| | When I originally saw the rough cut of this video, it really stuck with me. There is such a strong "folly of man" motif by what is left unsaid in the video; it's truly haunting. However, we wanted to make sure that both sides of the story were being told without a voyeuristic or shaming element, which is so easy to fall into. We worked with a composer to get a custom score for this piece in order to really emphasis the story beats without artificially swaying the viewers' emotions. Make sure to read the entire magazine story, "Inside the Murky World of Butterfly Catchers," in our August 2018 issue.

| | I think it's common knowledge that dolphins are very intelligent. But before seeing this footage, I did not know that some dolphins create "fishing nets" made of mud. It turns out the behavior is common, but only among bottlenose dolphins in Florida. What is surprising is that this dolphin is using the technique alone. Scientists have extensively studied "mud-ring feeding" behavior in Florida Bay, where dolphins use the technique cooperatively. It's possible that in St. Petersburg, Florida, where this was filmed, the ecosystem lends itself to the solo behavior. Or, the dolphins there may not have learned how to use the behavior cooperatively.

| | Become a mallrat for ten fascinating minutes as filmmaker Jessica Kingdon takes you inside China's Yiwu Market, the largest wholesale market in the world. Kingdon sets her tripod down in front of several of the market's stalls and lets everyday life unfold. Solitary vendors busy themselves with mundane tasks while women entertain unruly children. Much of what transpires is fairly banal, but the backdrop to their uneventful day is mesmerizing. It's a feast for the consumer's eye, which left me feeling a little unsettled.

| | Do you approach eating soup the same way you'd approach eating nachos? I'd think not. If you get soup, you'd probably need a spoon and, if it's too hot, you might wait for it to cool down. I dig into nachos with my hands, previously washed. Pygmy rattlesnakes approach their prey in specialized ways, too. In a controlled environment, researchers observed that they lie back and wait to ambush lizards, but they actively stalk giant centipedes. It's a battle between two venomous critters you don't want to cross paths with. Oh, and, bon appétit!

| | When I think of disputed borders, I first think of countries that are currently in the midst of war or ongoing conflict. I wouldn't have thought that Canada and the United States would have such a large "gray zone" between the two of them. This gray area really only affects tourists, an island full of puffins, and lobster fishermen, but this video does offer a quick bit of history and insight about us and our neighbors to the north.
