    I'm always interested in seeing what inspires others.

    I really liked this video I saw today of Shekhar Kapur titled, "We are the stories we tell ourselves"

    Maybe you can share some inspirations in the following posts.

    A video, a quote, a picture, anything.

    Well, again, my self first and foremost...

    For more then one reason, but mostly because when I look back at were I have been and what I have been thru and what I'm becoming and were I'm going... I have become inspired form my self, really, no joke, and I just so much hope that my journeys will inspire many to never give up and always persevere theyr dreams and their journey, no mater what!!


    After... the list is actually not very long, even if I do get inspired every day, by even the most insignificant of things, event, person... ;)


    Here is just a few of that list which are the most important to me, in ORDER of how they INSPIRED me by Year, and without getting in to much detail of why to each.

    Silvester Stallone, with ROCKY, He was the final reason and spark for me to move to AMERICA in 1989 and pursue my dream of telling my own story as He did, even so it has been taking a little longer for me.

    My baby sister Barbara, which went under the knife to give me one of her Kidneys to save my life, even so I had just tried to commit Suicide!!

    Jim Jannard, since 2006 when I first found out about him via DVX User, and joined the madness of what has today become Industry Standard "RED", because He proved that no matter what people say, if you truly believe in your dream, and go for it no matter what, great results can be achieved.

    Peter Jackson
    , since after for the first time seen LOTR, in 2006 ( yeah I know, I had been lost in the jungle some were in Mexico for few years), what He has done with the story and for the story, but mostly what He had to do to get to make it, was truly inspiring.

    James Cameron, since AVATAR, as it goes to show you that even so any one told him that Titanic was a one on a life time event to make such money, He was not that good at all, and that He was never to expect anything similar in revenues to happen, here comes Avatar, but the story told, and the journey there was the truly inspiring part.




    PS: John, you have made my day... ;)

    Still learning and in no way close to the likes of Ketch, Jim and co, but, well, here goes:

    Music- Music inspires me. If you see my videos, music is a very integral part of what I do and the way i tell stories. Sometimes when listening to music, stories and feelings form in my head and motivate me to write and create.

    The world I "see"- not only what I experience as a person, but how I see the world developing around me. May it be the news, friends, colleagues, events that happen next to me on the street, what i read... The world influences me and motivates me to tell stories about it.

    What I love influences me- my hometown, for example, my fiancee, motorsports, again music, my favourite films and directors, sometimes a piece of art or a particular performance...

    This one resonates intensely, for me at least.
