I think that these two guys Mayec Rancel & José Angel Soto done very well. Especially it is empressing when you know what kind of hardware they've used (a Dell Precision 370 Workstation, an older 2GHz computer, and one prehistoric 1GHz comp) Such a feat is very impressing and inspiring, it really make you think that man can do alot despite of conditions - wish is important.
I really like the quality of the graphics it, I would describe it as frostily beatiful. Not too much elements, only those which has a specific function to communicate the idea.

On the description there is written that creating the "eye" was one of the most challanging tasks in this project. I could say that especially this part was the strongest one, though rest is was made one te very good level. It is a pleasure to watch and hear this work.
It is always very interesting to read different description and get the idea how something been achieved. There is always something to highligh for your own practise.

Hi!

Glad you enjoyed the film so much, as well as the article. I would just like to add something: that the hardware (or even the software) don't matter much. They are just tools. What matters most is the artist, his skills, and his will. If you want to say something, you can always find a way to express it, the pnhysical and technical limtiations don't matter much. That's just my oppinion.

Cheers from Madrid!
