mnfaure: building a ship of dreams
- Jun. 17th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
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.

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

* 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!*
Well, yes, of course.
Also, coolest boat ever. It reminds me of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, never mind it's much smaller.
---L.
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...
Maybe that's part of what I love about it (though the images are wonderful all in their own right, for sure.)
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!)
