We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Alan Brockington a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alan, appreciate you joining us today. Have you been able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen? Was it like that from day one? If not, what were some of the major steps and milestones and do you think you could have sped up the process somehow knowing what you know now?
I’ve been a creative when I was a little boy. I create and live a life in storytelling. At first, I was a little bit nervous and afraid, but as I warmed up to creativity, I started to feel like I belonged somewhere. Despite all the challenges I faced, I somehow go above and beyond what’s expected of me and it was very, very heartwarming. What really makes me happy is love. And I want to give that love to all creatives in the community.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I have an IMDb page: “Alan Brockington”, Director of “Tension Games”.
I’m familiar with Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Lightroom.
I like to act.
I do camera work, sound, music, editing, etc.
Anything in media production I’m a real professional.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
This one lesson I had to unlearn was going fast. I may be a busy man but I want to try to slow down and think about some situations where I had to maybe read and symbolize what’s going on around me.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist or creative was getting out and putting my best foot forward and making good time with other people.
