After all, everyone knows that limitation is creativity\u2019s best friend. When you know the rules and boundaries, you can let your imagination run wild. It was especially clear to us after watching all your&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Artlist+B-roll+Challenge\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">amazing submissions<\/a>&nbsp;to our&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/welcome-to-artlists-home-b-roll-challenge\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Home B-Roll Challenge<\/a>&nbsp;and realizing how passionate and resourceful creators are. We will announce the winners on April 23rd, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To encourage this wave of creativity, we recently launched another competition &#8211; the&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/launching-artlists-showreel-competition\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Showreel contest<\/a>. Send us your showreel until May 3rd at 6 PM (GMT+3) and you could win a lifetime&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/page\/pricing\/max\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subscription to Artlist<\/a>,&nbsp;Spiffy Gear lights&nbsp;and more. We\u2019ll announce the winners on May 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have ideas waiting for you to start working on them, unfinished projects or you want to attract new business, here are a few suggestions that will help you keep creating without leaving your house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use stock footage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent post, we suggested you&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/what-to-do-when-filmmaking-jobs-are-down\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upload your footage to a stock site<\/a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/6-ways-to-earn-passive-income-as-a-video-creator\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earn passive income<\/a>, which could be a lifesaver these days. Using stock footage is an excellent and affordable tool you can use to create videos without leaving your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1291\" height=\"811\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/working-from-home3.jpg\&quot;" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/working-from-home3.jpg 1291w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2020\ 04\ working-from-home3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2020\ 04\ working-from-home3-1024x643.jpg 1024w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2020\ 04\ working-from-home3-768x482.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1291px) 100vw, 1291px\" \ /><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/how-to-get-video-stock-footage-for-your-project\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stock video footage<\/a>&nbsp;has always been a great tool for filmmakers to use in projects that are either missing some shots or are stuck in the planning stage. Now that shooting outside has become more difficult, its popularity has only increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artlist presents its footage in the form of stories, meaning you have many different shots from the same production. You can use the footage on to create entire videos with a coherent story and cohesive style. It could also give you inspiration for your next project. Check it out <a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/stock-footage\&quot;">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try animation or VFX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this might not be a solution for unfinished videos, translating your new video ideas and projects into animation could open up a new world of creative freedom. This will also enable you to tell your story while working from home without depending on the outside world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various animation styles out there and a dedicated program for each.&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/aftereffects.html\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After Effects<\/a>&nbsp;is a great tool both for motion graphics and for compositing. You can use it to create so many things, from basic titles to crazy video art, no matter your level of expertise.&nbsp;<i>Blackmagic Design&#8217;s<\/i>&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.blackmagicdesign.com\/products\/fusion\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fusion<\/a>&nbsp;can also be a great option to check out for the more experienced, mainly for composting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make your animation in 3D, remember the wise words of Axl Rose, \u2019&#8230;take it slow and things will be just fine. All we need is just a little patience.\u2019 The dedicated 3D programs are more complex and require time to learn, but if like many creators, time is something you have to spare these days, you have three primary options:&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/maya\/overview\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maya<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/3ds-max\/overview\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3DS Max<\/a>&nbsp;are both veteran animation programs, while&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.maxon.net\/en-us\/products\/cinema-4d\/overview\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cinema 4D<\/a>&nbsp;is getting more and more popular. Plus, if you have After Effects, you get the light version for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another excellent tool for either animation, compositing or 3D is&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.blender.org\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blender<\/a>. This open-source software is not only&nbsp;free, but it has a great community of creators and programmers who could help you with technical issues as well as creative ideas.&nbsp;Stop motion is another style of animation you could consider getting into, and&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.dragonframe.com\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dragonframe<\/a>&nbsp;would be the best program for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stop motion is a cool technique that makes highly original and memorable videos. Shooting 25 frames per second will take time, but if this is the style you like, go for it. It could become a great source for new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The web is full of animation software tutorials for every expertise level, like&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/GreyscaleGorilla\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greyscalegorilla<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCZsHHoDLK0s6r44ifx0DnXQ\/featured\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrey Lebrov<\/a>, and now is the perfect opportunity to learn or improve your animation skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remote collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Filmmaking is a collaborative art. Even vloggers and&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/how-to-become-a-full-time-youtuber\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTubers<\/a>&nbsp;who look like they do everything by themselves, work with other people. Social distancing has made collaboration more difficult, but here are some online tools that could help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"977\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gabriel-benois-qnWPjzewewA-unsplash_30-1300x977-1.jpg\&quot;" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gabriel-benois-qnWPjzewewA-unsplash_30-1300x977-1.jpg 1300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2020\ 04\ gabriel-benois-qnWPjzewewA-unsplash_30-1300x977-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2020\ 04\ gabriel-benois-qnWPjzewewA-unsplash_30-1300x977-1-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2020\ 04\ gabriel-benois-qnWPjzewewA-unsplash_30-1300x977-1-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \ /><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo by Gabriel Benois on Unsplash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href="\&quot;http:\/\/zoom.us\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoom<\/a>&nbsp;has already become one of the hottest products since all hell broke loose. You can use it to hold video calls with multiple participants for brainstorming, planning or anything really. If you have Gmail, Google Hangouts is an excellent option for online communication. It doesn\u2019t require opening a new account or installing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video calls are nice, but there are excellent tools that allow you to do more while working from home.&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;http:\/\/frame.io\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Film.io<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;http:\/\/wipster.io\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wipster<\/a>&nbsp;are&nbsp;remote collaboration platforms dedicated to video projects. You can share your work with others to get feedback, but also for coloring, sound design and more. Besides these two programs, you can use Adobe Premiere\u2019s&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/meet-adobe-premiere-team-project-slick-new-feature-for-seamless-collaboration\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collaborative product<\/a>&nbsp;called&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/il_en\/creativecloud\/team-projects.html\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Team Projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a digital product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Experienced creators and influencers can think about creating and selling a digital product, like an online course or a digital asset. If you feel you have enough expertise in editing, color grading, lighting or gear, start planning and building an online course. You can either choose one area that you master, like&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/waqasqazi.podia.com\/freelance-colorist\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this freelance colorist<\/a>&nbsp;or collaborate (remotely, of course) with others to create a course that covers all parts of the filmmaking process, like these guys at&nbsp;<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/www.fulltimefilmmaker.com\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fulltime Filmmaker<\/a>. Online training sessions are a great way to make your courses even more attractive since it reassures people that you are for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Artlist, we\u2019re putting together our own Daily Film School, offering short tutorials in different aspects of filmmaking. You will find anything from lighting tips to post-production techniques to DIY hacks, and it is completely free. Stay tuned&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is creating digital assets. You can make LUT packs, sound packs (if you&#8217;re good with sound design), presets, anamorphic flares, light effects and more and then sell them online.
