[video link]. From Friends With You, the short film "Cloudy", described as an art piece "with the purpose to transcend its viewers to a relaxed and joyous state."

This short is an exploration into the Clouds. The idea of clouds singing and performing their duties in a joyful manner show us that everything in our world has a role and a purpose. A sweet visual soundscape that takes the viewer through a personal journey into the sky. Sing, dance and relax as you follow a sweet cast of clouds and raindrops through an entrancing adventure you'll wish to take over and over again.

(Thanks, Tim Shey)

    It’s not an ad for Zoloft?

     I kept expecting some terribly tragic end… But that said, a nice satisfying splash would have been a good kicker.

    This needs to be reposted during the next hurricane. It’ll totally calm down anyone in the hurricane’s path.

    I saw this the other night on the big screen at a short film gathering at Hammer museum in LA. It was awesome! There were many other great films too.
