The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (end title)
Working closely with Rob Cohen, the design team composed scenes similar in style to a graphic novel, building tension and transitions using brushstroke silhouettes of recognizable characters from the film, with 3D models provided by Rhythm & Hues and Digital Domain. Master calligrapher T.Z. Yuan was also consulted for the ink brush writing, to achieve a level authenticity amidst the fantastical elements of the film. The sequence was built around the Chinese calligraphy of the five elements -- water, wood, earth, metal and fire.

Hexstatic Exactshit video mashups
'Exactshit' and 'Now That’s What I Call Exactshit DVD 2' are bootleg mashup DVDs released by Hexstatic. Exactshit is an anagram of Hexstatic. Featuring samples of popular hit songs, only 200 copies of Exactshit were made available at the Big Chill Music Festival 2003 and from the Ninja Tune online store. It has since been more broadly distributed through online file sharing. In late 2006, a second DVD, Now That's What I Call Exactshit DVD 2 was released. The album was widely praised by music critics.

The Origin: The Art, Design and Code of Patrick Gunderson
A point is a location in space. Points are dimensionless. That is, a point has no width, length, or height. We locate points relative to some arbitrary standard point, often called the "origin".

Flash Math Creativity: Second Edition
Flash Math Creativity is a book of iterative experiments—generative design. It's a showcase of the fifteen authors' experiments. The book will explain how these work and how you to can experiment further yourself. Each author does four experiments. Each experiment takes up four pages. We give you the code and explain the essence, then you take away your inspiration and run with it. The purpose of the book is to learn through experimentation because you are inspired to do so, not because someone is telling you to do so.
