This is Yanns site itself and is very good, he's recently done a movie called Home.

Interesting Special effect short film some physics students did in Netherlands

Interesting to try some like this out on park hill flats around in a suburb somewhere, also made me think about fan content, pretty good stuff sometimes, adding a story or collection of bits that people enjoy, Transmedia story telling i think it called, Anyway thought someone could or should do a redux copy the film and add more effects or narrative to the piece.
