Although targeted towards graphic designers/animators, this witty and inspiring animation by Sara Shin will speak immediately to any working creative professional.  It’s hard to keep the creative juices flowing, especially in the face of negative feedback, but a creative professional’s gotta do what a creative professional’s gotta do.  Although it’s just a minute and a half long, you could easily lose 15 today with the replay button.

Guerilla film-maker Casey Neistat delivers a direct-to-artery injection of pure, 100 proof, un-distilled inspiration in this short film documenting a jaunt around the globe.  If you needed a reason why today, check it out.  And then send it to everybody you know.

Directed by Romain Gavras, this video goes from 0 to 60 in the time that it takes to establish a hypnotic groove.  Limned by wide open spaces, death defying auto stunts, and enticing dips into super-slow motion, this is M.I.A. at her best in a dangerous but by no means cliche music video.

This is a slick, simple, beautiful, and clean animation about the principles of design as relates to branding.  This one is straight outta vimeo by Erica Gorochow, and deserves more than one view.

I love this animation.

Look no further.

The about video was crafted by yours truly.
