significance, it will likely come through in your work. If you are inspired by things your wiener tells you, you're not going to have a masterpiece on your hands. (by JoeyGoebel)

In these times of too-often mundane culture, just how drastic a measure is needed to bring true creativity back into the world?
