DATA MOSHING?

I realise that this has been upon loads of blogs as of recent, but I thought I'd add it here anyway...

I really like this technique as it is a very creative use of the frame tearing and lossy atrributes that go with compressed video formats. As far as I have read in an interview with the director, it's not the easiest of techniques to pull off well. I can't stand the term 'data moshing', however. It comes across as some sort of high-school kid term used by the nerds in an attempt to sound cool.

Similarly, David O'Reilly, one of my favourite animators used this technique a while back in his showreel. With a nice soundtrack.
