Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lukas Kuich. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Lukas, thanks for joining us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
I learned my skills as a videographer through internships and various jobs. These hands-on experiences were invaluable in teaching me the technical aspects of videography as well as the nuances of the industry.
If I could go back, I would have taken more risks and been less afraid of making mistakes. Embracing challenges and pushing my boundaries would have likely accelerated my learning process.
In this industry, the ability to appear confident, even when you might not always feel it, is essential. This skill helps in gaining trust from clients and colleagues and in navigating high-pressure situations effectively.
One of the main obstacles I faced was the fear of failure, which often held me back from taking on bigger projects or experimenting with new techniques. Overcoming this fear and being open to learning from mistakes has been crucial in my professional growth.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I create videos and short films, and I have also been involved in producing commercial advertisements in various capacities. My love for the medium of film began in my childhood, watching many movies with my family—a passion that has never faded. Telling visual stories satisfies my creative hunger more than any other medium. I also enjoy painting and making music, but film/video is truly something special.
What sets me apart from most artists is my deep connection to my subconscious. I dream vividly and frequently, and this connection is incredibly important to me. I strive to highlight this in all my artistic endeavors. Not everything has to be rational and logical—sometimes it’s abstract, absurd, and chaotic, much like our inner thought world.
What I aim to achieve with my work is to create pieces that people can identify with, touching on emotions and thoughts they might not have realized they had. I want my work to resonate with people on a profound level, revealing the hidden tones within their own minds.
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
Find people who are passionate about what they do. Always be honest with your team. Lead by example. Never ask your team to do something you wouldn’t do yourself.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The entire process, from the initial idea in my head to the finished film, is the most rewarding aspect. It’s the most exhausting and challenging thing I’ve ever done, but when the project is successfully completed, it makes me happy for a brief moment before it all begins again.
