Plot Synopsis: It's a music video. There's not much of a plot. However, you might construe a message about 'spreading the word' and all of that, if you look closely.
Notes: A carefully programmed and scripted music video, completely rendered in POV-Ray. Some live action video was recorded digitally and piped into the renderer. The entire video is being made available for free as an internet download. Please see below for more details.
Screen Shots: Screen shots may be found in our photo gallery.
Sound Track: The music for this video is Malex's Horizon 2.1, and was originally featured on Surreality.

Yes, I know...
I'm perfectly aware that this video is repetitive... It is entertaining, and it's an excellant start.
The interesting bit about this music video is the fact that I wrote a huge program to manage the computer animation. It gave the POV-Ray scripts access to the current time in the animation, measure in the song, beat of the measure, and various other fractions of time.
That gave the render manager random access to the appropriate frame for any instant in the song, which gave us the very highest possible quality of synchronization.
By the way, if I can find the originals of this video, we'll put together an iPod version.

Streaming Video Updates
During an audit of the media system I discovered a few minor problems with this streaming video's scaling and aspect ratio. While fixing the problem I took the opportunity to upgrade the resolution of the streaming video. So if you're bored, check this video out again and see it at a quality never before seen by human eyes!
Or, you know, do something else...
