I've been working on a couple of projects recently which have reiterated to me the power of collaboration, when it comes to creative work.
Many people who know me would have heard me rant about how much I hated group projects at school, because the other kids would ruin them. But it has been really illuminating to re-evaluate my stance as I get more into film work- which is by nature a team sport.
The euphoric rush of having the right crew come along to support me as I realise a creative vision is like nothing else I've ever experienced. And on the other side too- using my unique perspectives and talents to help someone else create what is in their head- opens up whole new spheres of creative potential (without having to carry the lonely responsibility of being the director!)
Anyway, I saw this video the other day and was really inspired by how these two supposedly opposite groups of musicians could come together and create something so uniquely beautiful in just three hours.
Enjoy!
