Aneurysm formation and physiology

As I recover from a ruptured aneurysm (repaired with a clip) in my own head, I thought I'd post an animation I did for Dr. Bill Young http://avm.ucsf.edu/faculty_staff/young/ in 2003/2004 that shows generic aneurysm formation principles for his earlier slideshow lectures.
This is not my finest work- short timeline and limited budget- also my first time working with thinking particles on a real project in c4d, but it was a fun project for a great client and seems apt given my current situation. I hope none of you have to experience this type of medical emergency, but if you do, family and friends can make it a much easier journey.

Great job! I wish there was a non-invasive method for dealing with aneurysm. Best wishes!
