The Third and The Seventh is a short film done entirely in CG. In perfect, flawless computer animation. Maybe ten years of green-screen blockbuster have dulled you to the unimaginable complexity shown here; it represents no great leap forward from, say, the action scenes in GI Joe. But take a second to ponder what it means that one person can crystallize a seamless replication of reality with basic, widely available computer tools. Think about all the things we can know in a Google second, all the remote and impossible knowledge on display here. The physics of how jet trails dissipate in the atmosphere. What the anatomy of a bird wing looks like as it flaps. Indices of refractions on camera glass. The learning of generations, accumulated since we first agreed on a system of chicken-scratches, combed over and indexed by our elaborate machines for the benefit of our poor frail brains.
I'll even embed the video for you.
