A Screenwriter’s Advice

I’ve been a huge fan of what Gavin has created over at ZenPencils for a while now, and figured this was a perfect opportunity to stir the pot from the usual videos that have been going up recently.  In a nutshell, Gavin takes inspirational quotes from well-known people and turns them into comics and cartoons, and has been incredibly successful at combining the two!

In the cartoon above, he adapts the quote from a commencement speech that Shonda Rhimes (screenwriter, director and television producer) gave at Dartmouth (seen here.) In it, she gives incredible advice on not only following your dreams, but understanding the work, persistence, and sacrifice that goes along with it.  Talk is cheap, action is not!

It Better Be Worth It

In honor of iOS 8, here’s something worth thinking about:

|“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent.  Because this is our life.  Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chose to do this with our lives.  So it better be damn good.  It better be worth it.” – Steve Jobs

Last Minutes With Oden

Great stories are the meat and potatoes of Silo Number Seven, there’s never been a question about it.  The only standard I have for content on this site, is real media that matters: emotion, thought, and a message. With that being said, Eliot Rausch is no stranger to producing moving footage that embodies all three qualities.  Check out the above!

I Have Been to the Mountaintop

| Something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up. And wherever they are assembled today, whether they are in Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee — the cry is always the same: “We want to be free.”  -MLK, Jr.

Stories That Matter

This video struck a particular chord, because the title seemed to be a life goal.  You know, Silo Number Seven started out as an archive of just that: stories that matter; more specifically, MEDIA that matters.  For some time now it’s been very defining for my own goals, but I hope this video provides the same type of insight for yourself.  Have a great weekend, folks.

Courage, by Amy Poehler

I came across the video above while reading the illustrated version by Zen Pencils, and thought a lot about the importance of taking steps that matter. Courageous steps, are often really difficult to take, but are also the ones that take us the farthest. Crazy, right?
