When I started watching this animated PSA against global warming, I was taken with the realistic and ever-so-slightly anthropomorphic animals whose lives are affected by climate change, but the short soon takes a rather shockingly disturbing turn.
Directed by Arvind Palep for 1st Avenue Machine in New York, and set to the ethereal music of Alias, this captivating video features a garden filled with flowers, plants and other flora with oddly real (and surreal) mechanical parts. A blending of the organic and synthetic, I can’t help but sense a bit of foreshadowing. See the entire “Sixes Last” video HERE.
If you were even only slightly impressed with the previous example of computer-generated water, then this link is going to blow your socks off. David sends this link in to Flowline. Watch both videos on the site for some truly astonishing fluid dynamics. Besides… there’s a shark!
Some of the most realistic looking CG water yet. The video was created by Ron Fedkiw, Assistant Professor at Stanford Computer Science, whose research areas include computational fluid dynamics and computer graphics.
