Why you should listen

Louie Schwartzberg is a cinematographer, director and producer whose career spans more than four decades of providing breathtaking imagery using his time-lapse, high-speed and macro cinematography techniques. Schwartzberg tells stories that celebrate life and reveal the mysteries and wisdom of nature, people and places.

Schwartzberg's recent theatrical releases include the 3D IMAX film, Mysteries of the Unseen World with National Geographic, narrated by Forest Whitaker, and the documentary Wings of Life for Disneynature, narrated by Meryl Streep. Mysteries of the Unseen World is a journey into invisible worlds that are too slow, too fast, too small and too vast for the human eye to see, while Wings of Life focuses on pollination and the web of life. Schwartzberg also directed Soarin' Around the World, an international update to the original Soarin' ride now showing at Disney Parks in Anaheim, Orlando and Shanghai.

Supported by the Templeton Foundation, with science and analytics by the Greater Good Center at UC Berkeley, the series explores the multifaceted virtues of gratitude. Schwartzberg is the first filmmaker to be inducted into the Association for the Advancement of Science and the Lemelson Foundation’s Invention Ambassadors Program.

For Schwartzberg, the greatest satisfaction is creating works that can have a positive effect on the future of the planet. "I hope my films inspire and open people's hearts," he says. "Beauty is nature's tool for survival -- we protect what we love. Nature's beauty can open hearts, and the shift in consciousness we need to sustain and celebrate life."

01:51
was something that I askedküsisin my scientificteaduslik advisersnõustajad:
37
96000
3000
küsimus, mille esitasin oma teadusnõunikele:
01:54
"What motivatesmotiveerib the pollinatorstolmeldajad?"
38
99000
3000
"Mis motiveerib tolmeldajaid?"
01:57
Well, theiroma answervastus was,
39
102000
2000
Nende vastus oli:
01:59
"It's all about riskrisk and rewardauhind."
40
104000
3000
"See on riski ja tasu küsimus."
02:02
Like a wide-eyedsilmad kidpoiss, I'd say, "Why is that?"
41
107000
3000
Nagu süütute silmadega laps küsisin: "Aga miks nii?"
02:05
And they'dnad tahavad say, "Well, because they want to surviveellu jääma."
42
110000
2000
Ja nemad ütlesid: "Sest nad tahavad ellu jääda."
02:07
I go, "Why?"
43
112000
2000
Ma jätkasin: "Miks?"
02:09
"Well, in ordertellida to reproducepaljundada."
44
114000
2000
"Noh, et paljuneda."
02:11
"Well, why?"
45
116000
2000
"Aga miks?"
02:13
And I thought that they'dnad tahavad probablytõenäoliselt say, "Well, it's all about sexsugu."
46
118000
3000
Ja ma arvasin, et nad ilmselt ütlevad: "Noh, tegelikult on selle kõige taga lihtsalt seks."
02:17
And ChipKiip TaylorTaylor, our monarchMonarch butterflyliblikas expertasjatundja,
