The videos we saw in class “The power of 10”, by Bomi Lee is a strange video. It shows how small people are in comparison to greater picture, but it also shows how great people are in comparison to organs, tissues, organelles, cells, and bacteria. The video starts out with two people having a picnic and it begins to expand beyond the simple life of these two humans, two the busy sights of a city, to the outer reaches of the state, the continent itself, the planet, the stars, and it goes on into the seeing the world through the infinite galaxies that exist. Just when you think the video is going to end, everything that is small slowly comes back into view. We are back to the part where our two human friends are relaxing at the park while they have their picnic. The camera begins to zoom into our lazy friend whom is napping on this beautiful picnic date. It begins with his hand, it slowly goes into his pores you see how strange pores look like from up close, it zooms in further, through his epidermis and slowly goes through his reticular dermis , into his cell structure, atomic structure, and then we arrive at the nucleus of the cell and zoom into that too, and we are surrounded by the electrons, etc.
