Hi creatives! How do you all go about your creative process or brainstorming tactics? I’m having the longest creative block :(

I google or hit relevant media sites that would show Work that’s relevant to what you’re working on for inspiration, old and modern work. Or go completely opposite and do something in a different creative field (make music, visit a gallery, etc) Brainstorm session on different creative topics, meditation clearing the mind

If u can’t come up w a solution, restate the problem as many different ways as u can. This has helped me get unstuck many times!

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
