Discussion ART-HEALING 01 - an impressive feat of love

[lohre2000s]

HI EVERYONE
Perhaps this might end up as a silly post and idea in general but I still feel like it's worth a shot.​

I joined sasu about a month ago and after talking with newly-met acquaintances from the site I came to the conclusion the only reason I am alive is art.
I want to share this vision - this love, freedom and possibility that art brings to life.

I can't be a hypocrite, I am still very much wishing to CTB, but I'll try to keep standing for this one reason. To create, to move, to have an effect with art.

I like writing, drawing, 3D modelling... all the mambo-jumbo. Unfortunately not only I lack confidence, but I also believe it would be no more than shameless self-advertising to make these posts about MY art instead of whatever it is that I find.

SO WHAT IS THIS POST?​

I want to try posting here weekly one artistic piece I found and moved me in some way - so maybe we could discuss it or just appreciate in a sort of romantic way. Yeah, it might be silly, but it's my attempt to show what I care the most about in life - art and kindness and why it might be worth living if only to keep the artist alive.

Today's post is about this very very silly looking video

HAMILTON - A Minecraft Musical.
​

I have never seen HAMILTON, though I do admit I have some interest in it - I just never got around to it.
When I first saw this video on my youtube page I was impressed at first, and then cynical, until I gave it a chance.
Isn't it impressive?
Isn't it kind of beautiful?
This many people united in this game for the sole reason of creating something - adapting something that's probably dear to them. There is dedication too, it's... cinematic. No animation modifications nor fancy mods were used yet it... works.
This is a miracle in itself.
The lighting in certain scenes (I watched the "Satisfied" bit) look gorgeous! The singing is great too, they did not just use the original versions.

God this is impressive!

What I like the most is how many people are involved. This is not the work of a madman, but it's a work of union - union through love, through the desire to create something beautiful or (since this is an already existing musical) present what's dear to them to the world in the only way they could.

It's perhaps a lack of budget that leads to projects like this, and it's eye-opening how much you can achieve with so little.
Now...once again, I'm not the hugest HAMILTON fan, I have pretty much only listened to a track or two back in the day but still, this is fascinating I can't overstate this.

Well, I think I babbled enough - the point of these posts is not to repeat myself constantly, instead to show what I found, why it moved me and how it can be inspiring in any way so I won't take much more of your time.

Thanks for reading this, hopefully I'll be back with something new to inspire you next week.
