A Little Alchemy for Your Friday Afternoon

Looking for a bit of calm at the end of a stressful week? I’ve got just the ticket.

Thanks to Vimeo’s Staff Picks (and crainium.net), here’s a wonderful clip from Evosia Studios’ Henry Jun Wah Lee, videographer and creative mind behind some of my favorite time-lapse nature videos. As usual, full-screen HD is borderline imperative. (The Utah winter shots are particularly stunning.)

Alchemy is a short film about transformation. In nature, everything is constantly changing: the earth, the sky, the stars, and all living things. Spring is followed by summer, fall and winter. Water turns into clouds, rain and ice. Over time, rivers are created, canyons carved, and mountains formed. All of these elements, mixed together, create the magic of nature’s alchemy.
