Take a hypnotic tour through the inside of wood (really!) courtesy of engineer/animator Brett Foxwell and musician/animator Conor Grebel. As Colossal notes, “Watching this full-screen in HD with sound makes all the difference.”
“Fascinated with the shapes and textures found in both newly-cut and long-dead pieces of wood, I envisioned a world composed entirely of these forms,” Foxwell told Colossal. “As I began to engage with the material, I conceived a method using a milling machine and an animation camera setup to scan through a wood sample photographically and capture its entire structure. Although a difficult and tedious technique to refine, it yielded gorgeous imagery at once abstract and very real. Between the twisting growth rings, swirling rays, knot holes, termites and rot, I found there is a lot going on inside of wood.”
