A man tells about his obsession for his ex-girlfriend using pictures:

A staff secretary at the White House tells about the President’s Pens, a detail about the White House I loved to learn about:

And a video doesn’t always have to include the story. A data visualization of the disrupted airspace after the volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted in March this year. The imagery speaks for itself:

A good story is the basis of all wonderful videos. Just by using the most basic interview shots you can create some of the best videos, as long as you let people tell a story. Their story, the things that they want to tell you about, the things they are passionate about.

Like this man, who tells about his last hours with his dog, a dog that loved him despite his shortcomings and helped him through rough times.

Now grab your camera, go outside and start hunting for your own story.

I’m often a bit sceptical when artists are hyped and everyone starts talking about a musician, but I can’t deny I LOVE Kyteman. The amount of energy this guy has on stage and the way he conducts his hiphop orchestra. It makes me want to learn how to play trumpet/trombone/tuba/violin/cello/rap/drums all at once!

What really convinced me of the qualities of this group is the backstage jamsession at Pinkpop this year.

Go watch it now. IT WILL MAKE YOUR DAY!
