Alex Roman's The Third & The Seventh is a montage of enchanting slow motion shots of cameras, chairs, space shuttles, explosions, stairwells, bulbous water drops, and a trillion other things. It's all computer generated and will blow your mind. Watch!

In my opinion, this was more impressive than the CGI in "Avatar." If I hadn't known going in that it was all CGI, I would have thought it was real with some CGI thrown in. Amazing!

[I Buried My Guns]

Excellent, but I request more things exploding, please.

[al_c]

That’s incredible. Thanks for posting.

[Inwoodian]

Wow!

[Lurker]

For later.

[lack-of-trust]

absolutely amazing. unlike avator, you know what all the objects in this CGI film are supposed to look like. If you had not told me it was CGI, I would have assumed it was a film students A+ work using realy good resolution film cameras.

Wait a minute.

What I`m looking at was all created in a computer or were just the cameras being run on tracks programmed by people through a computer ?

I would like to hear an answer to the question also.

If it was ALL computer generated then it is really , really something....

[Para-Ord.45]

I guess it really is CG.

Here is a link that shows the wireframes:

James Cameron should hold a press conference, apologize for his laughable CGI cartoon looking CGI and announce his retirement because he just got BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER !!!

[Reaganesque]

According to the website, this is 100% CGI. It took him two years to produce.

[Para-Ord.45]

DAM!

Cameron just got PWNED !!!

[rottndog]

Damn....I didn’t want it to end....

This is scary good stuff....almost dangerously good stuff...I could see a point not so far off where it would take a good computer to determine if the images were real or CGI.

Very entertaining...but am I the only one that sees some nefarious potential here?

BTW...I love the music.

[Reaganesque]

Any technology has the potential for nefarious use. At some point in time, some politician or country, somewhere will try to use this against an opponent.

[Marine_Uncle]

Based on the URL link to Area it was all computer generated.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Amazing...I added the Hitech keyword...check out the teardown of the Nexus smartphone there....
