    Anyone else recognize the Muybridge animals? I used that Buffalo as reference during my second year animating. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/24/Muybridge_Buffalo_galloping.gif

    This is real pretty watercolor work in video.
    But, I have to ask for a moratorium on using curvy waves to give a dramatic sense of depth. I have been guilty of this too but I think it’s an overused trope.

    Beautiful video!

    But it’s hard to believe that the beauty, complexity, and diversity could be created without intelligence behind it.

    Actually, it’s not hard at all, if one is scientifically literate.

    This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing, John!

    One can. But, as far as science is concerned, an intelligence is superfluous for everything but the unravelling.
