Spaced Out ::

I recently caught up on some TED videos having been meaning to look through their back catalog (well worthwhile by the way!). Anyway, Yann Arthus-Bertrand gave a captivating talk at TED earlier this year; he is best known for capturing stunning aerial imagery with his photos representing both art and story telling. He has taken this to the next level with the release in June of Home the story of Earth told via his imagery and the narration of Glen Close. It is a captivating 1 hr 35 mins and whilst not everyone will agree with this ecological politics, he is able to uniquely capture our moment on the planet and provide a forum for discussing the future. Unusually the film is also copyright free and can be distributed widely. YouTube provided a download until last week and this has now disappeared (for no apparent reason), however Legal Torrents have the widescreen mp4 available (Firefox users can use Fire Torrent to download). Note that if you burn this to a disc, many DVD players won’t support the screen resolution meaning you’ll need to transcode it to DVD size.
