‘photos every day’

this is a spot by tbwa/chiat/day for apple, called ‘photos every day’.  the craft is fantastic, and there’s some subtle, unusual attention to detail in it.

let’s take a look at the sound mix.  here’s a waveform of the spot:

[and more]

Those at the top of their craft are often express their mastery in really subtle ways - sweating the details to a resolution beyond most people’s ability to see. (This ad is a pretty nice piece of work from Chiat\Day, who have often produced notable ads.) And there’s delightful surprise when you stumble upon and reveal some clever aspect you hadn’t noticed before. One day I hope to elevate a skill to such a level.

Fermi’s Motion Produces a Study in Spirograph
A great mathematical visualization of astronomical data

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope orbits our planet every 95 minutes, building up increasingly deeper views of the universe with every circuit. This image compresses eight individual frames, from a movie showing 51 months of position and exposure data by Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT), into a single snapshot. The pattern reflects numerous motions of the spacecraft, including its orbit around Earth, the precession of its orbital plane, the manner in which the LAT nods north and south on alternate orbits, and more.
The LAT sweeps across the entire sky every three hours, capturing the highest-energy form of light — gamma rays — from sources across the universe. These range from supermassive black holes billions of light-years away to intriguing objects in our own galaxy, such as X-ray binaries, supernova remnants and pulsars.

The deeper our understanding of it, the more beautiful the universe is.

Lessig on “Aaron’s Laws - Law and Justice in a Digital Age”

I know you’re not going to watch more than 100 minutes of video as you’re scrolling through Tumblr, but maybe open it in a new tab and let the audio go in the background.

Riveting, bittersweet.
