Last week’s SIGGRAPH conference was once again the showcase for fresh directions in animation. One of the many ingenious works being presented would seem to have been Chris Landreth’s animated short, Subconscious Password.

The trailer below provides a taste of what looks like something to keep an eye out for on the big screen.
