Alex Roman’s The Third & The Seventh

This is perhaps one of the most beautiful short films I have ever seen. Oh, and the entire thing is animated. Alex Roman’s animated piece “tries to illustrate architecture across a photographic point of view.” The Third & The Seventh is super surreal and I suggest you click through to watch the video in full-screen. This channels a similar vibe as Ron Fricke’s non-narrative movie Baraka. It’s not just a cool idea that everything here is animated, the actual movie is pretty captivating, with amazing directing and great music (sequenced, orchestrated, mixed by Roman but based on original scores by Michael Nyman and Camille Saint-Saëns).

**oops correction, some non-animated elements. Explained in the comments: “I think i must make it clear. There are a few non-CG elements in the shortfilm: photographer (shot on greenscreen), pigeons, timelapsed growing flowers, flying airplane and sky backgrounds.”

Made using 3dsmax, VRay, AfterEffects and Premiere. Heads up to Eileen for showing me this!
