My reiteration of animation for 300. This one breaks down the structural components by assigning them very simple forms. 

The grid pattern in the back grounds the movement of the sphere in the foreground by offering a visual cue against which the sphere moves. The camera moves in a simple linear path; however the interaction of the sphere with the trellis-type arrangement in the background is where the structure of the video starts to come through. 

I synchronized moments in the animation where the camera movement slows down with the points where the sphere is intersected with the trellis grid. This motion represents the occurrence of penetration between two solids, which is directly reflected in the 300 video, when the moments that are recorded in slow motion are when King Leonidas is forcing his spear through enemy soldiers, an act of penetration.

In addition, this motion is repeated a couple of times in the video, and establishes what could be continued perpetually as a rhythm of entrapment through penetration and escape between the two solids. This was a prominent component of the way the scene in 300 was structured.
