Zoom Waaaaaaaaaaay Into This Ballpoint Pen To the Quantum World

We love this Super Zoom of a CG ballpoint pen, where we’re taken down to the microscopic, even atom-level view, showcasing the unseen quantum realm that inhabits everything around us. It’s enormously visually satisfying to see the ‘camera’ continue zooming, way past the point that an actual lens could view. We go deeper, closer, all the time with a scale meter guiding our path. It’s like an updated version of the famous Powers of Ten film created by Eames back in the 1970s. Excellent work by digital artist Pedro Machado. Via Vimeo.
