A constantly morphing abstract short by Dalena Tran. To wit:

Composed of a single take, “Incomplete” invites us to traverse an endless choreography of bodies in perpetual free-fall and updating images that reflect a world in constant change. This work is an ode to what artist and media theorist Hito Steyerl coins the “poor image.” The image which is collected, copied, and processed to the point of disorientation and anonymity. The image which is not one but consists of many while presenting a different perception of coherency.

Fair enough.

VFX/3D tutor Clinton Jones challenged his community of 3D artists to interpret a simple animation of a person walking with a heavy load. 2,400 entries were received and this reel – which almost seems to have its own strange narrative – contains the best 100. 

You can watch the entire two and a half hour roll of all 2,400 entries here, should you wish.

An interesting stop motion short by animator Corrie Franis Parks – a mesmeric shifting landscape of banknotes and miniscule stones. To wit:  

Between the dazzling layers of currency and sand lie connections that can be mined in infinite ways. Each person who views this film will unearth different associations filtered through their worldly experience and national background.

Make of it what you will.
