This ground-breaking interactive stop-motion animation is the first collaboration between the National Film Board of Canada, Felix & Paul Studios and Clyde Henry Productions. Blending 3D 360-degree video, stop-motion, miniatures and CGI, GYMNASIA pushes the art of puppet animation into uncharted territory. Viewers shrink to 1/3 scale as they enter a world built entirely by hand. The first VR experience to induce the elusive anxiety that occurs when the lines between what’s real and unreal are blurred beyond belief, GYMNASIA is a dark dream ⎯ unsettling and weirdly wonderful.
"A dark world of theater, VR, animation, and puppets" - VRScout “Perfectly quirky... plenty of atmosphere and technical beauty" - Engadget "Surprises abound here, in a unique tale of the utmost artistry" - Animation Magazine
Duration: 6 minutes 29 seconds.

Short = You nailed it. Coincidentally, (or not!) I looked at the right areas at the right time, which resulted in the perfect experience. I was scared, but almost more fascinated. Thank you for making this experience for us :) Side note = I feel there could be more to this creepy, fascinating universe.
