Welcome to Creative Empathy! Where we aim to cultivate empathy through sharing creative lifestyles.

In this third episode we are sitting down with DP/Director Zach Taylor of Taylor Visuels out in Drummondville, Quebec. We talk all things filmmaking from the perspective and goal of story-telling; in commercials, to narrative, to documentary; and look at how he started a business creating films for clients.
If you had to shift from personal work to client work (or vice-versa) how would that shift change your creative process?

About Creative Empathy:

This is a show dedicated to hearing people’s stories and giving them the time and space to share them, share their passions, and share their creativity, and the hope is by doing so we will add a bit more empathy to the world and care for one another just a little bit better. And who knows, maybe we’ll all become better artists as we become better people.

I hope you join for the ride as we explore people’s creativity and the lives that inform them.

Welcome to Creative Empathy! Where we aim to cultivate empathy through sharing creative lifestyles.

In this episode we are talking with Heather Friedel, a painter from Ontario practicing multiple styles and mediums from small pastel plein air to large studio oil paintings. We happened to record this one in a nature reserve in her hometown of Waterloo sitting by a small stream, so please forgive the wind noise and other ambience!
How does location and circumstances affect your creativity? And how can you use difficult settings to practice your creativity in new and interesting ways?
