Ca de fiecare data, cei de la BBC ne incanta cu montaje ce contin imagini uimitoare. Vocea lu’ David Attenborough nu se putea sa lipseasca nici de aceasta data:

With timelapse cameras, specialists recorded salt water being excluded from the sea ice and sinking. The temperature of this sinking brine, which was well below 0C, caused the water to freeze in an icy sheath around it. Where the so-called “brinicle” met the sea bed, a web of ice formed that froze everything it touched, including sea urchins and starfish.

The unusual phenomenon was filmed for the first time by cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson for the BBC One series Frozen Plane.

Un fenomen natural foarte rar suprins de cei de la BBC. Spectaculos:

Cea de-a treia serie de documentare realizate de catre producatorii BBC (The Blue Planet (2001) & Planet Earth (2006)) se intinde de-a lungul a sapte episoade. Intr-unul din ele putem asista la secventa de mai jos, un pinguin simpatic isi face de lucru printre lucrurile celorlalti co-locatari de pe insula. Nu stiu daca o face cu buna stiinta sau doar din reflex, cert este ca e simpatic foc.

The animal will be stimulated internally to collect its sperm. First of all, the intestine must be cleaned.  Artificial stimulation of the animal does not produce large quantities of sperm. Each drop must be retrieved quickly. The sample is immediately sent to the neighboring laboratory.

Astazi se pare ca e ziua subiectelor pe tema “cum sa…”. Daca sunteti fanii celebrei emisiuni de pe Discovery atunci sunt sigur ca sunteti familiarizati si obisnuiti totodata cu astfel de subiecte.

Care din rolurile prezentate mai jos vi se pare mai riscant? Cea de colector sau cea de stimulator?

First Time Tribe Encounter with Civilized Man (1993) – PART 1 – Yeha Noha.

This is incredible footage from documentary filkmaker Jean-Pierre Dutilleux shows the Toulambi tribe in Papua New Guinea meeting a white man for the first time. Also, the music is awesome.

Titlul spune totul asa ca lasam imaginile sa vorbeasca de la sine:

MTV’s “Diary of Facebook” — premiering March 30 at 11 p.m. ET/PT — goes deep inside the social network’s hyperkinetic Palo Alto, California, headquarters to tell the story of what really goes on; you think you know, but you have no idea.

30-minute special features Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg giving insight into the company’s culture and evolution, as well as day-in-the-life journeys with a technical engineer named Pedram and a consumer-marketing employee named Erin, as they work to pioneer new applications and bring together users whose lives have been changed through the site.

Recent, cei de la MTV s-au gandit sa faca o vizita in Palo Alto, California – la birourile celei mai mari retele de socializare din lume. Si nu au plecat de acolo cu mana goala ci s-au intors cu niste materiale din care a iesit un excelent documentar. Daca pana acum eram obisnuiti sa vedem/auzim doar stiri despre Mark Zuckerberg -  fondatorul Facebook, despre care s-a facut si un film -  iata ca avem astazi ocazia sa aflam, in premiera, cum arata viata de zi cu zi a unui angajat care lucreaza intr-o companie de succes.

Sincer, eu am ramas extrem de impresionat:

Human Planet is an awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping landmark series that marvels at mankind’s incredible relationship with nature in the world today.
Uniquely in the animal kingdom, humans have managed to adapt and thrive in every environment on Earth. Each episode takes you to the extremes of our planet: the arctic, mountains, oceans, jungles, grasslands, deserts, rivers and even the urban jungle. Here you will meet people who survive by building complex, exciting and often mutually beneficial relationships with their animal neighbours and the hostile elements of the natural world.
Human Planet crews have filmed in around 80 locations, bringing you many stories that have never been told on television before. The team has trekked with HD cameras and state of the art gear to film from the air, from the ground and underwater. The result: a “cinematic experience” created by world-class natural history and documentary camera crews and programme makers.

Cel mai spectaculos trailer vazut anul asta, un material asemanator am postat si in urma cu cateva zile. Folositi cu incredere butonul HD + optiunea full screen.

De abia astept sa urmaresc “Human Planet” pe noul meu televizor (care inca sta cuminte pe rafturile unui magazin, topicul de aici este inca deschis, chiar va invit sa mai imi dati sfaturi).
