Who are you?
What is it that you want to do?
Why?
Where do you want to go?
What would you want to say?

These are all excellent questions that change daily at this stage in my life.

My name is Brooklyn Schugar, and I am a hardworking, pivoting, energetic person who constantly pushes myself outside my comfort zone and embraces change.

I want to create/make space for storytelling through the mundanity and simplicity of life. I want to uplift and create collaborative spaces where people believe in each other. Currently, advertising sounds exciting, and I’d love to make colorful, stylized, eye-catching Commercials/social media contact. Where? NYC would be a good fit for me because there will be other people on the ground hustling and having artistic visions similar to mine. As well as, there is more work there than in Seattle for me, and I’m not too fond of traffic, so right now, LA seems gross. On another note, I am open to many possibilities of where (besides LA full, time lol). My family encourages me to make content for brands & music artists in other countries, travel worldwide, and document my experiences. That would also be a great life experience for me, given I don’t have any strings attached anywhere.

What would I want to say?

The feeling I get when I work on a creative project Im passionate about can only be described as pure joy during the flow state. Getting to empower other people// products and make them look shiny & new, or at least that’s the way I see them, makes other people light up for me. I would want to give people that feeling…I don’t know. I grew up with a lot of learning disabilities & anxiety about the future, but I am becoming someone who does things even when I am scared shitless. And the experiences I’ve been able to have reflected that. So encouraging other people to do that same feels right.

I’ve been watching Cut videos for a hot minute. My favorite videos are ones where they bring a group of people with different options on the same topic, ask questions, and everyone arranges themselves, ranging from strongly agree & strongly disagree on issues like abortion rights or Religious beliefs. Having people from all ends of their opinions puts them in sections ranging from strongly disagree. I also like the format of asking 100 to 50 people the same question and getting reaction shots in a faster-paced edit; here are some questions that would be fun. These would be more inspirational/sentimental. (Ideally, ask 1-3 questions per video)

Is it better to have a highly creative job that pays little or a better-paying job with little creativity? 

What is your personal life has influenced you to choose your career?

What’s your ideal job, and how would you feel doing it? 

• What makes you perfect for the position?

When do you feel most inspired? What habits do you have during those times?

Do you consider yourself friends with your network? 

What does success look like for you?

When was the last time you screwed up a creative project & how did you react? 

What is the last trait/ habit you learned about yourself?

What is the last thing you learned? 

What will you miss in the future from this time in your life? 

If you could describe this stage of your life in one word, what would it be? 

Some of the movements of the maneuvers could have been more intuitive and felt forced. I don’t know how to describe it, but my hands should have moved seamlessly. For example, during the AI module, we got to play with the octo, which felt much more realistic; I wonder if that’s because it’s your whole surroundings or the movement & technology are more advanced.

I’m conflicted with a genuine interest in it. On the one hand, this is where technology is headed, and it’s better to learn about it sooner// early adapter. On the other hand, people in the 40s didn’t believe in the color film but look where we are now. And this isn’t different. But I think it is going to make people feel highly secluded and depressed in sort. It will
Eliminate raw random connection, which is one of the joys of life for me. Essentially geared toward younger generations, this will create a lake of connection in many ways and create connections in others. But in my opinion, I don’t think it’s worth it with the current information.

I see it more as entertainment than as advertising because it’s interactive. But we could interact with an advertisement… that’s cool. It’s hard to envision, but similar to the taco bell wedding, It’s could be a way to get your name out there. I wonder if it will be in an app or if they will create almost new phones (eventually) that everyone would have. It is hard to imagine, but realistically it will be a big part of the next generation’s reality. I’m a gen z, and I’ve been told I prosses information perplexingly differently than the generations before me, and that’s purely due to growing up with the internet & social media being so relevant to social dynamics.
