The Allure of Babies

Author: duhbe  //  Category: Cool Stuff I found

I’m going WAY off topic today, because I haven’t made anything new in a while, and I have no photos to share of the studio remodel.

The video below is a trailer for a documentary called “Babies” which comes out in April 2010. I’m fascinated by the concept and the cinematography of this movie. I think it’s more about anthropology than babies. I’m loving the first and last scenes of this trailer.

Did you know that the human brain is wired to enjoy the faces of babies? It makes sense, otherwise we could not be such a prolific species. But did you know that advertisers know this about you and use it to influence your buying decisions? Babies are not just for selling baby products, they sell you tires for your car, and online stock trades and even bottled water. We feel the need to watch the baby, and thus watch the commercial. I got all that from a neuro-marketing book I found at the library.

And there you go – I gave you fighting babies, science, and business all in one post.

    Okay, I totally teared up when the Sufjan song came on. I’m definitely interested in this film now!

    I could watch that baby fight a zillion times. I especially love the way the baby on the left stops crying and innocently goes back to playing as soon as the baby on the right starts to cry. You just can’t invent stuff like that! 8:-)
