EmailToday's video of the day comes to us from the people over at Great Big Story. This one is about the man who created the Seinfeld theme, and recreated it every week. The people over at Great Big Story make great short documentaries about interesting characters. This is a great example of the kind of work you can do.

Here’s how he created a theme song about nothing, that changed every show.
