This clip from ‘Revenge’ by Lernert & Sander made me squirm in my seat, wincing with so much apprehension for the poor, unknowing little victim.

Superbly done video on the five senses and its influence on the creative process by BYU design department. Absolutely no CG effects! Wow, I want to make letterforms out of jello, too and taters.
