On the internet we’re all binary in some ways, I guess.  Zero or one.  Off or on.  Consume or create.  As a creator, I find myself being inspired constantly by things I’ve consumed. I’m going to share with you 6 videos I’ve consumed recently that have inspired me, in some way, over the past few months.

1) Zack Arias – Transform

I first saw this video (via Chase Jarvis’s blog) in Dec of 09.  I had just come off of some really great shoots only to be turned down, hard, left and right in the weeks afterward.  I could relate to his description of winter.

To hear what I’d been through put so eloquently and bluntly gave me hope.

2) This video is fantastic in so many ways, but for me, it’s the ‘what’ and ‘how’ – the emotion and the medium they use to express it.  Please, wear your seatbelt.

3) This video is near and dear to my heart because I’ve ridden most of these mountains, and I understand, no, I know firsthand how you’re changed after toiling up those grades. And to climb for the reason that they do…inspirational, indeed.

4) What, you thought I was going to be serious the entire post? Pff! I love this video just because it’s clever. That’s it!

5) This was another find via Chase Jarvis, and holy crap, did it blow my mind. Watch it, and let me know if you agree. Oh, and Del on the track? Loving it!

6) An interesting take on the simple and mundane.  Fwd’d to me by my buddy, Craig.

These videos have been the logs burning on my creative fire (whatever that means).  What are yours?
