Seeing Beyond the Human Eye | Off Book | PBS

Technology defies the boundaries of human perception. From photomicrography to astrophotography, size and distance are no longer barriers, and through slow-mo and timelapse, we are allowed to see time and humanity in a new light. Through our curiosity and thirst for the unknown, the beauty of the universe can now be explored beyond the limits of the naked eye.

love this series!

[NoQuo89]

If you took all these off books and turned them into a full fledged documentary, think about how awesome that would be :D

Call it like "The Hidden Arts" or "The Worlds Outside of Society." Just something to show what people are overlooking, like off-book is already doing! Please keep up the fantastic work!!!

[StellarStreak]

This is one of the best web series i've ever encountered.

the art, the colour, the narration, the presentation, the topics are just pure imagination...

They show that there is more to life....

This truly is "off book"

[STLforEVER]

Wow what kind of audio is this? My ears feel like they're being wrapped up in a fluffy silky pillows filled with fluffiest feathers that fits right over my ears :D
