Luke Payne in Winston Salem, North Carolina is spending a year making music videos in lukepaynemusic...
Why did you decide to do this project? I wanted to see what I could learn from it. Posting videos was scary at first. I feared being judged. I wanted to overcome that fear. I also wanted to get a clearer picture of who I am as an artist, what my strengths and weaknesses are, etc. I decided that collecting all this data would empower me as I go forward, that I'd make better choices as a result of being better informed. I also wanted to give the universe a chance to experience my work. If not now, then when? I also thought having to meet all these short term might help me get organized.
How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? The fear is more or less gone, and that is liberating. I do not always have time to create things that I am thrilled with, but I do find that I can always come up with something that I feel is worth sharing. The well is deep. I don't think it will ever run dry. This project has given me a stronger conviction that creating is really simply a matter of making time to create. No more, no less. I have learned a lot about making videos. I am getting a picture of where I have been, what things I have gathered over the years, and how they have coalesced to make me into the artist I now am.
