Breaking the Rules: Pollen Thieves!

Sunday, 19 March 2017

This is a pretty amazing animation which shows that nature was many millions of years ahead of us when it comes to some traits that we consider human. In this case, it is theft. Some plants have evolved so that a particular insect can take its pollen from it flowers and so further the species. However, there are a number of species out there who pay little or no attention to the ‘wishes’ of the flower. They sense pollen and they want it!

What do they do? They grab hold of the flower and rip it open, so gaining access to the corolla tube and then they access the precious nectar from there. However, sometimes their act of desecration will still result in pollination, as this amazing video shows. Breaking the Rules was created by Divulagare.

Stop the Dog (Starring Harvey Waggington)

Friday, 5 July 2013

Watch this right to the end: you will (I hope) laugh! This short film, a little over two minutes long, follows the adventures of a lovable Labrador. The dog is played by Harvey Waggington, who we suspect might be playing himself. Or it could be method acting: who can say?

However, that aside, this dog may be intent on being the canine equivalent of an altruist but he is somewhat let down by his natural clumsiness…

Stop the Dog was created by takeitoutsidefilms for the 2013 Virgin Media Shorts competition. You can vote for it in the competition by clicking here.

The short was produced and directed by Alec Birkbeck with music written by Nick Salmon and played by Steel City Sax.
