Re: UKNM: something I'm working on

See 'Power of Ten' a short film by Charles and Ray Eames in their

eponymous retrospective at the Design Museum. Done, I think, in the

early seventies, this film zooms from 'Outer Space' to a couple

picnicking in a park through skin cells to DNA and individual atoms. 


It's done with a combination of rostrum and animation and looks

absolutely fucking brilliant. In an age when they use 'Flame' morphs to

advertise soap powders it's truly marvellous to see a simple idea

executed beautifully.
