Daily Inspiration: Meet Brittney Miller

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittney Miller

Hi Brittney, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
The Loopfruits project began about four months after I moved to Denver. Which was part of my reasoning for moving here, to create and be surrounded by other creatives. I didn’t necessarily know what I wanted to create yet, but I knew being in this environment would spark something in me. Having always been a supporter of artists, producers, and my friends in the music scene, I felt a strong desire to contribute to their work. So, one day I sat down and thought about how I could make this happen and never looked back. While I’m still in the learning process, it’s been incredibly rewarding to witness my progress. I have a tendency to start projects without following through, but this one has stuck with me, and I finally feel like I’ve found my “thing” as I like to say. My friends and fellow creatives are what have made this possible and they continue to inspire me everyday. At my core, I’m a supporter, and that’s the foundation of my entire project. It feels a little wrong for me to be writing this instead of the ones I do this for. I’m surrounded by so many amazing people and they deserve all the credit.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has definitely been bumpy that’s for certain. Moving to Denver from Oklahoma, not knowing a single soul, was a huge mental challenge in itself. However, anything worth doing was never easy, which is what kept me motivated throughout this journey. Being able to make art is a privilege. You have to be willing to invest in yourself, which is something that is easier said than done. There’s a lot of discipline involved and holding yourself accountable. For me the biggest challenge was staying focused and overcoming the belief that there was no room for me in this space. That there were too many people making the same thing as me and there wasn’t a need. This way of thinking was so limiting and I’m very thankful to have been able to shut that out when I did. I’ve held myself back from going after what I wanted in so many different situations due to fear and not believing in myself. I knew if I wanted this to work I had to make a change. Loopfruits gave me the ability to express myself and take up space in this world. No matter how big or small that space is. That’s something I hope everyone can find for themselves in this life.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I primarily make visuals/promo videos for music producers, but I like to make edits of me and my friends doing cool stuff here and there as well. It could be anything from behind the scenes of us filming, snowboarding, skateboarding, or simply just getting content and having fun.
Loopfruits started as a live footage based project, so I was collaborating with other photographers/videographers/creatives, to execute my ideas. This became really challenging trying to work around everyone’s schedules, so I decided to go more of the visualizer route. This style of video seemed to get the most attention on my page from what I noticed anyways. I also found these to be really satisfying/enjoyable to make, so I decided to stick with it and see where it goes. I do miss the in person collaborative aspect of the “music video” style edits, and I’ve met some of my closest friends through doing this, so I hope that’s something I can continue to incorporate moving forward. I have some other small creative outlets as well. I love to draw, paint, shoot on my film camera, and make SoundCloud playlists.
At the heart of it though, and the only thing I can truly classify myself as, is an admirer and supporter of all my fellow creators.

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
This is an interesting question that I haven’t really thought about. I witness video editing getting more advanced almost daily. With all of the different softwares and programs we can use and combine to create these effects, it’s a little hard to keep up at times. But my goal and hope for myself in the industry anyways, is to create a form of mixed media visuals (using live footage in combination with animation effects) to separate myself from what typically comes to mind when you think of show visuals. I think this is a really cool concept, I’ve only seen a handful of people do this, so I’m going to be spending more time perfecting this over the next few years. I hope other visual artists/editors per-say, dive into this as well.
