Chris Harrell’s 3D workspace visualization
This three minute video is noteworthy for its visualization of a
3D workspace. I don’t think that that was the intention of the artist so
consider it one of the video’s key prop. Examples of imagined workspaces are
few and far between and this one’s capabilities are far greater than present
and planned ones. In the opening, the author is manipulating words and then the
workspace’s 3D objects.
It worth checking out.

Here’s the background:
Back in March, the Vancouver Film School announced that it was
holding a contest for aspiring filmmakers, and would hand out three
scholarships to attend the school. All contestants had to do was
upload
their video submissions to YouTube and answer the question: “What matters
to you?” The school narrowed the contestants down to 10 finalists, and then
members of the YouTube channel
voted for three winners. The newest members of the Vancouver Film School are:globeandmail.com:

Christopher Harrell, a 25-year-old graphic designer from
Colorado who has worked on a number of charitable projects and relief efforts,
and taught himself graphic design as part of that work. His submission is
here, and shows him
grabbing the titles from in front of him on the video and moving words around,
and then pulling numbers and words out of a 3D-style
holographic Web browser that seems to be broadcasting from an old
typewriter sitting on the table in front of him. His video has been
viewed 92,000 times, made a favourite by 461 people and has 466 comments.
