The Art of Creativity | Taika Waititi | TEDxDoha

Taika Waititi is a visual artist, actor, writer and director hailing from the Raukokore region of New Zealand. His short film Two Cars, One Night was nominated for an Academy Award in 2005. Taika's second and most recent feature, Boy, appeared at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals earlier this year. He discusses how creativity has helped him to express his ideas and led him to where he is today.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

    He had me sold when he said "My job is not film-making. My job is to be creative. My job is to express myself and to share my ideas and my point of view.". This came off to be such a profound truth, and it's so universal if you think about it. Most of us spend our lives finding that perfect job, perfect title, that elusive thing called "calling" - and all that we should rather be doing is just be ourselves at whatever we do.

We're just too afraid to be ourselves. I love that what I got out of this was, "I want to be like Taika. Which means I want to be like myself. Whatever that might look like."

He finds humor in the most absurd and saddest moments and everything he makes makes you think in return. Seeing this very early video/TedTalk with him is great. Much love ❤

    I have a feeling that upon hearing that, Taika would give you a pep talk about how great it is that you're here, and probably how he's had the same feeling at times in his own life. I feel that feeling a lot these days, but Taika also reminds me of myself in ways after watching this, with his inability to focus on just one creative outlet, and having a drive to express himself and his viewpoint through creativity, and getting obsessed with all kinds of things over the course of his life. When he was talking about his mom's cancer and how maybe doing a series of random bodily movements would keep him from getting cancer, that struck me as a very OCD sort of thing. I can relate to that. Maybe he was totally joking, or maybe he was poking fun at actually having OCD. Idk. Either way, Taika actually gives me hope for my professional future because he reminds me of myself in the ways I've mentioned, and has gotten as far as he has now. I used to compare myself to others a lot, but over the years, it's sunk in how unhelpful that is, and how miserable it can make you. I'm still tempted to do it, but when I feel myself sliding in that direction, I try to talk myself out of it and remind myself that it isn't going to help me. Just try to focus on being better than you were yesterday. That's been a more successful approach for me. I mean, I still get down when I feel I've stagnated, but you and I both also need to be kind to ourselves. Tearing ourselves down won't get us anywhere either.

    This has to be one of the most subtle, yet in-your-face creative assignment responses ever. Imagine this is your middle school project and you're given fairly free reign on a creative project. The sad thing is, most teachers I remember and have heard about from schools would still probably flunk him for 'not following directions'. Much different from other TED talks I've seen (not many, honestly) but I love it. "Hey, Taika, wanna do a TED talk?" Taika: *(15 Minute Stand-Up Set with Solid Underlying Subject Matter)* Who's to tell him he can't be creative in his own presentation on creativity? He nailed it.

It's hard to be in a bad mood after listening to Taika

    screenrant.com/thor-3-taika-waititi-marvel/ Quote from this article: "You should get someone who’s really weird, like me, who’s never made one of these things before. And then you guide them and shape them and make sure they don’t spend all the money on leather jackets.” Ha ha, leather jackets, love the FOTC reference. It is a star move though, very rock'n roll!

    When I first went public with my artwork I quickly met my first art critic and he tried to convince me to essentially pick a style and stick to it... but well, I'm sorry, there's too much interesting territory out there to be explored (especially since I was just starting out & in my 20s) to limit oneself so easily.

Fail often, fail upward. 'Nuff said. /out
