Have a girlfriend and eat some cake too
While everyone runs into the typical bottlenecks to successful video production: schooling, writers block, boredom, budget, chores, job, inability, lack of interest, video games, trips, inadequate memory/ram and a hundred other things there's something to be said about girl friends (girls this may or may not loosely apply to boyfriends too). Some of your have the questionable blessing of being girl friend free giving you lots of time, some of you have a 'convenient' relationship where you're not REALLY together but you're officially dating because she/he's hot or available and you don't have to worry about getting a real significant other till later if ever. And some of us have the mixed blessing of a real girl friend that takes up the majority of our time and has no real interest in video production or standing idly by while you edit, produce, conceptualize or blog about it. Here in lies the problem of, as Reagan famously put it, 'You go in with everything or you don't go at all' (I paraphrase) when applied to the horrendous difficulty of "getting your foot in the door" in terms of professional film production. As much as you lust/love her you can't shake that feeling that those zitty basement dwellers are getting the upper hand on you in this race to get recognized and produce endless content. While you dilly dally in the wonderous fields of love a nagging feeling at the back of your mind keeps telling you unless you buckle down you won't make it; unless you give up everything and go for the goal you're just another hobbyist who still has to work 9-5 to maintain his creative resolve. Atleast that's what I get. Well the truth is it's not necessarily how many videos your youtube channel has, or how many websites you update and maintain in the hopes you'll be noticed out of the millions, in the end it's always the one video, or the one series that get's you where you want to go. Of course the more practice the better.
