Under the Influence of Awesome

INFLUENCERS FULL VERSION from R+I creative on Vimeo.



This is a really cool video about influencers. Basically people who are at the head of social trends whether it be in art, music, film, or business these people have unprecedented influence over their peers and ultimately their followers. Personally my favorite influencers are Bob Dylan, Martin Scorsese, and Tina Fey. Dylan is an obvious choice for groundbreaking musically talents and overall social presence. Being able to make amazing music while addressing social issues and coming off preachy or pretentious. Scorsese is a big inspiration for me personally because he was involved in the Catholic Church but then decided to channel his efforts towards making movies and doing drugs. And finally Tina Fey is a big influence not just for women but for all comedians. She started at Second City, then moved to SNL as a writer, then became head writer, now she has her very own show on NBC which I absolutely adore. She shows the world that overwhelming attractive people on television is a myth and that people will love you for who you are if you get the chance to show them, and because of her, us mildly attractive hilarious people will now get that chance.

I hope to one day be an influencer but I have no idea for what yet, maybe a sweet new dance move like the Bart Man meets the Jitterbug.
