1. Can't Hold Us - Macklemore And Ryan Lewis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zNSgSzhBfM If you're having the Monday blues or are seriously contemplating life, its meaning, and where yours is taking you, this has got to be the perfect video to get you pumped and motivated to get back into the swing of things. Seven minutes of beautiful landscape shots, lighting, and angles, the "Can't Hold Us" video takes us on a journey around the world to places most of us would dream to be able to see in person. We follow Macklemore and his gang travel through snow, air and sea on a journey to spread The Heist (the flag, a metaphor for music) across the country. Sometimes reaching success may seem like climbing mountains and going to the ends of the world, but in this video Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are setting an example. No matter where you are or who you are, as long as you work hard and believe, you can make it and nothing can hold you down. Ryan Lewis and his direction team certainly have great eyes for cinematography as this video is not only a entertaining and emotionally charged but a work of art.

Art is expression, with any possible form of media you can think of. Throughout my life I have experimented with many creative outlets such as music, writing, painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, and film.
Recently I have grown to love the art of film. It is a great way to get my creativity working in fantastic ways. I am now working on getting a degree in Communications with a minor in Creative Writing. I will be graduating from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2014 and hope to pursue a masters in film down the road.
I have currently started working as a video/audio assistant and technician at my University. I also freelance write, produce and edit stories, poetry, and video.
I hope that someday I can produce my own films and work on documentaries focusing on nature and destinations.
Life is too short to stop and think. Act, see, and experience the world and it's beauties. There's no better way to do that than seeing it first hand, then reminding yourself later of what awesome things you've seen, by looking through your camera or expressing it in a story.
