Courtesy of Alex. He calls it “twelve minutes of uninterrupted beauty”… I’m inclined to agree.

This is not for those of you who have little to no patience or appreciation for architectural magnificence, because that’s all this is about. No story or gimmicks, just complete and total glorious visual aesthetic. It’s things like that make me feel like I’d have enjoyed architectural design.

The clincher is that the whole damn movie is CG. Well, mostly. There’s a compositing breakdown video that you can gawk at too.

By the way, “the third and the seventh” apparently refers to the third and the seventh arts, according to one of the video’s comments. That is, out of the following ordered list, the video is about the third and the seventh items: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Literature, Music, Dance, Cinematography.

I couldn’t find a reference to this online (the seven arts according to who?), so I guess we’ll just have to take that dude’s word for it. >_> If nothing else, there’s the shot at 0:26 of a backward page of text, that when you flip horizontally, it reads like this.
