Ramrod Hotshot posted:Looking a 20 minute or less documentary or youtube video. Really anything interesting, but especially if it has to do with quantum entanglement, the nature of consciousness, ghosts/UFOs/bigfoot, native american traditions and mound sites, and any combination thereof. Could I interest you in a 20 minute documentary about Apollo 17? https://vimeo.com/192013765 It is made by the same guy that would go on to make the incredible Apollo 11 documentary and in the same style.

IDK if this counts as a documentary, really, but if you're extremely interested in the history of computer graphics, and yoy've watched all the normal feature-length docus and explorations about Pixar, this almost five-hour (!) video from the recent IEEE event celebrating the creators or Pixar's RenderMan is just up your alley. Creating RenderMan - Pixar's Impact on Computer Graphics IEEE posted:This event tells the origin story behind RenderManŽ, the software that has revolutionized computer graphics since the mid-1980s. It has been used in every Pixar movie, and for the special effects seen in movies, TV, and on streaming services - and also for the content recognized with every Visual Effects OscarŽ for 17 straight years. It's more like an oral history; the founders and early employees have their talks, and the last hour is a panel with all of them. It's a well-produced stream with lots of slides, videos, anecdotes, and technical info, on a level (if you're so inclined, these people are mostly applied mathematics PhD geeks really) you miss from the documentaries. What I took from it is how passionate these guys are about their time at Pixar to this day. Seems like a genuinely wonderful, curious bunch.

Not really "documentaries" in the way that the thread is set up, but this guy's YouTUbe channel I've found has a lot of very interesting, candid and honest interviews with People on the Fringe if one is into that sort of thing. A little bit like the HBO Life of Crime poo poo only it's mainly just audio. Also, a bunch of vids where he's just interviewing people most of us might never get to know about. https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos I've found a good many of these quite fascinating and really appreciate the interviewer's approach to his subjects. There's nothing dehumanizing or judgemental in them and he does what he does with respect, but he also doesn't pull any punches and tends to ask very good questions.
