I'm looking for the black wire that you were talking about in the directors commentary but I CANT FIND IT! You are so good! If you're confused, There was wire (floss) that they used to make the wheel unravel and open at the beginning of he film and since it was noticeable they colored it black with a marker to hide it and now you think you are seeing it just unravel when there is a guy pulling a wire (floss again) to make it seem like it's opening. Sorry for the spoiler. its so cool though.
OMG it's so beautiful it makes me wanna cry :')...that's the exact dream I always had!!...sometimes I feel just like that flower (or whatever it is xD)...hope someday I get to see those places as well =)...great vid, great music! awesome, beautiful! I have no words to describe how much I liked this! congrats guys!!!
p.s is that europe? that place in the vid is just so beautiful! I so loved the autumn part...sitting under a tree on an autumn day, leaves falling...omg, one of my biggest dreams!
Watching this video reminds me of the best year of my life, the one when I was en exchange student in Europe, the one when I traveled and explored so many cities, one of my favorites being Firenze. I spent a wonderful week in that gorgeous city and seeing this video and recognising some places almost makes me tear up again.
I made sure to watch it1080 HD then I waited til it was fully loaded that way there was no buffering. It was worth it. It was so beautiful and magical. I loved it, Wong Fu For Life <3
simply placing a tiny windmill and good music can really make a person feel i donno hopeful? u just hav to kno how to use ur surroundings etc to film a great peice like this. thx wes =]
@jungal3x1999 yeah, that's the best thing about this video...it makes you feel really inspired to achieve your goals!!!...thanks wongfu for this amazing vid!! =D
@WammiJammi this is what an other youtuber said when i didnt understand it; "Dare to explore a world that is bigger than you know. There are a lot of reasons to not do something or not feel something. Those boundaries and walls are put up by ourselves. Once we're able to step outside of them, we can truly realize the endless possibilities the world has to offer."
@candysun54 ohhh! thank you! :) now i undertsand, and i can make a "bigger me" out of my small little self.. because im the one who makes my own walls. :)
one of the most symbolic things i have ever seen, I am so glad I watched this. Now i have a new perspective of everything and a new way to thing. I am thankful for everything in my life and am not going to take it for granted. Thanks again for making such a simple, beautiful video.
@candysun54 Wait, actually "Dare to explore a world that is bigger than you know. There are a lot of reasons to not do something or not feel something. Those boundaries and walls are put up by ourselves. Once we're able to step outside of them, we can truly realize the endless possibilities the world has to offer."
This is one of my favorites, so I have watched it a lot and had different emotions. But this time it made me feel homesick and made me really miss my husband who is overseas. Recently I took a trip to visit him in Europe and loved it; I sort of felt like that's where I was meant to be. Maybe its because I have always wanted to go to Italy, or the fact this is shot in Europe and I want so bad to live and travel there. But I definitely feel homesick.
Beautiful. You really showed that a picture is worth a thousands words. With each different setting, anyone can just imagine the thouands of stories that are secretly told in just one scene. This is truely spectacular! Don't stop making short films like these, everyone in the world can use a little thinking to remember there is more to life than just them.
I can recognize Milano when you filmed the carousel, and maybe Pisa, but I'm not sure because Firenze has a similar Lungarno. Come in Italy again and visita my town, Torino.
I love the music for this video!!!! It actually makes me think about my time in Italy at the end of my senior year......makes me cry a little bit XD!!!
it's very heart warming and inspiring. I just keep smiling while watching this

They should definitely use this video in those Future Shops or Best Buys
Where they show off their big screen TV's.
Just think about it, how amazing it will be to see that
And how people will be inspired by this.
