Last weekend I released my first ASCII animated short film (to be
perfectly honest, it's not completely animated - it's like a mix of
an animation and a slideshow). It won the technology video compo
at the Alternative Party 2008.
This 1 min 8 sec long video can be watched on YouTube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1alD5XwPE8U or you can watch it as a
GIF animation: http://www.fiikus.net/asciiart/evolution.gif (which
is the same thing but without the rather nice soundtrack).
Here are some frames from the video:

I drew all the frames by hand in JavE, except that the Evolution text
and the transition frames are made with the help of Figlet, because I
was short on time.
I would have made the video more "lively" had I had more time - e.g.
the Aibo was supposed to be animated.
