Creative Bulletin n.257

Here’s Brando’s presentation video >> https://vimeo.com/1043669264?share=copy 

It was my first stop-motion project with the new equipment, something I worked on during the Christmas holidays (though I ended up hurting my back in the process 😅).

How we’ll launch Brando. As always, through a small crowdfunding campaign. Starting Tuesday, January 21, at 2:00 PM (GMT +1), you’ll be able to pre-order one or more copies of Brando for a 7-day period.

Why a pre-sale? Industrial production with high-quality paper and printing is very expensive. As an independent publisher, we can’t afford to take big risks, so we use crowdfunding to support the launch of new products.

The digital version, complete with Miro templates, will be immediately available for download so you can start using Brando right away. A few weeks later, the printed product will arrive at your doorstep! 💪

The first 7 days are for the Sefirot community only. As always, the first 7 days of the launch will be exclusive to the Sefirot community. We’ve worked hard to offer the lowest possible price as a way of thanking you for your support and encouraging the product’s spread ❤️ Starting January 28, we’ll open the campaign to the public, and prices will increase.

Speaking of energy. With everything I’m doing to launch these new products, some people have asked me if I’m overdoing it. I’ve asked myself the same thing 😅. I even tried slowing down, taking some time for myself. But in doing so, I felt diminished, like I’d benched myself for no reason.

At the same time, I’ve noticed friends with more structured lives—envy-worthy sleep cycles—who still seem more tired than I am because they’re not doing something they love. Some can’t even remember what they love to do.

That’s when I felt grateful for having found what I love. And so, I doubled down, pouring in even more energy.

🌈 Creative takeaway: Creativity is a deeply conscious choice

When I worked in an agency, I worked less but felt like a zombie. Now, I hardly ever take vacations, but life feels like one continuous holiday.

Have the courage to choose what you love and hold onto it tightly.
That’s the true creative choice ❤️

Hugs,
Matteo
