What Can A 1000 Words Say?

Ranked #5,393 in Culture & Society, #112,126 overall

A Picture is a Story of a Thousand Words

It's odd, but the number 'thousand' has special meaning. A thousand paper cranes, a thousand words to an image... Most of the meanings are spiritual and uplifiting. Here are some very special videos, the most commonly used thousand English words, and various other oddments around the topic.

It's funny, you'd think I'd be able to write a fair bit for a topic like this, but I'd rather you just went and watched the first video.

1000 Words by yuumei

An short story of a thousand words and the difference they made

This beautiful animated story was written and drawn by yuumei on deviantART and tells the story of a little girl, an artist, and her family. The little girl is called Fantine and the guy is called Linus.

It was based off this painting


Tape it Back Together



1000 Words recieved a Daily Deviation the day after it was uploaded.
"1000 W0RDS by *yuumei - It's rarely you ever see an entire community support a single artist like this, and when that happens it should be a memory well kept. This art is worth it, its impact is incredible. It's my honour and joy to feature this piece of true art. Thank you community for your MASS number of suggestions, we hear you. :) Well deserved *yuumei. (Featured by `ctJemm)

This is an animated version - the original was a flash comic, so if you want to see the original writing or find this moves too fast, then you can read 1000 Words on deviantART.

A Picture Can Say A 1000 Words

A film of a thousand words on a typewriter

Short listed for Depict 90 second film competition 2005
Awarded best experimental short - Eat My Shorts film festival


Trying to describe how someone looks at you can be a difficult task, especially if their unique aura makes your heart race! Attempting to describe the indescribable is a challenge. Could you paint that picture with a thousand words? After all, a picture can say a thousand words.

An audio visual production, what you hear is what you see.
The sound track is made up from 95% samples taken from the typewriter.

1000 Words from Final Fantasy 2

Opening song, sung by Jade from Sweetbox

'Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

Oh, a thousand words,
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
