Paris’ Traveling Knife Grinder

mxxcon says...

I'm always so disappointed in these "great big stories" videos.
They have such amazing, interesting subjects, videos are so professionally shot, but they all end up being too short and not really getting into the meat of things
This video should've been AT LEAST 15min long if not good 30+.
They could've shown how he sharpens different knifes, blades, etc etc, what customers think of him, etc. All their videos are such wasted opportunities

So, is Great Big Story just following the Atlas Obscura people around now?

A Fold Apart: Origamist Robert Lang's Incredible Creations

oritteropo says...

I know they sometimes partner with other organisations, but this time they just say "This story is a part of our Human Condition series". Maybe they sold it to NOVA first?

p.s. Lang's website says "PBS's landmark series NOVA devoted an entire episode to the applications of origami in science, engineering, and technology. Based on the French/German documentary, "The Origami Code."" He also lists this interview as CNN's Great Big Story.

From the trailer, it seems to cover the same ground but has a different narrator.

If I'm not mistaken, this is culled directly from a recent NOVA about origami. It was a good episode. Odd they don't give NOVA credit.
