We then use these elements to create a video. Some of the recent submissions:

We have covered this territory before but never in this detail.

Watch it.

Now mind you, I love digital cinema. But I can’t resist falling in love with this problem-solving animation technique. A great example is that light thingee used to create the inside of the HBO bronze structure. Brilliant, it is engineering and filmmaking melded into one.

I miss this kind of animation. There is always a touch of madness. In this case, madness is everywhere. It is cathartic, like an excursion to all of potential rage possible within a being. Don’t miss this classic, a mix between sci-fi noir (Blade Runner-like) and Akira.

Watch Part one & two.
