Rite of Spring by Brian Ziff
"Brian Ziff presents the Schön Magazine exclusive, "Rite of Spring." In this haunting series, we watch as the new season emerges from the death of the last; nectar flows, hummingbirds suckle and flowers bloom as the cold, hapless body of winter succumbs to the verdant inevitability of spring. Each tableau is first shot and composited by Brian Ziff, and then painstakingly animated by Ethan Chancer, creating a moment forever in limbo as nature's yearning tendrils thread the darkness under the trance of a soft, crisp breeze."
