03 / SHORT VIDEOS
● LIVE & EVOLVING
Thomas.
Inexplicably.
Rebuilding at 42.
Results currently inconclusive.
Short videos about daily life, travelling, questionable decisions and the things I apparently have opinions about.
CURRENTLY ON TIKTOK
@thomas.inexplicably · An ongoing experiment.
01 / THE IDEA
I had a thought. Unfortunately, I also had a camera.
At some point, I decided to stop thinking quite so much about making videos and actually start making them.
Not a carefully planned content empire. Not a personal brand with twelve pillars and a mission statement. Just short observations from everyday life, travelling and whatever happens to be occupying my brain.
Sometimes funny. Sometimes a little more personal. Occasionally about something so specific that I’m not entirely sure why I felt the need to share it.
THE CREATIVE BRIEF
Make things.
Put them out there.
Try not to overthink everything.
The third part is proving particularly ambitious.
01 / THE ABSURD
Little dramas.
Normal moments that apparently require a full commentary.
02 / THE ROAD
Life in motion.
Travelling, living in Petal and figuring things out along the way.
03 / THE HUMAN
Thinking out loud.
A few honest thoughts about change, growing up and starting again.
02 / THE VIDEOS
Three moments that somehow became content.
Not a polished showreel. Just a small selection of what happens when I stop keeping every observation to myself.
01 / THE COMMENTARY
An observation was made.
Apparently an ordinary moment required me to get the camera out.
02 / THE VAN
My self-built van.
Petal makes an appearance. Naturally, she considers herself the main character.
03 / THE CROQUETAS
Seventeen croquetas.
A perfectly reasonable number. Apparently also a perfectly reasonable subject for a video.
03 / THE EXPERIMENT
Learning by making. Publicly.
This is as much a creative experiment as it is a video series. I’m learning what I enjoy making, what actually works on screen, and how to turn an everyday thought into something worth watching.
01
Notice.
A small moment, an unexpected thought, a situation worth remembering.
02
Make.
Film something. Edit it. Decide whether the joke still works once it’s on screen.
03
Publish.
Put it out there. Learn something. Resist the urge to turn every post into a performance review.
04 / WHAT I’M LEARNING
An experiment in showing up.
Making short videos is teaching me to be more comfortable experimenting in public. To recognise a story, find its rhythm and figure out when to stop editing.
It’s also a reminder that not every creative project needs a business model or a grand strategy before it deserves to exist.
Sometimes the point is simply to make the thing.
CURRENT FINDINGS
The less I try to sound like a content creator, the more I sound like myself.
Which seems like a fairly good place to start.
CURRENTLY
Still making videos.
Still inexplicable.
The series is live and evolving. New places, new observations, possibly new evidence that I should spend slightly less time thinking out loud.
