Stunning Computer Animated Film

Alex Roman created this wonderful, completely animated film named The Third & The Seventh. This is truly a piece of art.
After watching this I wonder when an average computer will be able to render pictures and animations as realistic as these in real time.

Watch the film in HD or take a look at some stills below.

A Scanner Darkly

A Scanner Darkly — the movie adaption of Philip K. Dick‘s great novel.

What does a scanner see? I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner … see into me — into us — clearly or darkly? (Bob Arctor, A Scanner Darkly)

Great dystopian novel and fantastic movie adoption. Be sure to read and watch this semi-autobiographical story P. K. Dick wrote in 1977 about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did as he later puts it and make up your own mind.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Corinthians 13, Verses 9-12, King James Version)

Spacializer — Spherical Sound Clouds

Spacializer is a flash animation of slowly moving clouds of different colors by Sébastien Chevrel, an artist, designer and programmer focusing on interactive media.

The animation itself creates a faint background noise when left alone. Moving your mouse cursor above different colors and the spots where different colors mix results in changing sounds all very spherical. Great for the intro to your next sci-fi flick.
