“Beauty and seduction, I believe, are nature’s tools for survival, because we will protect what we fall in love with.” Louie Scwartzberg
When Cherrie sent me a video titled The Beauty of Pollination a few months back, I filed it away in my "must pollinate" stash. And there it sat. This evening while indulging in my new addiction TED Talks, I stumbled across a couple of them by genius filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg. I was completely blown away not only by his extraordinary technical skill, but the perspective from which he operates creatively.
Mr. Schwartzberg's notable career spans feature films, television
shows, commercials and documentaries. He won two Clio Awards for TV
advertising, including best environmental broadcast spot, an Emmy
nomination for best cinematography and the Heartland Film Festival's
Truly Moving Picture Award for the feature film “America’s Heart &
Soul.” Schwartzberg founded Moving Art
to use the power of media to inspire and entertain through television
programming, DVD products, and full-length motion picture and IMAX
films. His new film "Wings of Life" will be released by Disneynature.
"I've spent my life capturing beautiful images. And whether in
wilderness or in the downtown of a giant city, I find connections,
universal rhythms, patterns and beauty that I recognize as a part of me,
a part of all of us that celebrates life. It's my great pleasure to
share with you that energy which inspires me; this great visual beauty
of our world."
You can clearly see the gratitude of which he speaks, as it shines through his lens in every frame of these gorgeous films. He's a Killer Bee for sure, just check out this clip. As the gentleman narrator of his film "Happiness Revealed" will tell you, "The only appropriate response is gratefulness..."
