Description
Hello everyone! :-)
I hope every one is doing fine and in good health!
I want to thank you for all your great comments you have left me!
I appreciate every single one of them!
I am almost done with "The Alien Collector" animation and will be uploading
it soon! (the rendering and test renders is taking me awhile)
Lets pause for a moment...sometimes its necessary to take a reality check
into the world we live in. Specially, in these difficult times.
I choose not to put a sound track on this video and instead left it raw. With
all its flaws as they existed at that moment in time.
I took this video in Ocean Beach, located in San Diego, California. I am
fortunate to live about 10 minutes away from this beach. As I waited for the
seagull to fly away...In a whimsical kind of way, I wondered what the sea gull
was thinking, as he stood there by the sea.
He had total freedom to fly away, but yet he just stood there. Not long ago we all
had a certain level of freedom to come and go, but now life has gotten a lot more
complicated for many of us.
Lets ask ourselves: Just for fun! :-)
1. What do you think this bird was thinking?
(Be as creative as you want to be! Think like a bird and let your spirit soar!)
2. Would you want the life of a sea gull and its freedom?
(once again feel free to express yourself!)
3. Is his freedom real or just an illusion?
(this is not a political question, but rather an existential one about life and freedom
in general. "think of it as a metaphor for the way we live our lives now")
Please feel free to comment on this...if you want to, or just fast forward the video
and watch the sea gull fly away!
Just something to think about as we watch this sea gull in the middle of a worldwide
Pandemic.
Life in general is more different now as we are becoming more distant with one another.
(for that I am saddened ) but it is here at Renderosity where one can achieve a personal
level of expression through their art...and that level of freedom is what we all need at the
moment!
My thought for the day, is to try to enjoy every moment, no matter how short it may be, for
life's moments of true happiness are more rarer now than ever.
Enjoy those you are with and tell those you love how you feel, for tomorrow
may not be for certain!
I Thank you in advance for all your comments and support! You are all awesome! :-)

Thank you for sharing this video with us. This year 2020 I could not take the camera out because of the Covid and other medical reasons. I did not see the seaside this year and yet it is where I was born, I feel apnea, I miss it very much. So I watched this gull several times and I will surely come back to take a breath of fresh air. Thank you very much.

My fantasy is that the gull and I are just watching the waves together, and both so entranced by their beauty and sound always there. I loved just being there with him, in this beautiful video.

A very regal looking bird, almost looks like he knew you were recording him and posing for it. Fantastic video, super impresssive with the sound on and yes emits that tranquility we all need to feel. Magnificent work, my friend!! :)

This is really a wonderful way to pause and reflect for a few moments. Not sure what the gull was thinking - probably about a nice plump fish. It's a wonderful visual statement that life continues despite all we do, right or wrong, viruses or no.

Well, let me think, what is the bird thinking? Hmmm. Well, for one thing, he is not transfixed by this last USA presidential election. Such trivial stuff. No! I think he is pondering where he last saw that school of fish habitating the point off to his right. He is just waiting for the right winds gust to take him there.
No, I wouldn't want to be a seagull. Too much freedom! LOL! I need the restraints of this chaotic society and all its neurosis. LOL.
Some observers believe all is an illusion. I don't really know where I stand on that one. Guess I will wait till this scene gets stuck and winds up in a endless loop.
Now, I await the sequel to this marvelous video, which, BTW, I enjoye immensely! Lets have one for all the fruit lovers out there. Call it, 'Life is a peach'? What do you think? Possible. No! Please don't take me seriously. I suffer from a severe case of dain bramage! LOL. Excellent work here! Many fine praises and accolades from me on this one as well as for your entire gallery!

My internet dropped out as was typing earlier after like and faving this so amazingly done video. Wow! 🥰 I can feel the breeze and splashing of the waves, while the gull waits for me to toss it a fish.

The herring gull chick in my avatar was abandoned in my garden and I ended up adopting it for a month until it had the strength to fly away. I cannot imagine life by the sea without these creatures. Great video!
