I know some people wonder if I can write short posts..
the answer is yes but it still won't be this time.
I also know that it may seem silly to celebrate numbers with long speeches and thanks, but I will not deviate from this rule.
Sorry in advance for any mistakes and if my words are distorted or lost in translation
I'm not good at speeches but I wanted to say more than just a thank you.
So I'm going to start by thanking
Eclips for organizing this ceremony,
thanks to those who helped and supported me here and on Discord,
to those who take the time to leave a post,
a big thank you to those who voted for Rhythms of Desire in its category and in the video of the year,
and thank you also to all those who did not vote for Rhythms of Desire but for the other creations.
Why thank those who didn't vote for Rhythms of Desire?
Because they supported a creation and its creator.
I can't imagine what the original creator of the first Cock Hero was thinking,
when one day he said to himself that he was going to create his project and then share it on internet,
but without his first step there is a strong probability that none of all the creations present in this year's votes would ever see the light of day,
mine at least.
But why start creating?
Creating can be something personal but also create human connections through sharing and helping each other,
It is not uncommon for what we give by creating and expressing ourselves to be given back to us.
Of course the process of creating can be long and difficult,
โThere can be no art without riskโ Maurice Ohana.
Risks that one must dare to take in order to be able to construct a work.
Starting with family and social pressures.
Furthermore, the risk of worldliness can lead to that of aesthetic compromise,
that of the desire to please, stronger than the intransigence of personal research,
a risk which can lead to a faded, redundant work, deprived of the energy specific to the creative act.
The complacency of the gaze can generate another, that of comfort:
not changing anything that pleases, what sells and corresponds to the trend of an era.
And finally face the risk of forgetting.
But the importance of creating is all the greater,
every day when doors close a little more, and other havens of freedom and creativity disappear
must push us to continue to create, share and inspire this freedom to create.
And if you don't create something yourself to support and assist in creation,
to show that you believe in those who create.
Dare to imbue your creations with something of you, of your personality
what inspires you, don't just do what is already done or what might please,
the AIs and the least inspired will do it very well themselves.
Neither wait for a more auspicious moment or a better opportunity,
the world is not waiting for you.
A very pretentious speech for such a project.
After time spent working on my project I sometimes wonder "why keep doing this? And for whom?"
Thanks to those who inspired me and I hope that I could pass this inspiration on to even one person.
Dare to start or continue to create, or at least support and believe in those who create.
Short version:
Creating is cool, get started or support it.
Thank you.
Please do not interpret these words to find in them an excuse for immoral works.
