I first ran across this video on Bad Astronomy, but ever since then it's started making the rounds on other websites, so I thought I'd share it with you as well. This is a music video that YouTube user melodysheep has created from various clips of Carl Sagan's TV series Cosmos.
What I love about this video is the use of auto-tuning to give Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking's speech patterns a sort of lyrical quality. Incidentally, it also makes them sound like something out of a Kanye West song.
Having just recently rewatched the Cosmos series, this was a really fun way to condense Sagan's message for the YouTube-iPod-Wikipedia generation. There was already something poetic in the cadence of Carl Sagan's monologues, and the way melodysheep reconfigured it just underlines the fact.
