Use a Tree to Write a Song

#11: Use a tree to write a song.

Now, this is not me, but it's bloody brilliant, and it's definitely something to take to heart.

If you don't have "the industry standard" tools, then use whatever you have. Paint with tea, build with scraps, cook a meal with leftovers, shoot a dance video in an abandoned factory if you don't have a formal studio. There are so many things you can use to do what you want in life. If you really want it, you gotta do with what you can instead of waiting for the "real deal."

Here's another example:

Toonboom has become one of the best beginner-to-pro animation software out there. A lot of potential animators don't have stuff out there because they don't have this piece of software.

But people have animated long before computers were even an idea!

Hand draw every frame and take pictures with your camera or smartphone. Put these together and you've got an animation! Now, that is a longer method, but it gets more results than waiting.
