As a 3D Animation major, I thought I'd use the music video for Beast - "Mr. Hurricane" (http://www.vimeo.com/3017488) that was featured on FEED (www.feedhere.com).
I chose to focus on this video because it uses multiple techniques that we're learning and that I recognize. For instance, the bees that make up the person (and other such objects) are 3d objects and particles in Maya (or 3dSMax for you Mac folk). However, some scenes feature bees that were obviously added in After Effects (and, quite honestly, are simply black ovals flying across the screen). The video itself also underwent treatment in either FCP or AE to get the old-movie style flickering and the all-around "grunge" feeling.
I find motion pieces like this very inspiring because they utilize things we already know and are capable of doing already. I thought I understood a fair amount of Maya, Final Cut, and After Effects already, but this video makes me realize how much more there is to know and master. I think it's important to recognize the complexity and power of the tools we have at our disposal!
