1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,660
For the rest of
this video segment,

2
00:00:05,660 --> 00:00:08,880
I thought I would go through
a few of them with you

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,410
and we'll watch them together.

4
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:13,090
So let's start with this one.

5
00:00:13,090 --> 00:00:16,790
It's actually a piece of
art, but I immediately

6
00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:20,970
saw the technology involved with
getting those balls floating

7
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:21,580
in the air.

8
00:00:21,580 --> 00:00:24,070
So it's relevant
for us, I think.

9
00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:27,200
And I think the video
continues to engage us.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,490
I was really drawn to the color
in this particular attempt.

11
00:00:30,490 --> 00:00:35,100
It's quite beautiful, in that
sepia tone-- for me, anyway.

12
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:37,020
So now we see a hand.

13
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:38,360
That's interesting.

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,780
They are making the video
a little more compelling

15
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:44,020
by inserting a fourth ball.

16
00:00:44,020 --> 00:00:46,750
OK, it's a good idea
that you run the video

17
00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:49,490
and change it after
a few seconds.

18
00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:51,870
So look what's going on now.

19
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:55,540
They've cut into a new video
with colored balls, which

20
00:00:55,540 --> 00:00:57,060
is really quite beautiful.

21
00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:01,430
And so we're inserting yet
another iteration of the video

22
00:01:01,430 --> 00:01:02,630
after the first.

23
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:05,319
And I'm still
fascinated, and want

24
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,050
to look at all those balls.

25
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:09,990
It's the same set up that
was in the previous video,

26
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:11,760
but this time colored.

27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,670
And we're at the very end
now, and there you go.

28
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:16,760
I thought it'd be fun
for you to just take

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,320
a look at this particular one.

30
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:20,890
The question is
whether or not this

31
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:23,210
is relevant to your
own video making.

32
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:24,780
That's your call.

33
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:27,710
So let's go to the next one.

34
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:31,250
You're seeing a surface
inside a piece of equipment.

35
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:35,110
And we see drops of water
forming on the surface.

36
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:39,250
I gather the researcher first
tried to capture the phenomenon

37
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:41,430
with angles lighting this.

38
00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:45,039
There were too many reflections
and glare, he mentioned to me.

39
00:01:45,039 --> 00:01:47,340
So in the end what
you're seeing here

40
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:50,180
is interestingly a ring light.

41
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:52,660
It's concentric with
the lens, and it's

42
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:56,810
lighting this surface at a
perfectly perpendicular angle.

43
00:01:56,810 --> 00:02:01,020
I remember that he tried a lot
and wound up with this one.

44
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:03,480
And we're seeing
that these drops are

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,180
coalescing and becoming larger.

46
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:10,590
And that is in fact the
point of the science.

47
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:12,590
Later when he sent
it to me, I asked

48
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:15,900
if he intended to
include in the frame

49
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:18,960
the left side wall
of the apparatus.

50
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840
For me it looked kind
of like an accident.

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,200
And in fact his
first response was

52
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,620
that he didn't intend
to show the wall,

53
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:29,120
but after thinking
about it the edge

54
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,050
is very informational
to scientists

55
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:33,829
who understand
this kind of stuff,

56
00:02:33,829 --> 00:02:37,410
because the edge affects
the motion of the drops.

57
00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:41,470
So for me, I would have
shown even more of the edge.

58
00:02:41,470 --> 00:02:45,120
Great deal of attempts were made
in trying to make this video.

59
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,525
In the end, I think
it's a great job.

60
00:02:47,525 --> 00:02:49,650
So here's something
that's considerably

61
00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:52,660
different from what
we've been seeing before.

62
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:55,850
We're seeing a flattened
something-or-other become

63
00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:59,810
unflattened totally by himself.

64
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:04,390
We can sort of guess that -
-that was a bit of a jump.

65
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:08,240
You can guess that the battery
is making all this happen.

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,870
It's somewhat origami-like,
wouldn't you say?

67
00:03:10,870 --> 00:03:15,630
And now he's becoming
even more of a something--

68
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:17,746
I don't know what to call it.

69
00:03:17,746 --> 00:03:19,550
It really is a robot.

70
00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:22,060
And so these
researchers are doing

71
00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:24,910
some pretty fabulous
stuff, where

72
00:03:24,910 --> 00:03:28,710
you start with a
flattened assemblage that

73
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:32,510
becomes something else.

74
00:03:32,510 --> 00:03:35,190
And we did speed
this up a little bit,

75
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:38,110
So that's why you're
seeing some jumps.

76
00:03:38,110 --> 00:03:40,600
There he goes.

77
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,760
Kind of silly, but incredibly
unique and very exciting,

78
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,690
leaving a trail behind
him, by the way.

79
00:03:49,690 --> 00:03:53,460
And finally, this last batch
is a bit beyond the course,

80
00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:57,310
because these videos were
made with a high speed camera.

81
00:03:57,310 --> 00:04:01,510
But I thought I'd get you
excited about your next steps,

82
00:04:01,510 --> 00:04:05,660
in case your work will benefit
from high speed photography.

83
00:04:05,660 --> 00:04:10,180
The point here is, as
we continue to suggest,

84
00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:14,000
is that the way you
approach any kind of videos

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,760
should still be
informed by what we've

86
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,290
been discussing for
the past few weeks

87
00:04:19,290 --> 00:04:22,800
on how to make your still image.

88
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,780
I hope you agree about that.
