Amoebae use their pseudopodia, or leg-like extensions, to move themselves through water.
Seeing Nicola Schauerman’s Becoming Starfish inspired this one, to progress the Ancient Mariner animation.
The documentary Crude was one of the movies available in most planes I have flown on lately. I have watched it three times now, and become increasingly interested in how the crude oil cycle might be animated.
The cycle of crude oil production starts in a carboniferous period, at the height of a global warming, when carbondioxide dominates the atmosphere. Plants proliferate. No animals can breathe the air. Drifting in the sea are billions of tiny organisms. Over billions of years they multiply, die and sink and to the ocean floor. They are compressed. And if conditions are just right, they become oil. At some time during this process, air-breathing creatures may evolve. If things are just right, some become human.
