This Video Is Probably The Greatest Thing Ever Made

Emily's Team Pick:

I was on tumblr, you know, as one might be, when I stumbled across this video:

I almost didn't watch it, but I'm a sucker for hand-drawn birds. Turns out, this is the best video I have seen in a really long time, maybe ever. Mind = blown.

I love this video. I’ve got it saved and I watch it whenever I have a lot of feelings and want to watch someone draw pretty birds.

It strangely reminds me of this new and celebrated Volkswagen ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CJDyyuFvCg

…though I definitely perfer the message of the video you posted!

Quite daring of Volkswagen to answer in that manner to a recent scolding from Greenpeace.

That was cool. The song reminded me of the one from Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOfXM7gFXso

Same old idea, brand new concept, incredibly brilliant presentation. Makes me wonder how many tress they killed for all that paper…but as they say, a little evil for the greater good.

  Since a standard tree makes about 1,000~2,000 pounds / ~8,000 sheets of paper… not even one tree.

That was beautiful! The art/music/message combo kind of reminds me of this sand artist telling the story of a Russian woman who loses her husband during WWII.

As someone who can’t read sheet music, the visual doesn’t impress me so much as the music. Lovely song.
