Loom: The Story of a Successful Catch

(Watch on Vimeo)

The German-based production team know as Polynoid is a collaboration of Jan Bitzer, Ilija Brunck, Csaba Letay, Fabian Pross and Tom Weber, all design, music and storytelling geniuses. This 5-minute film, Loom, took one year to create.

It's creepy but oddly mesmerizing. If you're an arachnophobe, this might not be the best animation for you. But I watched it and, rather than being terrified, I was awed. The only time I really squicked was in the spinneret shot near the end.
