Energy by Gary Hesketh

"Out of the cradle onto dry land here it is
standing:
atoms with consciousness;
matter with curiosity.
Stands at the sea,
wonders at wondering: I
a universe of atoms
an atom in the universe."

Richard Feynman

An ode to... well, everything. :o)

There are a few billion verses missing. I apologize.
:o)
A massive thank you to -
Paul Edwards http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSoulOfMisterE and
Jesi Kinnevan http://www.youtube.com/user/JesiErin
for singing backing on this. You both added so much. I also have to thank the wonderful Cameron and Shannon (Paul's little ones) for giggling and laughing perfectly at the end. It was exactly right.
:o)

Energy

Energy space the stars the light the heat the colour the planets the air the clouds the ice the snow the rain the rock the dirt the water the sand the plants the fish the scales the feathers the hair the sound the sight the smell the smile the laugh the cough the bite the yell the tear the taste the pain the sweat the embrace the skin the veins the blood the bleeding the muscles the bone the nerves thought fear hope love the brain the neurons the cells the atoms the protons the electrons the quasiparticles...

Great song, brilliant video. The song reminds me of Christmas for some reason - perhaps because it's that time of year, I don't know.

@noulteriormotive Thank you very much... I wrote it at Christmas time actually, Maybe a festive vibe sneaked its way in.

@231nDub1tableParad0x Thank you so much for the great comment. Hurricanes rock pretty hard! It was nice to get a couple of other people on board for this one - Jesi and Paul are very talented and their voices really added something special. Go check out their channels if you get a mo (links in the description). Thanks again. Have a lovely weekend.

Just stopping back for some second helpings of this fantastic video!

@EricPinaIAmGod Hey thanks for the kind words. I'm afraid the answer would be HUGE so I'll list software for now. If you have a specific question about the audio or video fire away. I modelled, textured, rigged, animated and rendered all the 3D stuff in Maya, I composited the layers, did the 2D animation/colour correction in After Effects, I used Particle Illusion for the particle effects, I created the textures in Photoshop, and I and recorded the music in Audition.Hope that helps. :o)

My favorite part is the man on the computer just creating while the world falls apart no matter how you look at it, energy is the response and creation of all, I love this video because it captures existence, I love the way the music fits the motions and the colors that were used, this is crazy, I love your other videos as well, I just have to know if you create the music or video, maybe both, I'm a visionary and I can appreciate art of this magnitude!

[EricPinaIAmGod]

How did you create this?
