WGBH goes miscellaneous

The WGBH Lab lets anyone download and mash video clips from their archive. And they'll air and post some of the results. The clips whose rights have been cleared (now licensed via Creative Commons) are here. Click on the categories and you'll find some pretty cool videos, including of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, scientifical animations, and ants eating a caterpillar.

Thanks for pointing to this.

My wife and I actually used a lot of these clips along with some other Creative Commons music and photos to create this mashup called "The Great Turning."
