woah! for a second there that video got me going. *silly grin*
All those freaky looking "eyes" and "tentacles" were giving me the goosebumps.

Thanks again Corwin.

Yeah, when I first started watching it, I believe it to be real, and yet as I sat there amazed I kep wondering how could something this amazing escape my attention all these years. Then there was part that looked CGI, and I figured it out from there.

Very well done animation.

Wonderful. I thank you for bringing that to my(our) attention. Those folks are doing fantastic work. I found it invoking new spokes/tangents of thought in me.

Wow. That's one freaky-deaky video. At first I thought it was real, but about 1/4 of the way into it I realized that it was CGI. Cool stuff!
