TimTom
Romain Segaud and Christel Pougeoise's CG short film TimTom pays tribute To stop-motion animation. TimTom was an official selection at Sundance and won a jury award at Siggraph and the grand prizes at Imagina and Ars Electronica, and it's easy to see why it has garnered such accolades. It uses the visuals associated with not just stop-motion animation, but also the media of film and sound to tell its story about two animated figures and the animator's hand that serves as their antagonist.

GEOS-5: Aerosols
Through numerical experiments that simulate the dynamical and physical processes governing weather and climate variability of Earth's atmosphere, models create a dynamic portrait of our planet. This 10-kilometer global mesoscale simulation (Nature Run) using the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Model (GEOS-5) explores the evolution of surface temperatures as the sun heats the Earth and fuels cloud formation in the tropics and along baroclinic zones; the presence of water vapor and precipitation within these global weather patterns; the dispersion of global aerosols from dust, biomass burning, fossil fuel emissions, and volcanoes; and the winds that transport these aerosols from the surface to upper-levels.
