Baltimore Oriole

Not quite the eagle cam, but an incredibly clear video of a Baltimore Oriole. In the middle of the video there is another bird, but I am not sure what that one is.

[Added 6/7/11 - The second bird is a Red-Bellied Woodpecker.]

Symmetry

This is the second video from Radio Lab that I have posted. My August 16, 2010 post included their video "Words".

This striking Radiolab video made by Everynone was inspired by Radiolab's Desperately Seeking Symmetry episode. Filmmakers Will Hoffman, Daniel Mercadante, and Julius Metoyer III play with our yearning for balance, and reveal how beautiful imperfect matches can be.

Eadweard Muybridge

The Corcoran Gallery of Art has a photograph exhibit, Helios: Eadweard Muybridge in a Time of Change, that runs through the middle of July. Muybridge is best know today for his pioneering work with stop action photography, which had a major influence on the development of motion pictures.

I found the exhibit interesting, but unfortunately the stereoscopic lenses did not work for me, so I don't think I got the full affect of the exhibit. Here is the promo video for the exhibit.


Below is one of Muybridge's most iconic series of photographs. Prior to this there had been some debate as to the movement of a running horse's leg, and exactly how many feet left the ground at one time. Muybridge's pictures were able to settle this dispute.


At least as interesting as the exhibit is a contest that NPR ran for video and photographic works inspired by Muybridge. They have posted the winners on the blog post linked to below.

Under the category of they don't make movies like this anymore, here is a video montage of scenes from several Busby Berkeley films. Just image if he would have had 3D.

It is almost impossible to believe that this was filmed in one continuous take.

Here is an article from Wired about the making of the video.

Audrey Tautou in a Music Video

I didn't know if I should post this here or on my music blog. I am posting this solely because Audrey Tautou is in the video, I have no idea who this guy is, so I am posting it here. Charlie Winston video for "I Love Your Smile".
