LOOM

I came across this amazing work of art a few months ago via Bug Girl's blog. For some reason, I didn't repost it then, but here it is, now. You'll definitely want to make this full-screen:



Tip of my hat to directors Jan Bitzer, Ilija Brunck, Csaba Letay and their technical team. I was really surprised about at many anatomical details they got right, like the spigots of the spinnerets, for example. This is  an artistic interpretation of what a predator/prey situation is like for most spiders, but it does give a really interesting, intimate look into how the process of envenomation and silk production works. The video took the team an entire year to produce, but it was worth the effort. Check out their website for more information on Loom, as well as other videos produced by Polynoid.
