Thanks, everyone, for giving me that reaffirmation that I was looking for. I guess work's overnights really does get to me sometimes.

Here, I've got something I just HAVE to show you. It's a short film called "The Third and the Seventh", and I want you to watch this. It's slow, but it's relaxing and I found it to be just an incredible piece of work with some incredible focus pulls/depths. I would highly recommend clicking-through to the Vimeo website just so that you can watch it in High-Def and fullscreen.

Now. That was all done in CG. I knew that going into the film and yet, it took me about halfway through to realize that it was computer-generated. I'm astounded. Really, I can't really put words to this, it's just a wonderful, completely relaxing, piece of work that is just fascinating to watch.

Alright, well that was goddamned amazing. :) I wish we hadn't had to click through to see HD; I didn't read the description until about a minute in (I had to drop out of fullscreen to answer an IM) and I honestly couldn't believe it at first. I didn't suspect it at ALL. Completely amazing! Thanks for sharing :D

I had completely forgotten that it was all CG, and then when it clicked, I was like "no fscking way!" and then I pretty much watched with my mouth agape the rest of the time.

By the way, there's a short compositing video (http://vimeo.com/8200251) that shows a couple of the scenes that were shot. I'm still amazed. Reality is being overshadowed by virtuality!

"Reality is being overshadowed by virtuality!"

You mean for everyone and not just furries this time? :D

Man, that compositing video is just crazy. X3 There must be just so much that you need to have a sense for to get this all right...

Yeah. nods As technology and techniques develop, images get better and better. That's how it was with paint and how it is with CGI. I started wondering when the building "opened it's wings." (I suppose IRL it's technically possible, but why?) It's a cool movie anyway. The music reminded me of LoTR, (which I liked a lot, too.)
