Video resources

The following is a selection of very short useful videos I've created to demonstrate elementary hexagonal geometries, as well as some other crap:

• Constructing a Regular Hexagon - An olde-fashioned look at constructing a hexagon in the traditional manner.
• Phi - A rather cryptic demonstration of one of many ways to derive the golden ratio from hexagonal constructions. The very first proper Flash animation I ever made.
• Saturn Hexagon From Cassini - Infrared timelapse of the Saturn hexagon from Cassini - Created by NASA and in the public domain.
• A Series of Cubes - A brief video I made to demonstrate the principle of hex numbers being the difference between consecutive cubes. It's not a big truck.

Also, from Youtube:

• Triumph of the Hexagon - My flagship hexagon video, which I no longer particularly care for, but which is still interesting

Please also see our page of interesting videos, which features a small assortment of independently-made videos from Youtube that may or may not be of interest to the hexagonally-minded viewer.
