Victory requires continued perseverance, and sometimes it involves getting knocked down, experiencing upsets and then getting back up. The determination to win often involves trial and error, correcting our path, then pressing in...again. Motivational videos like this one for Prairie Milk Marketing Partnership demonstrate that determination pays off!
The following paragraph is quoted from ShootOnline:
"A girl takes a swig of milk from a carton, and embarks on a mountain biking run only to fall shortly after she gets started. Continuous action, though, has her up in a second as she takes on a skateboarding challenge, only to take yet another tumble. Back on her feet instantly, we next see her on a soccer field, taking yet another header. Finally she jumps feet first into a pommel horse run. She executes it without a hitch, sticking a perfect landing."
Mark Zibert of Sons and Daughters, Toronto, directed this spot. The ad agency is Dare Vancouver.

This is one of those short motivational videos that make you think about how you can achieve just about anything you put your mind to, using the example of an athlete who has fought hard and has overcome incredible challenges in the Paralympics.
The following is quoted from Shoot Magazine Online, from their article "The Best Work you May Never See" U.S. Paralympics' "Words - Own Your Life".
We open on U.S. Navy reservist Mike Johnston stepping out on the track, warming up and preparing for his evening training session. He takes a breath and adjusts his foot into the starter block. He turns his gaze up in determination and begins his sprint with the utmost focus.
We then see that Johnston is no ordinary athlete as we cut to a shot of his amputated leg supported by the word "Passion" in place of where his prosthetic leg normally exists. We see him careen forward at full speed, treading evenly on both real and false limb alike as we see his leg morph to read, "Power." The shot of his moving legs slows along with the super, "Strength," which suddenly shatters, revealing his real-life prosthetic leg.
Johnston moves out of the screen as we see the super, "Own your life, " along with the voiceover, "You already have everything it takes to own your life." The spot closes with the USA Paralympics and Department of Veteran Affairs logos followed by the super, "Find your sport. USParalympics.org."
"Words--Own Your Life" was directed by Luc Schurgers of Green Dot Films for agency Ignited. Editor was Doobie White of Therapy.

Laura Goodrich, in one of her motivational videos "Seeing Red Cars" challenges viewers with this statement: "We get more of whatever we focus on." Whether good or bad! For a sales force, for individuals, and for entire organizations, this message really makes sense! In her coaching, Goodrich asks her clients, "What do you want?" And most people respond with what they don't want!
Goodrich uses many great analogies, beginning with a common experience in the 3rd grade - waiting our turn to read out loud in front of our peers. She follows with a similar experience with colleagues in the conference room.
Goodrich offers 3 steps for getting started:
1) Make a commitment2) Monitor yourself3) Practice
Then Goodrich concludes with an amazing story about Cliff Young, a 61 year old farmer who ran a marathon, shuffling! I'll let Laura, in her video, tell you the story and the results...it's surprising!
We get more of what we focus on. Focus on the things you can control, rather than on what you can't!

No actors were used in this motivational video for Weight Watchers...and the camera work is tremendous...various lighting scenarios from indoors to outdoors, underwater, moving down the street while recording...all with people who have benefitted from the program!
I admire that these are real people, not actors. I also admire the creativity in putting together not only a song that sells on iTunes, but a video that people are sharing socially; all of which is a celebration by the women featured in this film! As it moves from scene to scene, it just keeps getting better and better!

Incredible animation, special effects and sound fx on this motivational video for DirecTV's ad "Hot House".
The following is from Shoot Magazines "The Best Work of the Year" article. This spot was directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks.
"You can practically feel the heat blasting from the TV screen when you watch "Hot House." We first see a man lying in bed and calmly watching his bedroom fill with flames. It turns out what he's viewing is a dramatic film sequence on DirecTV that later has a fireman falling through the floor and rescuing a little boy. Indeed the original man's viewing experience is so intense that it looks and feels as though the scenes are literally playing out within the walls of his home as he moves from room to room.
Created by Grey New York and directed by MPC LA and animation from Buck NY, the spectacularly cinematic "Hot House" is part of a series of spots that promote DirecTV's multi-room viewing feature by depicting people watching films, pressing pause to freeze the action, then moving to other TV-equipped rooms to continue the flicks."
