From a Bird's Eye View is a 1970 ATV and ITC Entertainment co-produced sitcom. In the United States it aired on NBC, which had originally ordered the series as an entry in the 1969-70 TV season but pushed it back to the 1970-71 season as a mid-season replacement. The series followed two International Airlines stewardesses, a scatterbrained Briton and a savvy American, as they flew the London-European routes. The series ran for 16 25-minute colour episodes. The series was not a big success in either the UK or the US, but ITC re-used the format for the Shirley MacLaine series Shirley's World. That show also flopped, but ran to one more episode than From a Bird's Eye View.

A precursor to Lucier's later works, in which light is used as metaphor, Bird's Eye is an evocative formalist exercise in which Lucier explores light in relation to the material properties of video. Aiming a laser directly at the camera's eye, she burned the vidicon tube. Changing the focal length of the lens and moving the laser, she records the optical effect of the camera's light perception and absorption. The resulting configurations, accompanied by Alvin Lucier's electronic score Bird and Person Dyning, become an abstract calligraphy of light. Lucier's technology-based, visual records of refraction and reticulation refer to the Impressionists' empirical observations of changes in light over a measured period of time.

When the perfect life of a pet parrot is suddenly interrupted, it has to navigate a new world when it can no longer understand the humans around it.

With over 15 years of research into the various facets of the mysterious phenomena of UFOs and alien abductions. Bird's Eye View blows the lid off of a huge government cover-up: we are the guinea pigs in a cosmic chess game, and the victims on our own planet of the lies of our leaders! Armed with shocking footage donated by Greenpeace, PETA, In Defense of Animals, and other animal rights and environmental groups, Clare makes a compelling case for the need for drastic change in our treatment of other species on our planet; the need for awareness, empathy and compassion.

Man has always tried to imitate the flight of birds. For millennia, however, this dream was shattered under the weight of the laws of gravity and unsuccessful experiments.

At the first news of the disast by cyclone and tidal wave that devastated Galveston on Saturday, September 8th, 1900, we equipped a party of photographers and sent them by special train to the scene of the ruins. Arriving at the scene of desolation shortly after the storm had swept over the city, our party succeeded, at the risk of life and limb, in taking about a thousand feet of motion pictures, although Galveston was under martial law and photographers were shot down at sight by the excited police. The series, taken as a whole, gives a definite idea of the most terrible disaster since the Johnstown flood of 1889.
