OMG! I have been looking for this commercial ever since I saw it on the Discovery Channel back in 08! Thank you so much for posting this! Such a beautiful commercial and beautiful music!!!! I love the picture at 0:17 it's really unique. But overall this commercial is very inspirational and true....

One of my favorite commercials for the music.

Do you happen to know the camera used and the photo editing program to edit it? I've been searching all over, but the only answer I've come across is "Cinema SLR?" Is this used for the commercial?

Thank-you Dow for making such a cool, none annoying commercial. I actually am pleased when this commercial comes on. It's inspired me to apply myself more in my high school chemistry class. Thanks!

The music to this commercial has inspired me to start my channel, Beautiful Music Group. I am a composer for television and film myself, and I feel that music creation has been steered away from sheer beauty. If you enjoyed the music here as much as I did, please join my channel.

Sweet I was looking for this.  Anyone know the composer or title of the music?

[kininc]

I just love this commercial.

I love "corporate image advertising", usually placed during the Sunday morning news talk shows. I especially spots like this one that are abstract, metaphorical, cerebral, and have an air of mystery about them.

Of course, the real mystery about corporate image advertising is what exactly the ad wants me, the consumer, to do (e.g., when Boeing advertises, does it want me to go out and buy a 747?). But nonetheless the spots are enjoyable and I wish more companies would make them.

amazing

i love dow's advertisments

they give me goose bumps

this is up there with discovery channels commercial "i love the whole world"

they make us see our planet in a different light.

gives me positive thoughts about the future. i hope the viewers of this try to change their actions to help minimize the environment disasters of the world (climate change, depletion of natural resources, specie extinction etc.)

This advertising campaign is very well done. Beautiful pictures, compelling words, soothing music...

But is it enough to cover up the past?

[Darkwolfy88]

so inspiring, most useful commercial out there!

Could you provide the sheet music to this video?

[DowChemicalCompany]

The music to this commercial is a piece of stock music called "The Ascent". Unfortunately we do not have the name of the composer or the sheet music.

[zenemano]

But now I have found ;) Yessssssssssssss

[truthspeaks84]

One of the most underrated commercials on TV.

I never thought a chemical company could provide an inspirational "element" to chemistry, and I'm a chemistry major, lol.

The music combined with the photographic video scenes combined with the beautiful words of the narrator makes this commercial a work of art. Please don't stop airing this commercial!!!
