This is a finalist in the “Best of the Labby 2012 Multimedia Awards”
The awards are for the best multimedia video or photographed lab work and the winners get a $100 Amazon gift card. All entries must be created with funding from an individual or single research grant (no entries created with funding from a corporation or research institution accepted). All videos must be 10 minutes or less, and all entries must relate to the life sciences. Entries are judged on scientific content, concept/originality, entertainment value, and production quality.
This finalist, Nanoplanet HD, makes almost no sense but is extremely captivating to watch, because it’s about some sort of cell behaviors that are probably happening in all our bodies right this second. It has no comments on Vimeo yet, probably because it leaves minds too blown to question anything.
