Creative process as lifestyle montagefrom @iamfieldnotes
[01]
Overview
The video opens by posing the question "what's your creative process?" via a text overlay as a man shucks and eats an oyster. It then transitions into a montage of diverse, aesthetically curated clips labeled "the process:", which include scenes of watching movies, socializing, cooking, attending parties, and listening to music. The montage visually defines the creative process as a collection of rich life experiences and cultural consumption rather than a structured workflow.

Steal this for your own video
people ask me about my process... this is my process:
- — people ask me about my writing process... this is my writing process: long drives, bad reality TV, and eavesdropping at coffee shops
- — people ask me about my design process... this is my design process: thrift stores, late dinners, and movies I've already seen three times
- — people ask me about my cooking process... this is my cooking process: record stores, people watching, and every farmers market within 30 miles

Hook and payoff
The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back
Hook
A relatable, open-ended question is presented as a text overlay on an engaging, sensory-rich opening shot, creating immediate curiosity about the answer.
Payoff
The payoff is the viewer's own interpretation. By providing a collage instead of a conclusion, the video delivers a feeling or a 'vibe' that the audience synthesizes, creating a more personal and resonant takeaway.
