Can You Recognize a Crow? - Neatorama

Crows can recognize individual people, but can you recognize a particular crow in a photo lineup? I couldn't! Even people who raise crows as pets have a hard time telling crows apart. NPR presents the quiz and an accompanying video about crow research. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111040421 -via the Presurfer

I wonder if it's directed by Michel Gondry. It looks really familiar to the video for the White Stripes that's animated with legos. Of course, it wasn't all legos, it was also a photoshop effect over video for the real difficult stuff. They probably did the same thing with this video.

According to thisthe White Stripes video was all done with Legos. Michel Gondry says they had a program that printed out a layout grid of what bricks to use for each frame, but they actually assembled each frame manually with the bricks.
