SciCast Notes:
Aw, cute! This is a very carefully put-together presentation, with good confident performances which make it stand out from the crowd. It’s a shame the technical quality is so poor — ie. the picture’s very blurry — but at least we can hear what’s being said.
It’s hard to follow in places more because the information is coming thick and fast, so I find myself having to pause it every now and then and think ‘OK, so, we’re in Australia, and the planet is tilted over that way, so, OK, yes, I follow…’ — but hey, a film that makes the viewer think is no bad thing.
