Plants With Eyes

A strangely disturbing video. The computer graphics are so hyper-realistic that it's easy to think these plants are real. I was uncertain for a while until I did some research and learned that it's a video created by animation studio 1st Avenue Machine. Their website states that they create "high end design work by employing 3D in ways that blur the line between what we perceive as real and impossible." The music is "Sixes Last" by Alias.

Hey, this is old!

It freaked me right out when I first saw it.

I actually thought it might have been time lapsed film of exposed barnacle type sea creatures until I got further into the film where a few of the...things...were more obviously mechanical.

Thanks for figuring out where it came from, it's been driving me nuts all this time.
