So, I've recorded a bunch of video for the dance-like-a-monkey thing. I want to edit several of these clips together in order to form a longer clip. I did this once before with video recorded using Kate's camera, to make the Hoops With Moss video, using the Movie Maker program that came with Vista…
I got a very nice email today from Sam Gaty, one of the filmmakers behind the Synthetic Biology Documentary I blogged about earlier. He acknowledged the "mad scientist" type concerns, but emphasized that's not what they're going for in the final documentary, and suggested I share another short clip…
I watched most of yesterday's Senate hearings live (ironically titled Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate over the Magnitude of Human Impact on Earth’s Climate), and what I missed, I sampled via the magic of recorded video. I considered fisking the hearings, in particular, the…
Clip is dead. I am sad. I want to see a booze tree.

There's a nice cream liquer called Amarula that is flavoured with the marula fruit. Has a really lovely taste to it.
Glad the clip link is fixed! Now I need to get some headphones so I can actually hear the audio . . .
Welcome to Scienceblogs! Looking forward to your fauna postings. :)
I know that feeling.
And Amarula really is a pretty decent little cream liquer. In coffee or over ice, a couple of those and you'll feel like you're in Africa too.
I vaguely remember this clip from some old documentary. It was funny as hell then, and it still is...
I believe that this video clip is pirated from a 1974 movie,
"Animals are Beautiful People". If so, the marula tree intoxications
likely were staged, as the Wikipedia article on this subject suggests.
Try a Google search on the movie title.
Backgammon, Mark?
The elephants and I actually got hammered on peach Schnapps and then decided "hey, wouldn't it be funny to film a documentary?!" It was really just a bunch of us adolescent pachyderms experimenting and trying to act like adults. We didn't mean for anyone to get hurt.
Ha! Anyone seen 'Overdrawn at the Memory Bank'? Hmm.. probably not. Unless you like MST3K, that is. It's a made for PBS movie starring Raul Julia. They use footage from this. Priceless. "He looks drunk to me!"
I've got a bad feeling these were staged, as were so many animal documentaries. How exactly are the fruit going to ferment in the stomach? Unlikely at best. They probably shot the animals with tranqulizers or something.
