Myths and Animation in the work of Virgilio Vasconcelos

The work of this animator impressed me greatly, and shows the creative use of technology in the service of Art, with the tech part downplayed through the look of mechanical stage devices. Brazilian animator Virgilio Vasconcelo is responsible for the 3D images in a project which included other artists. It is a series of animations based on myths from the Amazon. See also one called Cobra Grande on YouTube, and his homepage which allows for downloading examples of his animations as short Quicktime movies.
