looks like Ubuweb, the site where I got the full video of Calder's Circus,has been HACKED! FOr now you can't open the video link in my last post. Instead, click here for a shorter, edited version. It's still fun to watch.

i love this circus thing! its so cool! I wish i could play with it/ watch him do it for real. it is so crazy how he got all of those things to work together and he had like little gears and wheels to use so he wast always touching the figures themselves- the mechanics of it are incredible. and i love how he performs in "his french", i think that is great too!

I love his creativity and his overall approach to it the circus. My favorite part is about halfway through when it shows the dolls moving slowly on the red circle, I like this because it looks like they're falling off the side of something in slow motion then once it zooms out you see they're tumbling. It was very well filmed and creative.

This circus show was so cool! It was so clever, especially the weight lifter and the people carrying out the stretcher. I really loved the first horse that went around the ring and then a person dropped down onto its back. You could tell that Caulder was really enjoying himself while playing with his figures. It made him seem very kid-like and I thought that was nice. Overall, I really liked this. I thought his creativity and skill were impeccable.

i'm going to be completly honest, i avoided watching the video because i thought it wouldn't be that interesting. but i was wrong! it was really cool, especially the entire circus thing. i thought that the horse was pretty cool too. it's amazing to know that he created all these things with his hands.

When I first began to watch the video I thought it was going to be extremely boring, but it turned out to be one of the cutest and most creative things ever. I'm amazed at this creativity and the way he was able to put on little shows and enjoy himself, and even make people laugh. He kind of reminded me of a little boy playing with toys, it was just so adorable.

That was one of the most creative things i have ever seen. The way he made the peoples legs and feet move like they were doing it themselves looked very cool. My favorite part by far was the horse in the circus and the figure riding. His work is incredible and amazing.

I really enjoyed the whole video and thought that the circus was really funny. I liked the horse at the beginning. I really liked how easy it was to tell that Calder was enjoying himself while playing with his sculptures. Most of them were really funny and creative. I ended up enjoying the movie more than I thought I would, and it was cool to really see who Calder is, especially after seeing his exhibit.

At first, I kinda put off the video, because I thought it might be a little boring, but I'm happy to say I was surprised. I didn't expect to be interested in it. It took an amazing amount of creativity, time, and dedication to create something like that, making inanimate objects animate.

I really liked the wild west scene at the beginning, and how Calder could make the animals move. He seemed like a little kid, playing with toys and using his imagination. It was funny how he would use different voices for different characters. It's amazing how everything was so complex yet worked together so well. I also liked how he was performing for the audience, so you could hear their reactions to everything he was doing. Overall, I really liked the video, and thought it was really creative and well done.

I must admit, before I watched this I was a bit turned off, but Calder and his circus are so creative and adorable. Even at his age, Calder has an immense imagination and a care for details. This entire performance was executed tremendously well and it truly is amazing and spectacular to watch.

Calder was truly a talented artist. His sculptures really come alive. While I was watching the video, I thought of the sculptures we made with wire and I realized there is alot more you can do with wire. I think my favorite was the horse running around in a circle and the horseman jumping on top of the horse. That was genius!

I really liked this video. I like how you could tell Calder put a lot of time in to each one of the sculptures, and making sure each one of them worked exactly as it was supposed to. My favorite part was the man riding the horse. I liked this video a lot more than i expected.

I thought it was really cool and interesting how he created the horse going around on the wheel in a circle. It looks like he spent a lot of time on every detail and was able to figure out how to move the horse without actually touching it. Cool video!
