Be The Change: For Creativity

Project 1: #01

FOR ALL THE TIMES WE NEVER SAID.


I spent most of my time on Youtube, watching videos and films.
For me, Youtube is just a magical existing. 
I love how it carries and brings out video creators' ideas of life to the people around the world.

There are over 7 billion of people in the world, and I am in Malaysia, a small Asian country. I may not know who are the creators and the people in those videos but I am able to see how and what they are trying to transmit: their messages(verbally or non-verbally), through videos, through Youtube. Isn't it sounds fantastic? :)


I've watched a lot of videos before this. Oh! Just so you know, I love music. 
This is a big part of the reasons which I am very much appreciate the existence of Youtube. (Let's not think about the copyright thingy first okay?) Lol.


Now.
Those who create and upload their videos to their channel, are commonly known as Youtubers.


Each of them(their videos, channels, contents) is unique. Some of them direct their own videos, but there are also some of them are musician/band(more focusing on music kinda thing).


I have my very own list of favorite Youtubers and channels. They inspire me from day to day.

But what I am going to tell is something more interesting, something which I can hardly describe, you have to feel it by yourself.

They are all the videos from a Youtube channel that called The Jubilee Project.



They highlight, and trying to remind people of the small yet important pieces in our lives.
Things that people don't usually realize/notice/think/say it out loud until they are being reminded or questioned.




They often talk about spreading love at The Jubilee Project because they believe that doing good is contagious and we should all be loving/kind to everyone.

In the beginning of this year, they created a video about "being the change you want to see in the world". They solicited the help from several famous Youtubers, to answer that question(so you might see familiar faces).



These videos they made, their creation, are the examples of creativity. To me, creativity is something comes from an idea(or we prefer to call it inspiration). It has no form, it doesn't follow any system. It may just pop-up to your mind when you walking through an alley or even when you are just watching TV. Creativity is the result of inspiration.
It's everywhere, anywhere.

The Jubilee Project inspires me to be creative. By how I see them express their thoughts by making videos, it somehow triggers the right side of my brain(creative side) to discover and to look for the blinded side/perspective which people don't usually notice/ask/question. The successful examples from the "creative people", such as "Steve Jobs"(was CEO of Apple company), "Jonathan Ive"(Apple company's Industrial Designer) and Madonna(entertainer) have proofed that the bingo point is to think outside the box, keep questioning ourselves and look for the solution.


By the change of mindset, we will see a different kind of world. And the different kind of perspective to see the world, is just right the key to the door of "Creativity".
