Money will be our destruction. In the case of this stunning multi-media allegory for The Acorn, it's caused by a mere penny that falls from the sky and sets off a chain of cataclysmic events. The penny slices off a glacier from the ice cap, causing the waters to rise and progress into tidal waves that ravage the land. Additional coins and treasures rain down as the animals break free and run rampant across the land. Salvation may come in the form of one pure couple — and a snail, of course — but a happy ending is probably not to be. Although the video may immediately look like a pure CG work, most of it was made and animated by hand. Check the YouTube page for "Flood Pt. 1" for making-of details and a synopsis of the video's underlying story. --> watch "Flood Pt. 1" via YouTube or Quicktime
