Miss Tibet/Eames Elephants

While the Dalai Lama visits with President Bush and others in Washington, over the weekend the Miss Tibet pageant occurred. Xeni introduces us to the pageant’s founder. And an excerpt of an amazing short film made by Eames Demetrios, the grandson of Charles Eames. We’re certain no elephants were harmed in the making of this film.

   This is my favorite one so far! Is there anywhere we can read more about your travel to Tibet? I thought everything about this episode was perfect.

   I’m enjoying the new tv feature. I’m wondering, though, why the unicorn chaser has lost its meaning.

   Tibetan teenage beauty queens–and elephants–Huzzah! Keep up the great work… and seriously, look into fixing that blue spill on Xeni. There is a great tutorial on how to do this with Blender’s Open Source compositing nodes here:

    Is it true that elephants all go to the same place
    to cross the street?
