Aya

I was in a funk today, stressed out over how much work this semester will entail, then I came home and saw this and feel better.



About Aya:

(Go to www.illuminated.com for a full screen high quality version of this video )
~ Illuminated is a new animated film/series being created by the people behind GNN (Guerrilla News Network), Phong.com (Eminem's "Mosh" video), Pod Collective, Broken Saints, and ConceptArt.org.

The story takes place in a not-too-distant future, where planet Earth is being ravaged by rampant environmental change and collapsing economies, and widespread social movements triggered by online interaction are reshaping the face of world politics.

Saturated by media, people have lost their ability to dream, and plug into a sophisticated communication system every night called the DreamField, which gives them access to a virtual dream-state that is networked with the rest of the world.

Online, dreams have become just another kind of media, and a group of dream-stars have emerged as the culture's new celebrities.

Aya is one such dream-star, and millions tune into her dreams every night to see where she will take them...

The film/series charts Aya's coming of age, as she travels with her dreadlocked guru, Shen, on a transformational journey to visit the most spiritually charged places on Earth and reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the planet...
