This is a really beautiful video... Love the song! Kiss MTV-wannabe music vids goodbye; there's a new kid on the blog! (pun intended) ;)
Think a useful principle that I learnt from watching this vid is that sometimes, if you're limited by your equipment (deliberately or not), you can actually make use of your equipment's limitations to create new and creative works of arts that nobody's thot of before.
E.g. a still camera can't do motion at all. But is that necessarily a bad thing? For starters, the very stillness of a photo lends sharpness, clarity and detail to its subject. It freezes the subject in time and space, and helps the viewer to stop and appreciate the ephemeral beauty of its subject for as long as he/she likes to.
Same way with God. Sometimes we feel super-limited as instruments - we don't have this person's talent or that person's intelligence - in fact, we feel as ordinary as an ordinary 2B pencil. But the truth is, God's a far greater artist and creator than we can ever think of. He picks us up, and where we see limitations, He sees opportunities. And he turns our limitations into the very glories of His masterpiece.
"and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor."
