Powers of Ten™ (1977)

Powers of Ten takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only a s a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward- into the hand of the sleeping picnicker- with ten times more magnification every ten seconds. Our journey ends inside a proton of a carbon atom within a DNA molecule in a white blood cell. POWERS OF TEN © 1977 EAMES OFFICE LLC (Available at www.eamesoffice.com)

There's something to be said for naturalistic looking effects. Perhaps they engage our own minds more, because they require a sympathetic observer to look past the flaws for the truth behind them. CGI is too pristine; banal.

Очень полезная иллюстрация. Естественная альтернатива одномерному, "фасадному" восприятию и мышлению. И в первую очередь, для так называемых, профессионалов в области архитектуры.
