Animation

Tomohiro Okazaki is an extraordinary stop-motion animator from Japan. Here's a ton of his matchstick work edited together:

This is an excellent track and a wonderful video. The song is by Blake Mills and the animation is by Lachlan Turczan, who says, "I made hi-resolution scans of banknotes from 23 countries ranging from the 1800s to the modern-day."

Watch at full screen.

Turczan continues, "Machine learning was used to further enhance these scans so that I could zoom in on the intricacies of the engravings. Using replacement animation techniques, the guilloché patterns wash over the viewer in a barrage of linework and geometry. Iconic scenes throughout history are also shown: the age of exploration leads to industrialization, wonders of the world are replaced by office buildings and icons of freedom stand in stark contrast to images of slavery. The project culminates with the collective eyes of all world leaders staring back at the audience."

Selfies is a short animation by Claudius Gentinetta. Might be a bit bleak for some and might not be safe for work if cartoon imagery offends your higher-ups.

Not much to add beyond the title.
