Horses for Courses is back for streaming

Just in time for our SIGGRAPH presentation, we've been granted back the ability to stream the movie via the Brilliant Digital installer system.

Unfortunately, due to Brilliant’s technical issues, we regrettably have had to drop the loading sequence that originally preceded the film. You can still watch this forest loading sequence separately (327K).
