go yuri, go!

pyehdesign.com presents 1961, an animated interpretation of Yuri Gagarin's flight into space.
With Yuri at the helm, we are taken on a voyage through a world of illustration and typography inspired by science fiction, russian contructivism, information graphics and 1980’s arcade games.
it's set to a flaming lips song, too, which scores huge points with me, and is only 10 megs (not 40, as they state).

good to hear from you, hel.

sounds like you'd get into rotoscoping. there's heaps of info available - might be a cool idea for your honours project. ;)
