Lessons from a Dragonfly

(FYI: A dragonfly can spend up to several years underwater until it is strong enough to surface, shed its skin and evolve into this beautiful creature. Then it flies free among us but only for a very brief period of up to 2 months before it dies.)

Poem: Lessons from a Dragonfly


A dragonfly accepts it’s brevity of life
With its gossamer wings feeling the breeze
Full of freedom it watches our joy and our strife
Its wisdom learned flitting from water to air to trees
With wings that shimmer showing purpose and duty
Obedient to all of life’s changes in flight
Modestly it shows us its outer beauty
Always gracious, mindful and full of delight
So whether what life gives you is good, bad, or sad
Show others that inner beauty counts and matters
Make your actions amount to many smiles and be glad
For the dragonfly knows it lives a brief life this way
So I learn from this creature to live wisely each day
And make every minute special to those that you love
As the dragonfly watches our actions from above

As Aventuras de Tintin: O Segredo do Licorne

Olá! Depois de tanto tempo vou finalmente postar o que realmente me levou a fazer o post anterior do Tintin...

A nova animação: As Aventuras de Tintin: O Segredo do Licorne


Há tempos que eu queria postar isso aqui, mas como sempre eu dei uma "esquecidinha" do meu blog... ^^''''

Então, vamos finalmente ao assunto...

As Aventuras de Tintin: O Segredo do Licorne será uma animação do diretor Steven Spielberg e que terá Peter Jackson como produtor (dois diretores que eu gosto muito ^^,), a estréia está prevista para 23 de dezembro nos EUA e 20 de janeiro de 2012 aqui no Brasil.

O roteiro é de Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright e Joe Cornish. No elenco quem da voz a Tintin é Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot).

A história é sobre Tintin e seus amigos procurando um navio afundado que era comandado por um antepassado do capitão Haddock, em busca de um tesouro.

Mas o principal nesse filme é o perfeccionismo com que foi feito. Ele é feito com a técnica do motion capture, a mesma utilizada em O Expresso Polar.

Dragonflies

(Arte-final e poesia por Rick Daddario, 19 Planets)

dragonflies
the soft blur of time
in another land

We can work it out

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing
that our love may soon be gone

We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right

Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out
and get it straight or say goodnight

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short
and there's no time
for fussing and fighting,my friend

I have always thought
that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart
Before too long

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short
and there's no time
for fussing and fighting,my friend

I have always thought
that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart
Before too long

We can work it out
We can work it out
