"Reflections+Expressions+Delusions" by Ryan Michael Hisey

On the surface, Reflections + Expressions + Delusions is a beautiful “animated painting”, depicting a laid-back afternoon drive along the highway. At it’s core, this piece is an experiment in audio influenced imagery, where every parameter in the animation is mathematically controlled by the individual sounds and instruments in the music. The result is sensory overload, sending the viewer’s mind into daydreams of colored sound.

"Attack of the Killer Cicadas" by Jeff Barklage

A trailer for a movie that was never made...but should have been!
