“….Thank you so much for sharing the link to your wonderful film. It is superb. You packed a lot in about color vision, from its varieties in humans to its mysteries in mantis shrimps. I liked very much that you left those mysteries and others open; it’s not a cut and dried field, but an active, exploratory one, and you conveyed that excitement. It’s so difficult to tread between over-simplification and over-technical precision, but you did it expertly, artistically, and accurately. I also love the graphics! Your visual pathway is beautiful as well as elucidating. The whole film is beautifully made, a perfect tribute to its primary subject matter, colour.”
