Leonardo da Vinci's Animated Illustrations

The Victoria and Albert museum translated nine of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings in to mini movies as part of their major exhibit of his books.

"These animations aim to bring some of Leonardo’s visions to life

The animations have been made using various techniques: a combination of traditional drawn animations and computer-generated animations. The biggest task was to bring those two together, and try as far as possible to emulate the drawings in Leonardo’s sketchbooks."

The movies are fascinating - you can watch a human heart throb and a birds wing evolve into a human arm and then a flying machine.
