    I love the concept of this video- How our physical memories can be triggered by positions, movements, smells, sensations- transporting us back to the moment of origin. Our bodies have their own memory- not just our brains! We often forget that!

    nice work phillip, you have done well with the 5dmkII, I still find so many limitations with this camera for video (but love the quality), think I might have been better going for the 7d....I too agree with scientific gentlemen, great concept and can really relate to that and often do with flashbacks....keep up the great work

  • when a child finds a game or a joke he especially enjoys,
    he says, ‘do it again, do it again,’

    and the grown up person does it again and again
    until he is nearly dead.
    That is because grown up people are not strong enough to exalt in monotony.

    Perhaps. Perhaps our God is strong enough to exalt in monotony.

    And perhaps He says every morning to the sun, ‘do it again’
    and every evening to the moon, ‘do it again’.

    It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike.
    It could be that our God makes each one of them separately.

    And he’s never gotten tired of making them.

    You see, He has the eternal appetite of infancy

    for we have sinned and grown old
    but our father,
    our father is younger than we.

    He sent his only Son, the happy God man, who puts modern man to shame for all his gloom and hopelessness.

    You see, modern man drinks and shouts across the tavern of time, eat,
    drink
    and be merry
    for tomorrow you die.

    This is not the clarion call to joy.

    This is rather the voice of doom,
    chiding the almost dead rats on the sinking ship.
    He is no more a merrymaker than he is a saint.

    Why the early church, the early church, was founded on a serious, joy of being alive.

    Jesus Christ made wine, not a medicine, but a sacrament.
    Modern man makes wine not a sacrament but a medicine.

    He drinks because he is not glad.
    He revels because he is not joyful.

    Drink he says, for
    you know not where you come from nor why.

    Drink, for you know not when you go nor where.

    Drink for the stars are cruel and
    the earth is futile as a spinning top.

    Drink, because there is nothing worth trusting,
    nothing worth fighting for.

    And so he stands offering us the cup in his hand.

    But at the high altar of Christianity stands another figure
    in whose hand is also a cup.

    Drink, he says,

    for the whole world is as red as this wine
    with the crimson love and wrath of God.

    Drink for the trumpets are blowing for battle
    and this is the stirup cup.

    Drink, for his is the blood of the new covenant.

    Drink, for I know of where you come from and why.

    Drink, for I know of when you
    go and where.

    Great visual extension of the song. I love the transition cuts between adults and kids, emphasizing the numbness of the adults.

    Absolutely beautifully made, both in spirit and in production value. Outstanding work. How on earth did you process the footage to achieve that look? The reason I ask is because I could've sworn this was shot on RED.
