Congratulations, stunning visuals and audio.

Yeah, this is the stuff I dreamed of making when I was into motion graphics and video editing. Congrats!

Also, way to stick to your guns and post it on vimeo over youtube.

Wow, that is incredible. About how long does it take to develop a video like that?

I really liked that part of the IO. Which technologies did you use for it ?
MasterScrat
What other tools did you use to make this?

Very cool. I liked the Androids in the orbit[1] bit.

Is there a "making of" post or video? How do you start? Are those objects, like the bridge, taken from real photographs? What tools are you using?

I'm in the process of producing a breakdown video that will give some insight into the process. The software used for line drawing and rendering was Houdini by Side Effects Software.

On a slight tangent.

Regarding the Houdini software used to make this, the Apprentice licenses ( http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=... ) give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Free to use with option lower resolution output plus a $99 / year "Starving Artist" (good name) option for higher output resolutions suitable for portfolios is a great great way to foster a community and make it easy to get into.

Seems like your website is down. Mind linking directly to the video?
albiabia
Sorry about that. I wasn't anticipating so much traffic. It should be back and stronger than ever.

Definitely cool... processing also looks interesting for dataviz.
