Check out this slow and haunting video by filmmaker Lorenzo Fonda, who traveled aboard a trading vessel, the Portland Senator, on a trip from L.A. to Shanghai. The imagery of the ocean is documented beautifully, and conveys its embedded majesty and mystery with a patient eye. Coupled with the really quite remarkable imagery are little poetic snippets of poignant observations about the sea. It's clear that the majority of the footage captured was done handheld or on tripods, and I giddily imagine what everything would look like had the filmmaker had access to other resources like dollies, stedicams, and crane rigs.
If you've got ten minutes, throw on a good pair of headphones, and watch it in full screen HD. It's the perfect quiet, calming antidote for a busy work week.
