I stumbled across a great video on motivation the other day.

Not the “get off the couch you bum” type of motivation, more the “where should my light, sound and camera movements be coming from and going to”, kind of motivation.
Making a scene look good and make sense, which are two different things, can be tough. Motivating or logically enhancing these elements makes all the difference and researching the subject tends to find the usual suspects in the vlog-o-sphere.
Even without a ball, there is context, drama and focus to this image. Most things make themselves known in the real world, making the real world from scratch is another matter.
I tend to be picky with my research content, probably unfairly.
If I am confronted with a tight t-shirt stretched over too many muscles, hat backward, presenter using “insider” speak as a self promotion piece, I tend to switch off.
Literally.
The video above was a beauty and was delivered with balance.
Other Bloggers I tend to be drawn towards (in no particular order) are;
Sam Holland, Luc Forsyth, Micro Four Nerds, Josh Cameron, Pas PZ, Mark Bone, Geeky Nerdy Techy, Story Driven Thomas, Fellow Film Maker, Caleb Hoover, Studio Binder, Red Frame Tech, Red 35, Camera Geeks, Camera Conspiracies, Three Blind Men and an Elephant, In Depth Cine, Lewis Potts, Roger in Finland and some others I forget (sorry guys).
This is of course subject to relevance, so I would probably never stumble over a Sony only users sight unless they use a certain subject, lens or a mic I like, but for my needs, these are the main ones.
I am not saying that these are the only people with a relevant thing to say, but they are real enough to get my vote.
