    'El Riesgo Siempre Vive' - Taking Creative Risks - Jesse Chard

    In this episode we have a look at a little figurine that sits on my desk each day, that of Colonel Vasquez, the wise cracking heavy gunner from the 1986 sci-fi thriller 'Aliens'. Vasquez has on her chest plate the phrase ' El Riesgo Siempre Vive', meaning 'The Risk Always Lives'. When we are jumping into anything, we are taking risks. Hell, even being alive is risky, and none of us makes it out alive. So while we are around, what are we doing with ourselves? Why do we allow ourselves to be paralised by fear into inaction? I break all this shit down, hope you get something from it.

    The creative quality of 'ardency' - Jesse Chard - (Tarot: STRENGTH)'

    In today's episode of the podcast I talk about the concept of 'ardency' and its relation to creative pursuits and principles. If you aren't across this terminology (and it can have a wide range of translations), it means 'enthusiasm', 'willingness' and also speaks to a sort of mental fortitude or adoptive quality determined by one's attitude or entry into a discipline. It can be cultivated, but in many senses, it comes simply down to your own grit and determination.

    Do you struggle with overcommitment when you are making creative choices and dealing with creative endeavours? It's something that a lot of neurospicy people can struggle with - and while we might be well meaning, our initial enthusiasm, which means well, can actually lead to the suffering of others when we let them down.

    The Psychology Of The Interview - Peter Teys

    In today’s episode we speak to Peter Teys, a master of many, many creative disciplines - he’s media he is cinematographer, director, editor, producer, and highly accomplished stills photographer, and in the music world he has spent 3 decades as a drummer and percussionist, performing with scores of artists and performer, and he’s also studying the intricacies of percussion and complex polyrythms in west africa.     Peter is also one of my best friends - we have known each other since 1992 and have done a whole range of creative things together over the years, we have played in multiple bands across thrash metal and electronic music, as well as worked on a wide range of travel documentaries for World Nomads - so we have both been in the trenches together in terms of our relative creative development and evolution.   Peter is now moving much deeper into observational and factual documentary, coupling his love for rich imagery with the potency of capturing the essence of the human condition. He is working on a feature doc about the challenges and intricicaies of complex post traumatic stress disorder, interviewing a wide range of subjects about their experience with this terrible affliction.   A documentary like this requires emotional sensibility out the wazoo, and in our discussion, we find that to show up to be able to capture the meat and potatoes of a heavy topic, we need to be not only at a relatively optimal point of our own personal physical and mental wellbeing, we also need to know who we are as creatives.     This episode is called ‘the psychology of the interview’ and is for anyone who is taken with the task of pointing cameras at people, and asking themselves questions of any capacity. It seems easy until you start to do it, and you realise - quite quickly - that theres so much more going on in the interview than meets the eye. Enjoy!

For those who have lent their hand to editing knows that there are so many elements at play to making a good cut - and in many respects, it's all about building up those intuitive processes and instinctual readings of tempo, pacing, shot choice and meaning.  But is there something much, much deeper going on when we are building out a piece? --- Maia Dal Berger is an Australian filmmaker, producer, editor and creative powerhouse with years and years of experience across a range of disciplines - and now she's the founder of Video Cowgirls, a production house developed to champion and platform women creators. https://www.instagram.com/video_cowgirls/ She also is the founder of Honeytrap Soundsystem - an audio entity developed, designed and driven by women. https://www.instagram.com/honeytrapsoundsystem/ Follow Maia's main insta here too https://www.instagram.com/mayagold_maija/ And her main page to see all of her work combined https://www.maiadalberger.com/
