Now it’s sadness, now it’s not
A study has found that removing the tears out of pictures of people crying reduces the sadness that viewers perceive in the photos, even though the rest of the expression remains intact. The research subjects said when the tears were digitally erased, the faces’ emotional content became ambiguous, ranging from awe-filled to puzzlement.

This short film (only two minutes), it is a touching retrospective of an old man’s life, based around the evocative imagery created by his piano playing. Beautiful animation created by Aidan Gibbons, student at University of Hertfordshire. The short animation film called ‘The Piano’ will make you feel the beauty plus the sadness in life more than any other animated film, and the remarkable thing is it’s only two minutes long. The composer of the music in the video is Yann Tiersen. If you’ve seen the movie ‘Amelie’, Yann wrote the music specifically for the movie. Very beautiful artist compilation that is sophisticated and creatively fun.
