i love alexander rutterford - animation
just look at it with your eyes.
saw the last ten seconds on 120 minutes on mtv2 ages ago, forgot who did it, then much to my joy found the stills in my lovely copy of motion blur by onedotzero. I love the animation, it's absolutely amazing! i can't really imagine how it was done, definately includes 3d modeling. i think i read in the interview with alexander rutterford that each frame was rendered individualy.
a big mutating abstract thing in the middle of nothingness in perfect time to music. phwaor.
i also like another film by him, a personal project called 3space, which i'll discuss here later on, once i can find some stills / video to refer to.
He also did a video for radiohead, "go to sleep" which also contains some amazing 3d modeling and animation.
This one contains more of a narrative as it's less abstract then the Autechre video, it contains recognizable elements such as people and buildings, but still retains that weird abstract 3d edge. the people don't seem human and the buildings crumble and come back together again, something they don't really do in reality.
Although i love both of the videos i've discussed, i prefer the video for autechre. i'm amazed by the graphics, and how it's synchronized so well with the music. i really can't imagine how it was done, probably because i have no clue about 3d modeling yet, but if i could do anything even slightly like it, i'd be very, very happy.

i was very impressed with the timing and the 3d modeling of Autechre, but would have been more impressed if it had evolved into somthing rather than expanding and contracting.
i prefer that it stays an abstract object, something unrecognizable. i think if it transformed into a car or something it would become a bit boring. I think this is interesting to watch because it's detached from everyday forms, it's an unpredictable object, with a recognizeable object we can imagine and predict what it's going to do, with this you're wondering what the hell is going on all the way through!
