The Third and The Seventh a Film by Alex Roman

            One of my favorite things every morning is to wake up and find out the latest amazing, helpful or artistic "thing of the moment" that my housemate/love has found. Today he showed me this beautiful short film using CG technology in a very interesting and creative way to create a this fantasy world, based on famous architecture and nature. With the popularity of Avatar and other films using CG, I've been curious to see how it will evolve. I especially love the segment with the cherry blossoms reflected into a the pond.  There are many details to notice in the film, including brief flash moments where you see the "bones" of each design in Autocad rendering form. The project took a year to create, which is amazing considering the amount of work that went into creating this.  The artist who is responsible for the concept and images is Alex Roman. Since posting this a month ago, the video has been watched over 500,000 times. His website is currently down do to overload on the server, view it now here on Vimeo by clicking the play button below, but I suggest you watch it full screen to get the full effect.
