When NPR’s Radiolab Plays With Video

When the folks at NPR start to play with video…

I like NPR.

I listen to it every morning while I am preparing breakfast.

I particularly like it on the weekends.

NPR does great radio.

Now, like everyone else, NPR is starting to edge into video.

(And I don’t mean putting video cameras in the NPR radio studios. I tried that one about 15 years ago with a pilot for PBS called This Week Considered with Scott Simon. One day I will post that).

Meanwhile… here’s an example of NPR’s Radiolab playing with video.

It’s callee WORDS

And it was produced by Will Hoffman, Daniel Mercadante and Julius Metoyer III.

Also, kudos to Ali Carron in the UK who turned me on to this one.@thealicarron

There are six words buried in the video. See if you can find them.

Also note: they don’t move the camera either

Really nice job.
