Kseniya Simonova beautiful sand animator

Kseniya Simonova (born 1985) is a sand animator from Ukraine. She was the 2009 Winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent , constructing an animation that portrayed life during USSR’s Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II.

A YouTube video of the performance has received more than two million hits. Sure in some ways a little bit cheezy but nevertheless an amazing piece of art.

Cityclouds has a youtube channel!

I decided to put up a youtube channel for the blog. With all the good music to be found on youtube its about time to gather some pearls in some playlists. I look for tunes on myspace and youtube on a daily basis and love to be able to listen to most of the stuff i like.  On the channel i will be featuring a very eclectic selection of tunes, updated almost daily.

Feel free to subscribe to the channel or to be our friend on youtube. I´m looking forward to some suggestions for the channel.
Don´t forget to support the Artists and to buy the tunes if you like them!

HOME – A Documentary about us

Hey guys this is huge!

Pressured by many friend requests (yes i knew i shouldn’t do this), yesterday i  finally signed up to facebook and there i stumbled upon the fantastic Documentary “Home”  (thx S. for posting it) which was released on 5th June – the international day of environment.  A couple of days before I’ve read a article about this film, now its finally online at Youtube. The well known french photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and director Luc Besson (Le grand bleu/The Fifth Element) made this possible and i think they did a great job.

Don’t misunderstand me when i say this film is like an orgasm for your eyes. But also in the same time a slap to the ears when u listen carefully. Amazing tracking shots and pans of landscapes on the one side and sadly facts about the strange way of evolution by the Homo-sapiens on the other side.

In the past it was and and in the future it will always be a question of  balance. One question of life – the balance of good and evil, the balance of power and depression between poor and rich. A question that can´t be answered by humans.
We need more films like this one. Media should go back to the roots, back to being based on democratic enlightenment and not on manipulation.  Again and again we must remind us how precious this world is! Everyone who is wealthy and able to do so!

This short teaser shows u some pictures from the movie. Watch it in full length (1h33min) and HD resolution on Youtube.

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

On Googlemaps u can get some more information about the spots witch are shown in the film.

Happy about your feedback
