I’ve really enjoyed watching the short animations of Cristóbal Vila. Over the past few years he has put out a whole series of interesting short animated videos. His visuals are always striking and dynamic, using a continuous panning and zooming effect. They are mostly done using 3D modeling software but the textures and lighting are masterfully executed. The music is tasteful and the message is always illuminating. These are suitable for repeated viewing. Enjoy!

— Music by Wim Mertens – “Often a bird”
from the album “Jardin Clos”, 1996
There is a great write-up for this one in the On Being blog. It’s entitled “Mathamatics In Sunflowers“. They found this video helpful when trying to visualize the role of mathematics in nature, and other abstractions…
Finally, another one of my favorites is Cristóbal’s 2005 work inspired by Persian Architecture.
