Powerful short done for Italian-based construction and civil engineering company, Salini Impregilo.  What better way to draw in the greatest thinkers and minds to your company, than to produce a compelling call of action? I said it before and I’ll say it again, companies that utilize emotive storytelling in their marketing will ALWAYS go far.

The introvert, the dreamer, the one who managed to see and do things beyond others understanding

To be honest, I’m not too sure how to describe this documentary by Ryan Reichenfeld, but I know it left me feeling something.  There’s a bleakness that leads into this empty wondering — it’s interesting and resonated so well that I felt like it should be shared.

| Following Sean as he wakes up at 3:30am to cook burgers at the ‘Jack In The Box’ restaurant, skates around his hometown and goes fishing, at first Reichenfeld’s film may appear like it is about nothing much at all, but it’s this wandering, almost poetic feel that turns out to be its most affecting and resonating features.

Remarkable textures and visuals combined with an introspective monologue makes for a resonating piece of art. Combine this with this video, and you have a deadly combination of exploration and adventure.

| Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea of the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds – and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there.

The good folks over at The Do Blog put up this post sometime last year, but I only seemed to have stumbled across it recently.  An incredible piece by the always ambitious, Google.  Here’s to your inspiration for the week!

|Before you tell yourself that your idea is too ambitious, too unrealistic, too pie-in-the-sky; remember that once there were no planes. There were no rockets to take us into space. There were no computers.

Someone had to take the first leap. Someone had to build wings out of wood and try to fly. Someone had to look logic in the face and tell it to do one. That someone had the courage to try. And our world today is shaped by their efforts.
