Download the full 1920x1080 HD video clip here: http://zfootage.com/drifting-dandelion-seeds-background This free motion background features dandelion seeds drifting downward from the top of the screen in front of a green background. The clip is designed to loop seamlessly so that you can make it however long you need it to be for your project. zFootage was created for the sole purpose of sharing free stock footage and free motion backgrounds. All of our videos are free for both personal and commercial use. All that we ask is that you use the videos as part of a project rather than re-uploading them as-is or repackaging, uploading or selling them as stock footage. Our hope is that you’ll use your creativity to turn them into something wonderful instead! The videos are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... Technically, that means that you should attribute them to us if you use them in your projects. However, we are pretty easy-going about the whole attribution thing. If you don’t want to clutter up your project with a note about where you got the footage, we totally understand. Our philosophy with these videos is that attribution is appreciated, but not required.

- Making the Best of It: Dandelion is a year-long series of site-specific pop up food refuges and community dinners that will span NS16-17. The project features climate-change enabled (and often unwanted) edible indicator species, in order to engage publics in tastings and conversation about the risks of climate chaos, our business-as-usual food system, and the short term food innovations at our disposal.
- Making the Best of It: Dandelion elected as its poster child the humble dandelion, Taraxacum officinale. Abundant, nutritious, adorable, symbolic, and disliked by lawn-owners, this invasive plant offers a model of eating and thinking about human and interspecies well-being on a variety of levels. It is highly adaptable, does well in disturbed ecosystems, and is of significant interest to a variety of species, from bees to our gut microbiome. In addition, its anatomical response to different environmental conditions makes it an interesting guide for exploring the complexity of climate instability.
- At Northern Spark 2016, a custom pop-up “refuge” will offer free servings of dandelion, in food and beverage forms, and accompanied by a graphical system of information, provocations, and recipes.
