    That was so… strangely beautiful. I feel like I’ve just watched a heroes journey of a potato, but in the end it just died from the lack of nutrients that would make it fully grow. But it did try there for a long time. It put up a good fight. I also liked the composition between seeing the potatoes rot and change and grow, and the plastic tag staying completely intact. It’s easy to forget how unnatural this world we’ve constructed around nature is.

      The gas they release is super toxic. I doubt a small group of potatoes like that could hurt you unless you like stuck a straw in and snorted it, though. But if you see a large group of inflated potatoes and you're indoors, GTFO because you might die.

    • @mdazharuddin4684
      @mdazharuddin4684 2 года назад +157

      @based memer Yes, it's true. But that gas was not released by bacteria. When you keep potatoes in a humid place exposed to sunlight and they become green, that gas is deadly.
      In case of that family, they kept it in their basement where it was exposed to light. With time concentration of gas in basement increased and as the family members went there one by one, all of them died. However grandma left the door open before entering so when the girl went down, concentration wasn't sufficient to kill her.

    I love your work! I love this video as well. As David Attenborough described, Timelapses give us a glimse as to how alive the world really is when we shift the time to the plant's point of view. Our POV is much much faster, and everything in this universe moves at it's own pace, and sometimes we can't notice them being so alive, but, timelapses allows us to see how alive the world really is as it gives us a glimse of a world that we ourselves cannot see with a naked eye without some cool-nerdy tricks!

    Coupled with the music it’s kind of sad and beautiful at the same time. The potatoes have so much energy that they pass that onto new life and keep feeding it until they no longer can and fade away. It’s a true life and death story. Made me feel things.

      i'm not 100% sure, but at the end of the video when he opens one of the potatoes it looks like there's a small mass of what used to be the potato inside the much larger skin. my guess is that while decomposing the inside bit started to emit some gas, inflating the skin until it popped and deflated

    • @VicisHungry
      @VicisHungry 2 года назад +6

      I think the growth on the skin of the potatoes might’ve torn the skin open, letting air get in and inflate it until the weight forced the air out. Or some gasses were emitted by the growth. I dunno, I’m just an idiot on the internet lmao

    I'm curious as to how you're able to keep these projects going on for so long. I asusme you have multiple time lapse projects happeneing at the same time. Do you film each project for a set amount of time during the day? With having multiple projects ongoing at the same time, where do you find the space to designate to each individual one?

    • @PhotoOwl
      @PhotoOwl  2 года назад +68

      I have a separate studio just for these time lapses. My cameras capture photos at a certain interval all the time. The interval depends on how fast the actual thing decomposes. here I used a 20 mins interval, but most often I use 5 or 10 minutes.
