This was an attempt to create a ‘meta-documentary’, by tracing original nature documentaries using OpenCV and representing the result as a documentary of its own, based on ideas presented in Philip Ball’s popsci book “Critical Mass”, covering historical research on finding mathematical laws for social behaviour.
I have rendered the images with Processing, and edited afterwards in Final Cut Pro. Although the original camera work & cuts provide most of the dynamics.

great work, very inspirational.
haha, no way.. the triangles sneaking up in the beginning were actually inspired by your triangulation experiments.
