Terrific animated short by students of the Ultrecht Shool of Arts
From their Vimeo Page:
Mac ‘n’ Cheese is an animated short directed and created by four students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. This roughly two minute animation took about five months to make, and about a bajillion peanut butter sandwiches.
Synopsis: When you find yourself running scared and running out of energy, there’s only a few options left to outrun your opponent through the southern desert. Stopping at nothing, watch these two guys wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken. Enjoy the ride!

It’s been doing the rounds but, just in case you’ve missed it it, I feel obliged to post the sensational work of the greatest living visual effects artist.
Fun new Science Channel indents by Imaginary Forces. Same vibe as the old SyFy work.
