There's a little nerd in all of us. That was the gist of TechTV's quirky yet cool documentary series. Episodes featured an eclectic mix of geekness from hacker conventions and India's tech-support culture to Roswell gatherings and Star Trek fandom.

The design concept was based on plurality and how nerd-dom is a quality that can be found in just about everything, depending on one's point of view. Visually, this was represented through a sea of ever-changing faces and cityscapes to symbolize nerdism's cultural transcendence.

The execution was extremely tedious, hand-animating a 1000-plus facial parts to morph in and out of each other. Then applying a complex filtering technique to achieve the grunged-up appearance of the final product.

You kind of had to be a nerd to be willing to do all of that.
