The inherent kinetic qualities are brought into actuality in GYROMORPHOSIS, as seen in the construction-sculpture of Constant Nieuwenhuys of Amsterdam. To realize this aim I have put into motion, one by one, pieces of this sculpture and, with color lighting, filmed them in various detail, overlaying the images on the film as they appear and disappear. In this way I have hoped to produce sensations of acceleration and suspension which are suggested to me by the sculpture itself. - Hy Hirsh

Tops (1969) is as much a "toy" film as it is an "ideas" film. It shows mankind of all races and places playing with a single simple toy. The unity of humanity comes through in a way that is utterly pleasurable and absolutely unforgettable. The cast comprises 123 tops from countries all over the world. "Tops" epitomizes the Eames' ability to convey complex ideas - in this case, ideas about the physics of motion and the universal nature of tops. Included is a wonderful moment of comprehension when a simple tack, thrown onto a drawing board, spins and is suddenly seen as a top.

Eames夫妇的1957年版的《陀螺》，后来这对夫妇又又在1969年拍了一部同名的短片。
