I know it sounds kind of silly, but when I see beautifully executed motion graphics and visual effects, it actually evokes a kind of emotional response. Part wonder, part awe...and a little bit of jealousy (why can't i do that?)
Here's a sampler of some of the best work created by The Mill:

It's not just that the work is beautiful, but the concept and the creative vision is really powerful.
So it's just advertising...but so what? It's great advertising. And it's great art.
