Moving Architecture
I've seen two amazing architectural visualization animations lately. This one is an affectionate and elegant tribute to Louis Kahn's Exeter Library. I particularly like the structural shots with the empty bookshelves, the missing books scatter about and fill the space at the end.
This second piece is by an artist who works on architectural viz as his day job. Gabe Askew created this extra lovely fan video for Grizzly Bear.

MTV and Joy Division Generative
Some really interesting logo IDs made for MTV Brazil by Piloto.tv and dmtr.org. These were created entirely in Processing, essentially a Java toolset for motion artists to create generative work.
Inspired, I made a speculation on an audio visualizer and installation based on the album cover design for Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. I have always wanted to see the seminal design by Peter Saville animate. When I found a random preset in Form (a Trapcode plugin for After Effects) and tweaked it to react to a live audio source, I simply geeked out. There are no keyframes in the graphic, and although I used "She's Lost Control" as the soundtrack, any music or audio source will work.
