Great Short Animation, Video etc. on the Web

adastra said Nov 12, 2006, 8:47 AM:

 

This thread will be for posting links to great short video of whatever kind on the web.  Please, let's keep this one on-topic.

Here's one I just discovered on YouTube - a really cool time-lapse video of the Aurora Borealis filmed in northern British Columbia:

Here is an interesting flash(back) animation sequence which I find very evocative of…well, just watch it, OK?  Hmm [^o)]

Flashback

OK, I'm not going to lie to you: it's very evocative of psychedelic journeys, or so I've been told.  Confused [*-)]  It was done by Danny Gomez.

“All Is Full of Love”

you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you

all is full of love
you just aint receiving
all is full of love

The video clip is obviously produced by people who think these Pentecostals are nuts.  And they might be!  But I'm interested in hearing an Integrally informed response to this.  How would you describe it?  What's going on, in your opinion?

From the latest issue of What is Enlightenment? magazine (#35, January-March 2007).

LOOKING BACK FROM TOMORROW AT THE CHOICES OF TODAY

How did independants John McCain and Barak Obama galvanize the electorate and stun the nation in the 2008 presidential election?  When did McDonald's shift half its business to the new McFuel service stations, which pump out biodiesel made from used fryer oil?  To find out, check out Climate: A Crisis Averted at renewus.org, a clever short film that looks back from the year 2056 at how millions of concerned citizens joined together in 2006 to “make climate change history” by stimulating demand for clean, renewable energy.  Created by RenewUS, a climate change campaign launched by organic yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm and several environmental organizations, the film suggests that imagining the future we want to live in is the first step toward creating it.  “We have no interest in doom and gloom reporting and hand-wringing,” the coalition attests.  By picturing a future scenario in which dramatic change has already occurred, it invokes just the sort of optimistic spirit that gets things done today.

This is some crazy shit…but we're all pretty complacent about it most of the time.

Last week, the watchdog Project on Government Oversight reported that workers at a Texan nuclear-weapons plant had almost accidentally detonated a W56 warhead in the spring of 2005. A W56 has 100 times the Hiroshima bomb's yield.”

Although I have to say, there's an awesome, terrible beauty in a nuclear detonation.  Still…the big-brained monkeys on Sol III are being pretty reckless with these toys.

Egads, that Integral Anthems thread has had me cruising You Tube these past few days, looking up old songs, new songs, what have you … and I got this idea of starting a new thread of songs / videos / cartoons in which we could dedicate specific pieces to certain individuals or groups for whatever reason or for no reason at all … but then figured this already-existing thread could serve that purpose.

So ladies and gentlemen, I have several dedications I'd like to send out this evening … and somehow I've gotten into a playful 80s vibe this particular March night so you folks will just have to bear with me …

First, for Jane, who celebrated her birthday more than a month ago – in HAWAII, poor thing, here is a very belated but quite heartfelt video dedication courtesy of Altered Images … may we feast and dance to fluffy groovy songs face-to-face before long.

For Tam-Liz and Arthur, and all yearning lovers separated by geographical distance: may your travels be blessed by the spirit of this profound and inspiring Bow Wow Wow classic: Baby Oh No.

For Balder: I was grounded, while you flew the skies … Here's Mike Scott playing The Whole of the Moon for an audience of schoolchildren in Ireland in 1987.

For Pelle: Whose ILP included tangoing for an hour and a half yesterday! A little tango treat for our blossoming Integral Tango Healer. 

More later …

Well, Mary, it's your fault.  I set myself up on a high horse, blogging about constructive interfaith dialogue, and then I stumble across this little video of yours.  I couldn't help myself.  I promptly posted it to one of the fundie forums I visit from time to time.  And now a skirmish has broken out!  Charges of blasphemy are flying!  People are commenting:  “What do you expect from a Buddhist?”

I'm standing back and enjoying the fight I … we started…  :D

This is so unbelievably beautiful; a representation of the divine feminine, to be sure.

I don't get it, what's the connection. I'm a vegetarian. Helen, however, has a tendency to self reply a dozen or so times.

Rick you’re making no sense. Where is Arthur “self-replying” a dozen or even half a dozen times?

As a moderator of the pod, he takes it upon himself to post things that might interest people. It’s hardly anything like what you’re talking about. What’s the real reason you’ve got a bug up your ass?

Oh, I'm projecting because I miss our lively banter Liz…
You have to admit that it is rather Helenesk to post 12 posts in a row with no other reply. It was a joke.

I’m sorry, Rick, but you just have to let go of that…it could never be between us…

A pithy quote from the initial post:

This thread will be for posting links to great short video of whatever kind on the web.  Please, let's keep this one on-topic.

Just go with it, don't fight it, it'll only hurt if you fight it, just let it happen….

And Author, keeping with the spirit of loop-holes; here's a clip.

It would be good to get a discussion going about food production, policy, and especially our ILP with regard to food, and the subtle aspects as well as the gross. I, fer one, was disappointed to discover that integral doesn't seem to apply in most lives when it comes to what we eat. (And remember the great “What did you eat today” or some such thread over at the multiplex? It'd be fun to do that again.)

Suggestions for the best board to kick that off on? (And where I will re-post this video)

A while ago I tried to start a thread about that, because what we eat and how we get and produce it is integral to everything else that we do is such a direct way.
I wanted to start off talking about the trend for Consumer Supported Agriculture or CSA's.
I wanted to know if anyone was taking part in a local program, but no one responded, so I assume the answer is no.
What does this have to do with multimedia?

Here's a clip about the nature of God. KW and Rabbi Mark didn't really answer this for me in their talk abou it on IN. It sounds good to say to just hold the paradox, but that's cop out to me.
A paradox is created when two things can't be true at the same time, and therefore one of them is not true.
To make the clip work you havet to copy and paste the whole thing, not just click the link.
