Satisfyingly gorgeous! I love the broken mirror gag, and the sweeping camera tracking, and the flickering flashlight. Didn't quite get the ending, did it have a baby?

Looks like more than one baby.

Does anybody know what software they used to model, choreograph, and render this in?

Very cute and gorgeously rendered. I hope these guys do more movies like this.

@Matt: it was rendered with PASSION. :)
You can watch the Making Of; it shows screen shots of some of the work they did. http://www.vimeo.com/7708580

Great lighting and camera work. The animation and little girl model were a bit stiff and inorganic to me. Her movements felt very linear.

The environment was very beautifully done. The little girl on the other hand didn't look very well done. Her movements were too.... not sure how to word it... just not right. Kind of over-exaggerated or something.

Wow, that little girl was perfect. Not sure what y'all are talking about.

Very beautiful Video. At times I expected it to turn into silent hill...

It was well done, but who picked out that girls outfit, Pedobear?!?
