I am now in process of producing my own series of shorter videos on related subjects. Here is my very first attempt, as posted on YouTube. I'm working on my second today.
A blog for clarifying and continuing the findings that were published in Camoupedia: A Compendium of Research on Art, Architecture and Camouflage, by Roy R. Behrens (Bobolink Books, 2009).

Free online video / The Hidden Story of Camouflage
I was so fortunate to appear in this wonderful film—titled RAZZLE DAZZLE: The Hidden Story of Camouflage—produced in Australia in 2019. It was fascinating to be interviewed for it, and to spend an extended time in Australia. It's now available online as a free documentary here.

nature, art and camouflage / duplicitous uses of color
Now available online is a new 32-minute documentary video titled NATURE, ART AND CAMOUFLAGE: Duplicitous Uses of Color at <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCH4DlyKahM>. It is a richly illustrated overview of four kinds of camouflage (blending, countershading, mimicry, and disruption), with examples of their common occurrence in nature, as well as their adoption as wartime deception strategies. A central aspect of the film is the involvement of artists in studies of both military and zoological camouflage, especially Abbott H. Thayer and Norman Wilkinson. A more recent, second video on ART, WOMEN'S RIGHTS, AND CAMOUFLAGE is accessible online at well.
