Hiya folks,
I've just finished working on a new short with a number of other people with the brief of making clasical music appeal to the younger generation. Its a bit of a big download (19mb) and you'll need quicktime to view it:

Pug.
I'm only twenty and it appealed to me. Though, it's a bit of a cheat, since that's my favorite kind of music.
In all honesty though, this is an enjoyable piece that moves in a strong parallel along with the music and its many subtle (not to mention well-used) changes. The motivation to produce (or duplicate) the animation that you did, and by that I mean the selections you've made for animations that illustrate a particular rhythm works in concert with the music, and they really help each other out. To me the source work is obviously flawless, but what you did is illustrate many impressive or visually absorbing things without making it noise and distracting, you made it interesting compositing while still just very subtle, so half of my entertainment was the music, and half was watching the life of the thing unfold.
Very modern....
If I would change anything, the opening all-blue machinery looks a little watched out from the lights at certain angles, and (if this is even what you were going for) the ker-chunk looks of the assembly-line process don't have any equally industrial noise along with them.....but maybe the beauty of the entire thing is that we are to observe the creative rhythm versus the destructive molding, so that it fits with the rest of the piece.
Three cheers,
Vincent
