This animation was entered in the January-August 1999
Internet Ray-Tracing Competition for the theme of
Gadgets and Odd Devices.
This was my fifth animation, in which I tried using more surface detail and
fewer objects, unlike the Toys animation, which relied on more objects to
get the sense of detail across. I am quite happy with the results.
The idea behind the animation was inspired by such things as Deep Thought
in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and a wry sense of irony.
Parts of it go by pretty fast, but all things considered, this is for the
best.
