Topic: Brickfilming Discussion Week 8: Be Inspired
Welcome to the Weekly Bricks in Motion Filmmaking & Brickfilming Discussion thread!
These threads are designed to inspire discussion, debate and discourse on the topics of filmmaking, brickfilming, storytelling and LEGO. Each week I will start a new thread with a new discussion topic. Everyone is welcome to contribute as long as you have something thoughtful to say. Paragraphs are encouraged! If you are going to participate in this thread, please keep the discussion civil and refrain from pointless jokes, image macros, or “memes.”
Please stay on topic and keep your comments civil and respectful of other members.
Feel free to continue to contribute to the previous discussion threads as well. Just because they are older doesn't mean they aren't relevant any more!

This week’s discussion topic:
Besides brickfilms and LEGO, what influences and inspires your creativity?
We all have our favorite brickfilm or LEGO set or minifigure, and these all probably influence and shape our brickfilming projects. But beyond these immediate influences, what else inspires you? Do other types of films (live-action, foreign, Hollywood, indie) inspire you? Do you draw inspiration from anime or manga or graphic novels or comics? What about television, music, architecture, art, sculpture, food, literature or games?
