I think I can safely say that in one way or another the Scanout Team is working more or less 24/7. We are lucky enough to work with the things that we love the most: photography, videography, design, social medias, editing and so on.

Now... Don't get me wrong, - we don't 'work - work' 24/7. We do not take pics., edit or write something all the time, but we work with our creativity 24/7. Inspiration is a major keyword in our business. How are we inspired? What makes the brain start working? The creativity float?

Of course: it varies from person to person. I get my inspiration from watching YouTube & Vimeo. Looking at blogs, Facebook, Twitter & Flicr. Reading books & magazines. Downloading and scrolling through new apps. Talking with people. Sometimes you can read a book, - take a walk and start daydreaming. Suddenly, maybe in the middle of the night, you come to think of something: A cool new project. A new angle. A different view.

You might think: 'That was a general answer'. Yes, it is. Because: Inspiration is all around. Use it!
