The Phantom High Speed camera gives us the ability to see the life of a hummingbird, from feeding to flying. Most of the movement of hummingbirds are beyond the capabilities of our eyes. This video gives us insight into the documentary “Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air”, a video I highly recommend.
My gratitude to Ann Prum and the production team for Hummingbirds, Magic in the Air, for giving us this time-shifting look at the life of a hummingbird.
We all have preconceived ideas about what hummingbirds’ lives are like, but so much of their world is imperceptible to the human eye. Filmmaker Ann Prum describes the breakthrough science and latest technologies that allowed her and the crew to reveal incredible new insights about these aerial athletes.
“Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air” premieres on PBS Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 8pm (check local listings) and is part of the 28th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc.
