Just got wind of some good news that one of the episodes of
Lendas Animadas I was lead animator on is presently a
finalist for the
Japan Prize International Contest for Educational Media. I'm not sure what happens if it wins but the event's Facebook page has put up the first (to my knowledge) clip from the episode which you can check out below:
As you've probably deduced, the animation is taken from collages and drawings by schoolchildren across Brazil that have been made animatable. I was working to storyboards by the project's Art Director
Adriana with only a vague idea of what the narrator guy was saying, so it's kind of a new experience to actually see this with subtitles. This is also the same episode that
screened at Anima Mundi back in July -
Como Surgiram as Estrelas (How the Stars Were Created) - and I'm chuffed to say it was picked as one of the
10 best Brazilian films at that festival, making it eligible for a BNDES Award
. It didn't win though. So, y'know, fingers crossed for this other thing.
