{ LIVE Earth Video @ Absolut.com. }



I was nearly in tears when watching this video...The Wind by Chel White, he cleverly makes use of the background music with fascinating visual to provoke the souls of the viewers.

Set to a poem by Antonio Machado and narrated by Alec Baldwin, visual effects master Chel White uses time lapse photography to simultaneously display the majesty of nature and the destruction of humanity'€™s footprint. This hauntingly beautiful film shows what we stand to lose if we continue to put the environment second to progress, but also shows that it is possible to put technological progress hand in hand with environmental preservation.

On a whole, i watched this video about 8 times, and every time i watch it, it stirred up my emotions. Very depressed after watching..... Incredibly done up, impactful visuals fixed perfectly with the song and the poem. Wonderful video by Chel White!


The Wind,
One Brilliant Day

by Antonio Machado

The wind, one brilliant day, called
to my soul with an odor of jasmine.

"In return for the odor of my jasmine,
I'd like all the odor of your roses."

"I have no roses; all the flowers in my garden are dead."

"Well then, I'll take the withered petals
and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain."

the wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself: "What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?"
