Photo-realistic 3D animation is the most awesome technology. It makes 3D movies seem to ridiculously miss the point. Of course, there is still the challenge of integrating real people, but the potential is amazing.
This is a compositing breakdown of the astonishing Third & Seventh. It’s a great breakdown because I can’t seem to stop believing I’m looking at photographs. I love the fascination with depth of field lens effects. We will always tend to exaggerate what we are simulating.
Edvard Munch’s painting THE SCREAM comes to life to the sound of Pink Floyd’s THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY. There are many ways to express anxiety and emotional torment.
Initially I felt bad about splitting my guts laughing.
But then I watched SCREAM - WINTER VERSION (above).
(Yesterday there was a blackout to protest SOPA, an astonishingly foolish law that would make sure this video never happened, for so many copywrong reasons.)

Theatrical projection mapping, ie. a space is mapped in 3D, animations are created in the virtual scene space, and then projected onto the actual scene space - in this case, accompanied by actors.

For 3 years Denis Chapon drew 12 frames of animation every day. This was equal to 1 second of film. Each day, he’d take the 3 last drawings from the day before and keep on animating, drawing on the back side of used A4 paper.
Imaginative. Delightful. May make you grin. The sound work is exemplary as well.

“…measuring and visualizing movie data, in order to reveal the characteristics of films and to create a visual “fingerprint” for them. Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side.”

24 Hours of Neon. Las Vegas time lapse incorporating HDR (high dynamic range) images. Beautiful. Skillful. Philip Bloom.
The allegedly controversial and depressing Simpsons intro by Banksy. The running gag about Korean animation studios continues. Very funny.
