The choice of Braille is very clever. I once failed a typography class for using Braille in a final design project that was supposed to create a sequence of images representing a visual story out of pure typography. This followed a 30 minute long argument with the professor during critique in which he asserted that Braille was not type. I countered that it was. It's charming to see it employed in this way.
The Braille trick has been used for ASCII art for awhile. In this case, I was more interested in it for subcharacter rendering of balls.
I didn't realize that, haven't thought about ASCII/ANSI art since the 90s, but the concept of using it for subcharacter animation is clever. Cheers.
[edit] Odd question. I have relatives in the Bay Area who I think spelled their name Wolfe. Their patriarch was named Eliot and survived Auschwitz. Any relation?
