    Absolutely fantastic, the rendering is insane and the sound design is top. I would be very curious to watch a making of. I'm really impressed by the rendering, especially for the spiderweb, I'm wondering how you did that. Very great work.

    I can be honest and say i was deeply hurt by the moth's death - the immense detail and sound design is compelling - showing the internal, miniature, macro and external perspective is wonderful. maybe a praying mantis next ?

    Wow! That was incredible! Seriously great work! Props to you all... I actually took my breath away so much I was stunned and watched through the credits... first time Ive dont the in about a year!

    If you were to break down any sigle element of that I would watch it, modelling/rigging/texturing/particles/compositing... anything... or better yet put out a tute! Any plans of that? Or where can I go to see more info and vids?
