Ethereal (Extended)

HD (High Definition) version available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZw_zQP-5SY

I take no credit for any of the music or artwork in this video. The music and artwork belong to the respective artists. I created this video because I have recurring dreams about "flying" through space. (Flying isn't really the right word. It's more like an out of body experience that transcends physical laws.) The dreams are so vivid and beautiful that I never want to wake up.

I created this video as an attempt to illustrate what I "see" and "hear" in my dreams. Naturally it's impossible to capture the true essence of a dream with this limited medium, but I wanted to try anyway.

I call it "Ethereal" because it seemed like the best word to describe what I was trying to achieve with this video. Here's what the dictionary says for the word Ethereal.

1. light, airy, or tenuous: an ethereal world created through the poetic imagination.
2. extremely delicate or refined: ethereal beauty.
3. heavenly or celestial: gone to his ethereal home.
4. of or pertaining to the upper regions of space.

All of those definitions apply in some way or another, but for my video, the 3rd and 4th definition are most applicable.

Some people may think the video is way too long, but in my opinion, it isn't nearly long enough. I'd like to learn a bit more about audio/video editing and create another version that is much longer.

If you've stumbled onto this video somehow, I hope you enjoy it. If not ... well, I guess that's what the Dislike button is for. Feel free to express yourself as you see fit.
