All of us I think at the end of the day are driven to create, and that’s what really gets us excited and what drive us. The challenge with that is that in many cases, that can take over. Or at least it can cloud your judgement. You’re going to put in extra hours because you want to go the extra mile. And you’re going to try to push things as far as you can as an artist.

Walt Jones, CG Supervisor at now bankrupt Rhythm & Hues Studios - Life After Pi

Each time I listen to someone talking about the extra mile they put because of their passion for what they do, I skip a heart beat. I’m so much the same.

If you want to understand how difficult the market is in the VFX, just watch this documentary.

If you own one of this card, I hope you have it framed. That was the future.

Breaking Mad Remix (Season 1 and 2)

This is SO EPIC. I would not know where to begin to describe how good this is. Just listen to it without watching and you may grasp its magic.

The part 2 is also awesome, but this particular piece is an anthology to be remembered, as long as the show itself, meaning the eternity.

Life is like a camera… Focus on what’s important, capture the good times. Develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, take a nother shot.

GoPro: Hovercraft Deer Rescue

Go Pro, there are just amazing. They freaking know how to stand-out, make a name for themselves, through the name of all their clients and what they believe into and love doing.

They do not sell a technology, but a way of living and being.

They are a brand like Apple is. Human.

This is a pretty big leap for any company and very few companies have succeed something like this. Just look at this video here, it has been seen more than 2.5 millions times already. A vast majority of their videos on their channel have more than 10 millions views, some even closing around 30 millions!

No Ads!, No Games! No Gimmicks!

WhatApps’s Jan Koum keeps a note from Brian taped to his desk that reads “No Ads! No Games! No Gimmicks!” It serves as a daily reminder of their commitment to stay focused on building a pure messaging experience.

This what FOCUS worth when your are 500% committed to it… 19 billions.. (and 6.8 billions for Koum alone).
