Can You Evolve?
Awesome stop motion video.
This sequence still holds up 40 years later
This is so beautifully executed.
Pete Seeger died today at the age of 94. Though he lived a long and full life, I am sad to see him go. We lose a man with vision and the courage to put aside individual interests to work for justice. Thanks Pete, for making the world a better place.
A new web released documentary series by Kirby Ferguson.
If you enjoyed his series Everything Is a Remix, as I did, consider supporting this new project.
I wish him luck and am looking forward to new installments.
Laura Marling – Rambling Man from Pulse Films on Vimeo.
I’m sitting in my office at the end of the day enjoying Laura Marling’s I Speak Because I Can. Have a listen if you are not familiar with her work. I love both her soulful voice and her songwriting.
The wonder of animation. There is both old and new in this beautiful short. Enjoy.
The Violence of Mexican Drug Cartels from visually on Vimeo.
This is nicely executed (sorry for the pun) and thought provoking.
As a devotee of the art of storytelling I am a big fan of Joseph Campbell’s work in comparative mythology. He had a gift for revealing the fundamental elements common in stories across cultures and exploring how they can (and do) work in our daily lives.
I recently came across this blog by James Baquet which provides a solid overview of Campbell’s major themes. If you are unfamiliar with Campbell’s work this is a perfect place to start the journey.
As wonderful as Campbell’s writing is, (The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Myths to Live By , etc…) listening to him share his passion and insight in conversation is where I find him most inspiring. If you’ve never seen/heard The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers I strongly urge you to do so. The Wisdom of Joseph Campbell with Michael Toms is not as well known but is also worth hearing.
