I won’t comment on the political or philosophical aspects behind this video, but from a visual perspective, this is one of the most brilliant 3D animation I’ve been given to watch in a long, long time. I’m especially happy to give it a little love since it comes from an animation studio that is located just 30 minutes from where I live.
Based in the beautiful Laurentian mountains just north of Montreal, Canada, Heliofant is a nascent independent computer animation studio focused on creating experimental and challenging content. Bringing together artists from the fields of dance, music, computer animation and visual arts, the company is very interested in exploring the common ground that underlies many spiritual and philosophical traditions in a lyrical form.
