If you’re tired of thinking about government agencies having access to your phone conversations and social network activity, while geolocating your mobile devices, just relax for a minute. There are still beautiful things in the world that we’ve created with our computers. Like this film, “Hinode.”

VFX artist and filmmaker Tetsuka Niiyama says:

This is a CG movie that depicts saltation and growth of life in the sea using jewelry as the motif for illustrating the theme “Jewels of Sea.” It creates mystifying and attractive scenery by the ores resembling creatures of sea and its transforming refraction and reflection of light that are affected by the organic moves.
