Video Inspiration #8
Video Inspiration is a weekly(ish) post where we either feature a specific artist or show a sort of 'best of' list of videos we've discovered during the week. Everything here may not be brand new, but we felt it worth sharing with the community.
This week I'm featuring some cool videos I've found around the web that inspire me. However, I'd love to continue to post demo reels from you guys as well as cool stuff you're working on. Please feel free to send me your work or cool links in general to nathan@abduzeedo.com with 'video inspiration' in the subject line.
Enjoy!
