Those animations were award-winning and I spent some time going
  through all of them from the designer of the animations' web
  site.. just in awe of it. I watched them without any words,
  without the music... just absorbing it all.

  Then I read about it and it all started clicking into place.
  Just amazing stuff.

  The replication movie inspired me to look into the mechanisms of
  sewing machines, sergers, and various industrial manufacturing
  processes that followed similar patterns.
