It's a good question. Obviously a lot of the big names out there have massive influence: Ford, Hitchcock, Welles, Spielberg, Lucas, ect. I could go on for a while.

What influences me more than anything though is actually the stuff I see from other people on this site. I check out pretty much every screen grab or video clip and that has more influence on my idea of style, composition, lighting, sound, and camera movement than anything I see on the big screen. I guess my mind says: if this guy can do it, why can't I? It is more influential to me than anything else.

For me there are less than 5 people on this site that motivate me or impress me; the rest is ****

Even from the ****, which I consider myself part of, I learn a lot. That influences and motivates me. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

I agree, the crappy stuff isn't motivational or impressive, but I learn what not to do by watching it.
