Hecate's Tesseract and Robot Dance

Hello. I've got a couple of new videos out now. The first is "Hecate's Tesseract" which is a 3D animation exploring dimensions and movement:



The second is "Robot Dance" another 3D animation, this time inspired by William S. Burroughs. (Warning! Features exploding robots!):

Akira and Ozymandias

Today I found the full-length movie of Akira up on Google video. I hope this one is properly sanctioned by Google and doesn't get suddenly removed. If it does, well it's here to enjoy for now (remember buddhist meditation on impermanence? I suppose "Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley must be one of the greatest buddhist poems ever written, even if Shelley wasn't a buddhist as such).

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley:


I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said -- "two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lips, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my Works ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away." --

1984

Well, it seems to be gone. The link's not working anymore. I suppose this means Google hadn't santioned it in the first place. I can't say I'm surprised. One day, though. One day all movies and recorded music will be online for free. The production companies will make their profit by selling us the hardware and software and the internet connection and will thus be able to let us have all the content for free. It's beginning to happen and I'm sure it'll only be a few short years to complete the process.
