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.

Emily Choo started as an intern with Autostraddle when she was 18 years old. She's now 10 years older and lives in Toronto with her partner and cat. The defining moment of her career was when Riese said this about her: " I think Emily Choo is a very bright, 'poetically inclined' girl who pays attention to everything and knows almost everything (the point of stuff, how to read, how beautiful things feel, how scary things feel, etc.) but doesn't believe/accept/realize yet that she knows almost everything." She still doesn't believe she knows anything, so, thank you, Riese, for that.
i knew this sounded kinda familiar! It was a pretty great video.

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.
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.
At 0:35 I thought it was about to turn into Angry 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.
I want this to be my wallpaper.
That was cool. The song reminded me of the one from Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOfXM7gFXso

that was super cool
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.
ohmygod THIS is the most amazing thing ever, i can’t even believe it. it’s like she moves her hands and perfectly drawn shapes appear.
exactly
this is so incredible
That was amazing

Very impressive.
That was really cool.
As someone who can’t read sheet music, the visual doesn’t impress me so much as the music. Lovely song.
People are so amazing sometimes. WTF.

This is pretty great. I love the buildings. :D
Iiii just shared this with everyone I know. Ridiculous. In a good way.
