I was lucky enough to find this because Vimeo was showcasing it on their front page. If you haven’t seen this fun short, which takes the charm of stop-motion with the heart-stopping styling used during the silent film age, then you really need to watch the story unfold. Argentinian director/animator Juan Pablo Zaramella shows us what life is like when you’re driven by a dream that keeps a tight hold on you. And sometimes, those dreams can come true because of help from unexpected places.
Check out Juan’s site to see what other treats he’s created to inspire us with, and then send him a congrats on winning the Audience Award and Fipresci Award at Annecy 2011. It’s easy to see why once you’ve watched Luminaris and realize that his mind makes it shine so bright.
Thanks Vimeo for continuing to bring such talented creators to our attention so that we can share their brilliance with the world!
