Special thanks goes out to Dr. Carin Bondar at the Scientific American videoblog Psivid for her post about my animation yesterday! Touted it as “An evolution animation unlike ANY you’ve seen before,” Dr.Bondar congratualted me on my “remarkable achievement. His editing skills and creative vision bring the process of evolution to center stage in an entirely new form.” Aw, shucks!
You can check out the post here, http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/psi-vid/2012/02/29/an-evolution-animation-unlike-any-youve-seen-before/ as well as the animation as the video of the week over at http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/video-of-the-week/2012/02/29/evolution/
From there it bounced its way over to various other blogs from around the web, and overall people seemed to be getting a kick out of it! Starting tomorrow the animation will be playing in the Richmond Public Library here in Richmond, Virginia, so hopefully I have some stuff to post from that as well, and maybe some new creatures along the way! Stay tuned!
Great job!
This is absolutely the best merging of art and science that I have seen in a very long time. There has been a lot of talk about the importance of STEM, but I think the best way to engage young people in the fields of science & technology is to add an “A” (Art) to the mix for STEAM! You have done this with excellence.
