Monday Morning Inspiration: Dan Stevers’ Christian Motion Graphics
Dan Stevers creates Christian-themed motion graphics. Over the past month or I’ve been watching and enjoying Dan Stevers‘ Christian-themed motion graphics videos on Vimeo. Two of my favourites are The Light of the World and Life With God. Some of Dan’s videos are artistic interpretations of Christian scripture, while others simply illustrate basic Christian principles.

Lou Romano’s Art of UP
Lou Romano shares some of his beautiful conceptual art from Pixar’s Up on his blog (image c Disney/Pixar). Up was the number one movie at the box office this weekend, which is pretty unsurprising since many critics are calling it Pixar’s best movie yet and because, well, it’s a Pixar movie. I haven’t seen it [...]
Memorial Day Inspiration: Sita Sings The Blues

Monday Morning Inspiration: Randy Pausch
Randy Pausch inspired the world with The Last Lecture. I made the oddest, most wonderful (and also tragic) discovery recently and I wanted to share it as this week’s Monday Morning Inspiration. When I first became interested in digital puppetry and started my Machin-X blog, someone told me about a program at Carnegie Mellon University [...]
Monday Morning Inspiration: The Magic of Mystery
J.J. Abrams understands (and explains) the power of the Mystery Box. I haven’t checked the weekend box office, but I have little doubt that J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek movie was a massive hit. Friends have raved to me about J.J. Abrams for years, but I’ve been a late, somewhat reluctant convert to the cult [...]
Monday Morning Inspiration: The Hunt For Gollum
Fan filmmaking get taken to the next level by The Hunt For Gollum, a remarkable movie made “by fans, for fans”. The Hunt For Gollum may be the greatest fan film ever made. In fact, I hesitate to even call it a “fan film” because it’s just so well done; there are professional movies and [...]

Monday Afternoon Inspiration: 279 Days To Overnight Success
Chris Guillebeau is the author of The Art of Nonconformity, a blog about personal development, entrepreneurship and unconventional work. Last year Chris set himself the goal of becoming a full-time, self-employed writer and launched his blog. His “overnight success” took less than a year to achieve and he expects to have a (mostly) passive income [...]
Monday Morning Inspiration: Jamie Caliri
Stop motion animator Jamie Caliri creates distinctive, beautifully crafted stop motion animation for film and television. In my current “day job” I design opening credits and title sequences. When I’m searching for inspiration I often watch the work of one of my favourite animators, Jamie Caliri. His amazing credits include the title sequences of Lemony [...]
