If you like this, I recommend "The Films of Charles & Ray Eames" a 6-DVD set. It has some very good stuff, including Powers of Ten, the original scratch take of the film, plus tours of their studio/workshop, the project around cataloging all their stuff for the Library of Congress, their films about Thomas Jefferson (or was it Paine?) and Ben Frankin, and many other things. The coolest husband/wife engineering duo in that golden age of American ingenuity that sat in the middle span of the 20th century. Same crowd of people as Bucky Fuller, Frank Lloyd Wright, Feynman, the early NASA guys, the early IBM guys, etc., same awesome super-saturated 8mm film. Neato. The film about 901 in Venice, CA is one of the best SOUNDING things I've ever seen/heard.
