Sorry for the typo, Rich. I meant to say a somehow lovely scene happened between takes -- not scenes. My note was in response to Kim's joke about the old conundrum wondering whether there's a sound if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it. In the movie "Grizzly Man", a documentary about the life and death of Timothy Treadwell (put together with video Treadwell himself made), Treadwell leaves the video camera running between takes. In this particular scene, between takes nobody is around, yet we see this somewhat mysterious view of what the camera sees and we hear the wind and the vegetation swishing. No human is present while the camera is rolling. It goes on for a while, and this glimpse of otherwise unseen nature is somehow surprising, as if we are peering into the heart of the wilderness. I'm sorry if I expressed it poorly -- I simply wanted to share what I thought was a highlight of the film. From his comments, I know Werner Herzog, who made the documentary, felt the same way. If you do see the movie you'll understand what I was trying to say. -- Joe

Huh??? That's one of the strangest emails I've ever read Joe...
