what do I do now? I have to repost this comment, so that I up my "fox kit" hits.

1. Ohhhh, glory glory guru deva om. Great glittering phalenopsis. Fox kits and leaded glass windows, batman. Does what it says on the box.
2. Ergo, how are you not a chick, Xavier? Should we get married?
3. Okay so what's "live projection" in practical terms, because I can only seem to understand it in psychological ones.

For a short film, it's a lovely tech demo.

Stunning visuals. I've never seen that technique before. I presume they use a projector and tailor make the animation for the subject, but wouldn't it be awesome if they actually doped the room to be a giant scintillator and flooded it with ionizing radiation?

(black light paint maybe?)

Indeed, it would be awesome.

I found I can read a few pages of Vimeo comments before despairing, and a ways down Chassaing mentions that he's working on a 'making-of' video. I'm on tenterhooks.

Saw this on Create Digital Motion last week. It really is fantastic and very inspiring.
