Even though I'm currently living down under in Sydney I always find time to check out my favourite newspaper via the Web - The New York Times.  I recently continued the tradition of "learning something everyday" when I read a recent Q&A with the top "vidder."  What's a vidder you ask? The quick and easy description: Vids are fan-made music videos. These guys and gals take scenes from their favourite TV shows or movies and mash on top a music track. 

Some people are obviously very upset about the creative license that vidders are having with the content, but the vidders of course simply say they are honoring the vision of both film/video and music by creating a whole new  look at both when mashed together. I think they are amazing people with genius minds that can think of what can be mixed and mashed to create short minutes of pure entertainment and fun. 

Check out below what has been named the best consumer-made video this year.  This should be filed in your "inspiration" folders for future reference.
