I think over again my small adventures,
my fears;
Those small ones that seemed so big.
For all the vital things I had to get and reach.
And yet there is only one great thing.
The only thing.
To live to see that great day that dawns
and the light that fills the world.
Old Inuit song

Like the spider with its web, so every subject weaves relationships between itself and particular properties of objects; the many strands are then woven together and finally form the basis of the subject’s very existence.

Very powerful! Reminds me of the one that was made with Enya's Storms in Africa back in the early 90's. Again a reminder of something so simple (camera phone) can make something so powerful! Thanks for sharing!
That was a amazing, and very touching.
What a wonderful way to communicate such a message. It was interesting to note that the beats when along with the syllables of each word too. Now the question is, did they have the words before the filming or vise versa...
Good question Jay. The music was done just for this film. I did not notice that the beats went with the syllables - good ear! My guess is he had a plethora of cell phone photos and an idea of what he wanted for words. Because some of the shots are phrases from advertisements and businesses so he couldn't have known exactly what he could get - or could he?
Rach, I thought it was powerful too in it's simplicity.
Lisa, touching exactly and gives me pause to pay attention...
