very complex example of video-narration called by author video-cascade. This is kind of video is a way to stimulate process of forming identity by serious of flowing images that are forms for thoughts of viewer (water) and migration of the flexible nature of mind from one into another form will create kind of transcendental meditation when every single person can stay closer to inner nature, universal nature of life and its expression in ritual, religion and cultural context.
