A Thing of Beauty
TED collaborates with animator Andrew Park to illustrate Denis Dutton's provocative theory on beauty -- that art, music and other beautiful things, far from being simply "in the eye of the beholder," are a core part of human nature with deep evolutionary origins.

This Is How A Dollar Bill Lives And Dies
The cocaine mention reminded me of Apathy's $1 rap. Worth a download if you haven't heard it before.

I Want To Be There
Info for the nerds:
On a technical note, it was filmed on a Canon 5D Mark II, 2 Canon 2Ti's, and one EX1. I used a glidecam 4000 HD for all the smooth shots. You can check out the exact model on their official website here where you can also buy them.

We also had an assortment of lenses, Canon and Nikon. My favorite personal lens that I used was a Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L series lens. I used this lens and the Glidecam 4000 HD for the opening couple shots with the biker before the jump.
For the shots with the camera on the biker, we used an HD Surf GoPro. It was my first time working with a GoPro, and I was super skeptical at first because of the small size of the camera, but with its slomo, and easiness to use after you spend a little of time with it, it worked great. And I was surprised how well it cut with the footage from our Canon cameras. No disappointments. All the GoPro footage was shot at 60fps as well, and 720p.
You can buy/learn more about GoPro cameras in their official website below.
