Awesome Video thread

[sunrat]

Inspired by Acadia's Sweden video, I thought it may be a good idea to have a thread where we can post beautiful or inspirational videos.

 

I'll start, here's an amazing tilt/shift view of some beautiful places. Watch full screen in HD!

<Edit - Added criteria for this thread>:

Note: my criteria for posting videos in this thread, at least 3 of these:

- Superb production values

- Makes my jaw drop and say "Wow!"

- Brings a tear to my eyes

- Just plain inspiring

- Makes me want to watch it again

Great idea! Makes me wish for better true wired broadband instead of paying through the nose for 14GB per month on Verizon Wireless. LOL!

Isn't vimeo a pay site?

Vimeo is free but, like YouTube, it may only be available in certain countries.

Please remember that this is for 'awesome' videos of the nature of the first video.

 

If your video doesn't fit with that, please remove it and only post videos that are uplifting like the first one...a truly awesome video.

 

Thanks for your help in keeping this on topic.

If Vimeo gives you trouble (which it does load very slowly for me sometimes), here is a link to Little Big World YouToob channel:- http://www.youtube.c...p&shelf_index=0

 

The 3 clips included in my first link are

 

 

 

I didn't embed them in the post as you can't watch in full HD that way.

[Guest LilBambi]

Thanks for the Youtube links too sunrat!

I've watched this one many times and it always makes me a little bit teary. It is a music video but the filmwork and story are just beautiful, and I like the song. Plus some of the shots are excellent multicopter shots using a Canon 5D. Great music, video and helis all in one; life is good!

Once again I post links so you can watch in full HD, embedded doesn't do it justice. I think Vimeo quality is a bit better.

very creative dance.

one wishes such happened in real life (last vid) but tear jerker anyway.

It definitely does happen, just usually in smaller, less dramatic incidences.

 

BTW, re your last post, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a great movie. We have it here on DVD. Recommended.

Agreed!

 

Not for the faint of heart, but the book is even more so. But they are both excellent. The book is much better than the movies as they always are. Read them all! Saw them all ... enjoyed them all.

School of Rock students playing "46 and 2" by Tool. As one of the comments says

My faith in today's youth has been reinstilled!

I saw that one a while ago, Rolana. Very nice performance.

[Guest LilBambi]

If at all possible, could folks give the title of the video, what it's about, and if at all possible, the length of the video.

Seconded.

In one of the most remarkable things we have ever seen, sand animation artist Kseniya Simonova takes us on a heart breaking journey of a young couple getting separated during World War II. This performance brought the audience to tears and won Kseniya the title of "Ukraine's Got Talent". Exquisite.

If it helps whilst watching think of the 40 million or so civilians killed in Europe in WW2.

Resurrecting this old thread, this video is very moving.
