The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals- part1

Part 1 - Sequence from the original movie "The expression of Emotions in Man and Animals". This project was created by me for the "Darwin Evolution", an exhibition at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, 2009. Due to the itinerant character of this show, which is yet to be presented in some European cities, this is not the original movie. It's a simplified, shorter and rather different version. It also presents some annoying cuts and a few missing parts of the soundtrack. The movie, based on Darwin's book, narrates, in Portuguese, some amazing observations by this great personality. His thoughts and studies on the subject are compiled in a book: "The expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals", published in 1898. In this book he divides emotions into categories and writes passionately about how similar we animals are, explaining the mechanisms behind each expression. It's such a fascinating book. Emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, terror, anger, love, devotion, among many others, are explored with his unique vision and thirst for knowledge. The movie can be boring for non-Portuguese speakers due to the quantity of text. Hopefully I'll make some English version of this soon, just because the best of it are undoubtedly Darwin's words. A special thanks to all the photographers, musicians and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation who made this project possible.

Cheers!

I'd love to have an English translation, as I'm studying this subject right now. Beautiful video, though. Thanks for posting.

Hi! Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated.

I'm working on the English version. This subject is fascinating indeed. Maybe reading the book would be a great help for your studies. I just found out that there's a free online version of "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals".

Thank you so much, Micke. Greatly appreciated.

Your music would have been such a great add to it. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to plan it all in a better way.

Kisses.

Yes i can hear that you used loops here and there, but your choice on music is perfectly well-poised. You amaze me every time something new is done from you. Miss you so much...KISSES back...
