Tranquility Tuesday At The BioPond
October 14, 2014 at 5:30 pm
Are you worried about constant midterms, the eventuality of ebola, or the fact that it's bizarrely hot today? Whatever it is that's raising your blood pressure, this lovingly shot vid of our very own BioPond will surely calm you down. Who knew that such an oasis of tranquility existed right on Penn's campus! This three-minute long embodiment of peace was made as a project for a Video 1 class, and it's hard to imagine that it received anything less than an A .
Sure — in real life the BioPond is kind of dingy, pot-friendly and often littered with pieces of trash. But that all changes when shot in soft-focus and set to a what sounds like a delicious piano/chimes/flute remix of "My Heart Will Go On." You'll see turtles, berries, bees and birds as the music soars to an inspiring crescendo in time with the flow of the sparkling water. Honestly, you just might want to relocate permanently. So next time you're stressed don't Buzzfeed, just BioPond.
