from mnfaure: building a ship of dreams

[asakiyume]

in which to seek your fortune

Watch on YouTube

Every single moment of that video is poetry and story:



map your future in your dreams:



Add feathers, so your hopes will soar:





Prepare your net ...



... to catch the sky itself



You may have moments of doubt



... but do not be afraid. The wide world awaits.

Every single moment of that video is poetry and story, from the silver-black dawn

The excerpts you've taken also make it look kind of like the video for Patricia McKillip's The Changeling Sea (1988).

I think I'll have to read The Changeling Sea.

(Still editing and playing around with the entry... I ended up having to take out "from the silver-black dawn" when I realized that that scene was actually the deeper twilight, the sun already set, rather than the first light of day.)

I would like to frame practically every moment of that film.

*love!*

so glad!!

Haven't watched the video yet (out the door in a few moments), but just the stills are amazing...

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Everything about it makes me want to discover and share the story--the stories--I sense here.

::hugs:: now you two are in it together.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

And you too!

[zyzyly.livejournal.com]

beautiful!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I keep watching it again and again.

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous pictures!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Aren't they? They go right to my heart.

Add feathers so your hopes will soar...*

Those stills do such a good job of capturing the magic.

* I could just kick myself! Today on the road along the beachfront, I saw a tan and black barred feather and thought of you and this video. I looked at it and considered picking up so I could share it with you through a photo, but I was too lazy to park my bike and fetch it. *kicks, kicks, kicks self!*

Sometimes magic has to just slip through our fingers.

[seajules]

Water is deeper than anything...

Well, yes, of course.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Hah! True.

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

I want to fall asleep on a map. Who knows where I might end up?

Also, coolest boat ever. It reminds me of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, never mind it's much smaller.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Yes, the whole thing is very Dawn Treader esque.

[behindpyramids.livejournal.com]

thank you.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

That was my feeling too ♥

The video reminds me of some of Sigur Ros's.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually seen any Sigur Ros videos... I think the only song of theirs that I know is theirs is that famous one, Sæglópur.

[selidor]

Ooh, it sings in imagery. (I watched with the sound off).
Though oddly, I am also now thinking of the legend of the patupaiarehe who were the only ones who could make nets. The culture-hero watched them on the seashore at their night fishing, and due to his unusual red hair and lighter colouring, like to theirs, he was able to join in their pulling-ashore of the nets; by delaying the untangling with careful incompetence, he was able to keep back a net when they had to leave at dawn. Something about the combination of nets, feathers, hair, sand and wistful boats here in these images...

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

What a wonderful story, and *yes*, it fits completely with these images.

[avalonestel.livejournal.com]

Ugh, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I loved every moment of it, I loved the song. The first thing I thought was "Pen Pal"! :D

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

The first thing I thought was "Pen Pal"! :D

Maybe that's part of what I love about it (though the images are wonderful all in their own right, for sure.)

[deponti.livejournal.com]

The most beautiful dream catcher post I have seen!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

So glad!

[lady-schrapnell.livejournal.com]

This is magical indeed - and I'm going to buy it as a birthday present for myself. Thank you!

It's kind of redundant now, but I was just talking with the girls about the Megan Whalen Turner comm's call for people's top 5 YA books. Becca got hers out in no time flat, and The Changeling Sea was there not only because she loved it for itself, but also for how it had influenced her own writing style. I can see you loving it too, very easily. (That's a compliment, of course!)

Changeling Sea

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

It's extremely high on my to-read list.
