I found myself spending my mid-afternoon time browsing through videos on Vimeo. So far I’ve watched a total of 26 videos. 😀 Don’t worry, I’m not going to post all 26, but I did narrow it down to 10. Hope you enjoy the videos. Let me know which one was your favorite!

Meet Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis—they’ve been making movie monsters for Hollywood movies for the last 35 years at their company, Amalgamated Dynamics Inc.
