Great work! Actually I'd like to extend an invitation to you and anyone else out there doing this kind of film/video. I am charged with coming up with more content for our university's tv station. Obviously I want to show, fun creative things but don't have a budget. I'd love to play your work and anyone else interested. Please email me at ekc44@msstate.edu.

Subject: The metaphysical journey

These symbiont creatures arrived in the author's mind from far away. Quantum universes separate us from them, from these species, and their misty World. The metaphysical journey through space, time and thought, ends with this animation... Definitely inspiring.

what comes around goes around, give a little, take a little, see you on the way up, gonna take you down, if only we could meet in the middle, we always make our catch...

Subject: Interesting

The idea is quite interesting, but not entirely astonishing. Like some other reviewers said, it is hard to see a point in all this. Nevertheless, does there need to be a point in everything?

I do think that the authors of the animation deserve some recognition for their work. It is nice in some way. Could be longer...

Subject: Cool

Very nice animation quality, and I don't think this was meant to have much of any point. I see it as just a unique piece and an original concept. Rather short though.

Subject: Pointless

I agree, it's pointless at all.
Showing kind of "weight allocation".
Funny idea, but did not inspire me for further thinking

Great animation quality.

Subject: Freaky!

A pleasingly disturbing visit to an otherworldly biomechanical symbio-recursive relationship between .... well, just download it and you'll see.

Subject: Airheads

A fun, quirky little movie. Watch the feet of the creature as each head rises -- when the dominant head rises, that side attempts to go in its own direction, only to be pulled back to the exact same spot when the alternate head is dominant. Does this say frustration? Or am I just reading too much into a simple short?

Subject: very funny (and short)

I love this. it is funny and the download time is reasonable over a dsl because it is so short.
