Been busy the last few days with creating a povray-rendered movie as part of a university project. Rendering can be very time consuming depending on the scene, so the resulting movie really is short, close to 2 minutes 30. Allthough we employed various measures to reduce rendering time, like creating a camera effect that only requires a portion of the resulting frame to be rendered (compound eye), or by creating a large image with gimp for the credits section and turn it into movie frames by moving a viewport along its height.
Anyways, here you go, The Bumblebee Flight:
Der Hummelflug (39M)
And a German summary about the creation process:
