François, the song is Breathe me sung by Sia...it's the ending song of six feet under serie

And Alex, the animation is wonderful, congratulations

It's beautiful.

Stunning, well concieved and executed. How did you make the hairs curl only at the ends?

Very nice visual and lighting effects, I like how the music came into full effect after the explosion

Super great work! This is beautiful!

Awesome animation work and the blending with the music is spot on! Well done.

Amazing. I like the graphical style.

Lovely! Amazing job Alex. Gongratulations!

Inspirational piece, really wicked.

beautiful work!

cool

Sweet :)

Cool graphics

Very nice animation ! I am far far away from your level...

omfg...its great...fantastic...i saw this video and "began to cry"

pretty awesome. thanks for the hard work.

intelligently designed for sure a lovely creation :)

amazing; I am sitting here in shock; and am now wathcing again. plz make more; thank you;

I don't understand this at all. At first I thought it was an intracellular carrier protein walking along the cytoskeleton...and then my understanding was reduced to nothing--there's some sort of spout, the thing grows longer legs, absorbs from the spout...jumps down...and explodes?

What.

A beautiful piece of art, wonderful!

I love the way the fibers bounce as the microbe struts it's stuff. Great visuals with an excellent track. Although it was a bit 2-dimensional with left to right movement, could have used more exchange of foreground-to-background motion.

Pretty video. Added it to one of my groups. The track makes me think about the final scene of six feet under, then I want to slit my wrists (JUST KIDDING !). Anyways. Very nice

Beautiful work! I like the colors - very sublime and soft, the lighting - like in old films and the sound.

I agree with Mr. RobLikesBrunch, I don't get it. It especially makes little sense at the very end, because I don't see how it relates to evolution, revolution, persecution, or solution. I don't know, maybe it's because you didn't have time to make it long or well thought out, or maybe because it's almost 3am here and I'm tired. Visually, of course, it looks cool! I like the timing of the music as well. Some of the looping sounds are kind of distracting because I can hear the end of the clip.

I loved the postprod work on this!
two thumbs up!

Right, it was very pretty and beautifully crafted. However, allow me to give you my honest opinion.

The song isn't yours, and that's OK. But i have heard that song so many times, so listening to it again, kinda puts me off. It's like when you repeatedly hear a Hans Zimmer song used in a movie. It should only be used once.
It somehow takes some of the magic away from the visual part of this clip.

I think, if the film ended approximately after the first Evolution in the left middle. It would have been better. I just don't get the -oution part.

Apart from that, it is again, very beautiful and highly detailed. You've obviously taken a lot of time creating it, and you deserve all the praise i can give.

Its very much like the "Fountain." Last scene where Hugh Jackman evolves.

detailed and amazing. like this one very much

Very beautiful.

I don't get it, but it's beautiful...

I agree. I didn't get it, but it's very beautiful.

Amazing graphics. The words at the end don't help the movie tho. I agree with Mike, it should have ended at Evolution.

we published you beautiful video in artepick.tv with your credits...

Thanks and congratulions!!

Yeh not sure how it ties to the words but a beautiful piece of art and good choice of music.

Could you maybe explain your understanding of it to us please? It is beautiful, but I don't understand. not because I am not creative or something, I just don't.

what do you edit with?

A bit surprised at the "I don't get it".

Artists should not have to explain their work, but here is one take on this excellent vid.

The tag line reads: Evolution. Revolution. Prosecution. Solution....
The last is really a question to be pondered.

The journey of the "Protein" begins with immobility. It "evolves" legs giving it minimal locomotion. It meets and exchanges characteristics with the first tall static grass like object. Due to the height disparity it is perceived as benign i.e. not a threat. The exchange creates "revolution" a highly mobile, tall protein.

It meets the second grass like object and is perceived to be a threat, likely based on height and locomotion. It is attacked (Prosecuted) if you will for being different. It is driven backwards, falls, explodes and dies. The evolved protein in the foreground witnesses this fate of destruction.

The tag line simply sums up the action presented, and asks the viewer Solution……

great music, nice graphics composition, well done :-)

impressive!
Alex, please tell us, what the music?

Congrats for the award

Cool worck

this is gorgeous

This is quite visually stunning; but I can't get my hands on the meaning... what is the explosion and why does the hairy ball go back to having short legs?

absolutely stunning.

from september 2010 on i will hopefully be studying in the class where he did the design..was in the uni yesterday and this work is all they could talk about :)it really is awesome-hopefully one day i can do something as nearly as good :)
