Giant Bubbles

This video is just awesome. No two ways about. Science stuff: 1) the bubbles are multicolored due to the different film thicknesses scattering the different wavelengths of light to different degrees like a prism and 2) you can see when the bubbles pop that the film is trying to minimize is surface area to volume ratio. A bubble has a very large surface area to volume ratio, while a droplet has a very low surface area to volume ratio.
