Thanks for the story Joe. But I have to ask, if the camera is running and there's no one there to tend it... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Bauman" <bau@desnews.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 10:24 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Quote of the Day |I just saw an amazing movie that happens to have a scene answering | the tree-falling question. It's called "Grizzly Man," about a Timothy | Treadwell and his girlfriend, who were killed by bears. Anyway, | Timothy was heavily into documenting his experiences in the wilds of | Alaska. He made numerous takes -- up to 15! -- of scenes where he | wanted to make a comment. He would set up his videocamera, get it | running, and keep filming takes. During one of these sessions he had | placed the camera where it would catch sight of him coming down a | trail and then he would walk up to the camera and say something. A | somehow lovely scenes happened between takes. Treadwell slipped on | the trail coming down so he went back up to try it again. He | disappeared into the underbrush. Then there were amazing moments when | he was farther up the trail somewhere, the camera was running, and | there was this view of vegetation swishing and swaying in the breeze, | and of course you could hear the sound of this even though no human | was listening at the time. It really was a mysterious scene, which | the filmmaker (Werner Hrezog) commented on. Cory, my wife, thought it | was scary but I was enthralled by it. -- Joe | | >Sorry, Guy.
