Videos That Inspire Me

June 19, 2010

I have failed getting Production Journal entries out to you guys over the past week as I am in IN and have been to busy with no time to put them up. So I thought I would share some videos that have inspired me over the past few weeks. Some are very simple but have powerful stories.

I hope these videos inspire you to tell a story.

City of Black & White — Canon 7D documentary from Charles Son on Vimeo.

Worked for Me from Alex Dacev on Vimeo.

APRICOT — A Short Film by Ben Briand from Moonwalk Films on Vimeo.

Sorry about the nasally sound in my voice. Still sounding a little foggy as I fight of this cold bug.

  • Billy Cash Documentary:

Billy Cash – Live In Vegas from Zack McTee on Vimeo.

“After spending 2 days at NAB listening to everybody talk about how great their cameras are, I decided I’d seen all of the 3D and DSLR cameras I could stand. I was plenty inspired by seeing capability of the camera I was carrying in my backpack, and decided I’d spend the next day actually shooting something. That night I went to Karaoke with some friends and the minute I met the Karaoke host I knew I had to do a documentary with him.

This was all sort of last minute, and I didn’t really go to Vegas planning on shooting anything, but I’m happy I had my camera and that I got the chance to meet Billy Cash.

If you’re ever in Vegas, head over to Zingers (http://bit.ly/ddfvV2″) and say hello Billy.”

The way I said “ISO’s” sounds like they are a breed of an animal, “Look at all those ISO’s running!”
