Mesmerizing LEGO Animations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ubik's 'Voxel' Film for the T5 Festival is Ecotastic

— May 17, 2009 — Art & Design
This mesmerizing stop-motion short film is called 'Voxel' and it's made by Ubiq for the T5 Festival in New York. The film uses LEGO-like cubes to replicate precipitation, the ocean and an undersea colony of coral.

While I'm a huge fan of stop-motion films in general, I particularly love how Ubiq's 'Voxel' characterized water and other organic objects using manmade cubes. It's a stunning parallel that only adds to the power of the short film.
