Extremely interesting view of a slice of cultural traffic, using some very exciting new technologies.
This could change the way we allow our cities to grow. A must watch.
The show that the video is taken from will air on August 10 on the BBC One at 9pm and BBC Two at 10pm, if you're lucky enough to get these stations.

OK, I know, this is a photo blog, but you gotta see this video. Follow the story closely and if you don't end up crying with joy, your heart must have frozen over. This is humanity at it's best. Maybe this could only have happened in the 60's, when people knew how to be people and loved animals without restrictions, and didn't mind showing others how they felt. You might end up saddened that, after 1974, they never saw Christian again, but then that was because he had returned to the wild, completely and had his own course to follow. But I'm sure he'll remember, to his last days, the time he had with these two humans.
This video is really something to see. Incredible use of 3D modeling and airborn 3D scanning. Rather than watch it in low res here on my site, you can move your mouse over the video and then click on the HD icon on the right-hand side to view it on Vimeo in High Definition, with a better explanation of what you're seeing.
Enjoy!

Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and is part of the Pittsburgh Metro Area. The house was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run at Rural Route 1 in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.
Hailed by TIME magazine shortly after its completion as Wright's "most beautiful job," the home inspired Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead, and is listed among Smithsonian magazine's Life List of 28 places "to visit before ...it's too late." Fallingwater was featured in Bob Vila's A&E Network production, Guide to Historic Homes of America.

But then Cristóbal Vila has created this incredible computer animation of the house. Trust me on this, you'll love it. State of the art animation work.

A very special night with my friends. Thank you all so much for a great evening together. This video was made by Farshad, using some of the things we discussed in our class on Creating Video. He used Microsoft MovieMaker, and finished it and uploaded it within hours of our evening together. Thanks Farshad.
