This is a preview of Mr. Schartberg's Imax 3D movie project now being shown in NYC at the Museum of Natural History and in other locations around the country. In this film, he is able to capture aspects of this world that are eyes cannot perceive. Using time lapse and slow motion film making techniques, things that are too fast or slow for our eyes to see are made visible, like the wings of a dragonfly in flight or the growth of a vine climbing up a tree.
The film also delves into the microscopic world as it shows some of the tiny creatures invisible to us or the makeup of spider silk that can only be seen under powerful magnification. Data and computer modeling are also used to create amazing visualizations of the patterns of planes and ships as they travel the world, in addition to ocean and weather patterns that can also be displayed. The short clips displayed in this video are truly amazing and make one want to see the entire movie.
TED Talk with Louie Schwartzberg - Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.
In Schwartberg's "Happiness Revealed" project, he explores the world through time lapse photography and shares the thoughts of a young girl and an old man on the subject of exploring and appreciating the world around them. The images of weather and the beauty of nature reinforce the message of the video that everyday is to be enjoyed and used to explore and learn about the world around us.
TED Talk with Louie Schwartzberg - The Hidden Beauty of Pollination In this TED Talk Mr. Schwartzberg talks about his over 20 years of experience using time lapse photography to capture images of the motion of flowers, but also of his fascination with the process of pollination which makes life possible on this planet. There are some truly amazing images of insects, hummingbirds, bats, and flowers as they interact in this life giving process.
All three of these talks contain information and imagery that can be used to help teach just about any subject.
