French Abstract CG PieceStarts out slow but really develops. A great mix of sound, visuals, and that damn je ne se quoi! (Qtime Embed)

Love the look but find the story a bit trite.

Really cool, I especially liked the audio. Thanks for that.

I was really suprised they held off going all the way IDM until half way through. I enjoyed the blobby blue bits.

Yeah, I was liking it for the first 5 minutes or so, and then when it was anthropomorphosized, it lost a little bit for me. I've seen too much of this sort of thing lately...

It stopped d'ling for me halfway through for some reason..
I loved the look, awesome stuff. Yeh that kind of narrative bores me a bit.. I wont bother trying to get the second half to work.

Reminds me of Autechre's "Gantz Graf" video.

Quicktime plugin? No thanks.

I liked it a lot. The way the blocks recovered so efficiently from the block dude's wailings creeped me out satisfyingly. The noises were perfect. Thanks Mr Bluesky.

That was great. Thanks.

... can you really complain about quicktime plugins anymore? I think quicktime has entered the exclusive list of Plugins You Need Or Else The Internet Sucks, along with Flash and Windows Media.

Thanks for the link, I enjoyed it, even if the narrative was thin.

Ditto what redteam said, i'm pretty sure the way the lines flashing in and out were synced to the audio was made using the same lightwave plugin.

Still hold's it's own though.

Narrative or [mostly] not, the look in itself was more than enough to make me love this film.

p.s. does anyone happen to know if the person behind the audio has a site or anything?
