Google Glass is phenomenal in many ways, and the short Mother's Day video called 'Seeds' is a great example of what a powerful first-person storytelling tool it is too.
The video was shot for Google Glass' Glass Creative Collective by students from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. Filming took 10 days and took its actors from LA to San Francisco, Tokyo and India.
At the beginning of the video, a man shares a special moment with his wife before setting off on a long journey. Since it's a Mother's Day video, it doesn't take long to figure out that the man is embarking on a long journey to see his mother, but finding out what's in this envelope he's carrying throughout his trip makes it worth a watch to the end.
