I found that fabulous! it is insane, I did not think that the plants danced as well... I really appreciated ^.^

Waay more patience than I have. I don't even have the patience to put in more a's.

That was a very moving 5 minutes. You must be man who has an incredible sense of time. I'm sitting over here wondering what equipment, software and techniques you used.

Amazing...excellent technically and artistically. Very cool.

Very nice, lots of paitence as well!

What did you use to make the pot spin?

Spinning pot. Hmm. I have an idea ...

Wow. Very very cool. I loved the old time lapse movies Disney used to do. This was actually better, and more artistic.

Wow. Wow. So dramatic when it died... cool to see slow motion death as well as birth.

I hear that in New Orleans they are using sunflowers to remove lead from the soil, especially where children play. They have to kill them and take them away when they flower.

Dan, do you know a way to reliably make a plan move in relation to light or other stimulus?

If so, how about this crazy idea: take a song, slow it down to, say, 500 times slower than normal speed, and coordinate a light to go on & off in relation to the beats of the song. Then speed it up and edit the song into the video, and it will look like the plant is dancing to the music.

when the plant was growing towards the camera - that was intense.

We all have the same fate as the sunflower. Youthful and new. Moving with the grove, grow taller and shine in the sun. In time, we wither and die. And if we are lucky, someone has taken a photo along the way.

Dan, well done! The cotyledon leaves (the lowest ones that don't look like the other leaves) didn't move. I gotta think that one through. . .
Hyperphotosynthesis? Hmmm. Photoperiod's important, for sure. Two weeks you say? I assume you gave it water and fertilizer during the filming? The music, the light, the dark background, everything was great.

go with the dancing flowers, you would need three lighting set ups, two seperate ones left and right to train the plant left and right and your set lighting complex rigging ....but should get great results.
