If you're an animator, you should challenge yourself to take up this pet-project: re-do the video below, so that the visuals are actually awesome instead of lame. This clip is a clever little visualization of a speech/routine/lecture by Alan Watts, called "Music and Life." The content and philosophy takes a turn for the simple & cynical, but by the end of it, makes a beautiful analogy I hadn't considered before.

This clip is "produced by" the South Park guys (Trey Parker and Matt Stone), but I put "produced" in quotes because all that means is their money and name is behind it, not their actual work and ideas and efforts. Nonetheless, the video make a deft comparison between the end of a musical score and the culmination of a life well-lived, and it made me stop at the end of the video and stare at the screen for about 20 seconds before moving onto other things. That kind of pause is, like, Remembrance Day on the Internet.
