Over the years I have felt like any creativity that I once had has since vanished to the black hole of Calcutta and didn't leave a forwarding address. Why is it gone? I don't know. It could be because of working for corporate America where all sense of creativity and humanity is squashed in the quest for the all-mighty dollar (yay capitalism!). Or, it could be because I care too much about what people think and don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
But, I digress...
I find that I envy and applaud people who are able to break away from the norm and follow the beat of their own drum. (Now, we're talking about breaking away within reason, I'm not clapping for Charles Manson here or anything.) In fact, one of the reasons that I wanted to become a teacher and focus on the elementary level is because children have an amazing amount of innocence and wonder. That, and I want to form my own army of minions.
Browsing through some news today online, I came across a few videos that made me marvel at their brilliance. These clips are just movie trailers, but the editors have redone them to reflect that movie but in a different genre. Not only are they well thought out, but they are actually well made (a rarity in today's world where anyone can make a video and call themselves an editor).
So, to you who are able to think outside of the box, I salute you.

*I know there are a lot more out there, but these are just a few of my favorites. Do you have any recommendations?
