something like the current in Finding Nemo, and well, also that I don't see any heart beats as mentioned in one of the posts?!
Great work anyways!

Once I saw the blood cells with the transparency they were a lot more interesting. I also think it would be nice to have the current visible but how... more particles? I guess that would be render heavy. Hm.
Was there movement in the vessell wall like a heart beat or was that my imagination?
My thought as to the length is twice the distance and 1.5 times the speed - making the animation a little longer but the beginning a touch quicker so that the viewer is plunged into a current of rushing blood cells, is carried with them past the walls and then is out of the current in a calm spot as the cells continue rushing by. That is what I saw in the current (now pun intended) animation but I thought if you accentuate what's there it could be stronger.
Check out the subsurfacescattering on my tongue...

How about relating the movement of the cells to the actual hearthbeat? I mean, make them rush as if being pumped, then they stop for a microsecond and then pump again, stop .. pump. When I say stop it´s more of a suspended state, and it shouldn´t last more than a microsec.
I like VERY much the animation K.
You´ll get the gig!

it must have been your eyes playing tricks on you ;p) and that's it... Dunno, It's already quite heavy to render this with PAL TV resolution with DOF and Motion Blur...

(btw, DOF, Motion Blurr and the soft-body stuff for the cells are off. Also the anti-aliasing is at preview quality)
