Nature Video Short Films, may annoy

morreale Monday 08 of March, 2010
Nature Video Nobel Reactions has seven short videos on various subjects from 2009 Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau. I watched the video with Harold Kroto and was interested but mostly annoyed with the video. The video has two students speaking with Dr. kroto about nanotechnology and C60. Not sure how real life type interviews pioneered by MTV fits here. The video is offset in my player so the the right 25% of the video is cut off. At first, I thought that this was a video style but later text appeared and show the problem with the video, player, browser or what. The more interesting bits are clips of his speech to the conference. I saw Dr. Kroto speak at Rutgers University a few years ago and he is a excellent speaker that is very inspiring and informative. Since, I know how good his talks can be, this video disappoints. I would rather see his talk from the conference instead. Anyway, if you get a chance to hear him speak, I recommend going for the extra effort.

BTW, The videographers might benefit from seeing films by Errol Morris of Faster, Cheaper, and Out of Controlfame.
