adrianclark drew my attention to it - it's a fan-made computer animated video for Rush's track YYZ. Most of which is a faithful animation of Neal Peart playing the drum part.
Keeping the model simple, and using different cameras, pull focus, sun flare and so on to keep the interest; very well done. Beautiful movement.
Having done some this type of work I'm pretty sure some of the stuff that looks difficult is easy, some of the stuff you don't even notice (but would if it wasn't there) is almost impossible.
I've been bouncing around the idea of rendering my graphic novel script using Poser for Mac, and am pretty sure that the real pain is not the base models or the actual general posing, but getting the faciak expressions right.
