The Pollinators focuses on the insects, birds, animals, and vectors that pollinate flowers. Filmed against brightly colored backgrounds that both attract and distract pollinators, the video explores wild color spaces, modeling the ultraviolet-rich color range perceived by insects that extends beyond human vision and the RGB colorspace of video.The Pollinators was filmed over the course of a full calendar year to document a complete annual cycle of flowering.with sound by Luke Fischbeck.
