I'm reminded how wind currents affect plant growth. Oscillating fans are often used in indoor cultivation to keep bending/stressing the plant so it grows stronger. Maybe this could be similar, but on a much smaller scale? Wish I had the space to run my own experiments :)

Very impressive! Loved the movie and suspected it was real-time, worked really well together with the art direction chosen. Also have to highlight the great animation, the main protagonist's body language is on point. Looking forward to your future projects!
