Groupings probably incorrect but did say it was a wild guess. Goat symbolic of those lines of belief, too, but not saying I believe it.

Better quality at Vimeo:

The Vimeo keywords are interesting. Some interpretation at the production site gallery: http://www.heliofant.com/gallery.html

It's too symbolic for me to understand. Is there a creator's interpretation?

was about one person in particular for pink floyd but it is universal in its appeal, art is what you think about and how it moves you,

There does seem to be a great deal of religious as well as political symbolism there.

Great animation, though.

I think it would be useful with the 3-d glasses and laughing gas given to distract some during a root canal. Then I could give it the attention it deserves.

the corrupt void of Bush the marionette; controlled by the almighty dollar, shirker of responsibility and quick to pass blame for his own shortcomings, the teaching of evolution, religion, 9/11, the Patriot Act and extinguishing of liberty in "the land of the free," the heightened and perhaps naive expectations of Obama and his own inner turmoil, Osama Bin Laden's plotting, the power and inherent debasement of corporate media "news" propaganda via television; dumbing down and brainwashing the people, corporate supremacy, war, the death of innocents and a new generation of terrorists as a result, the drowning of the public good in deference to war and destruction, the role of oil, Wall Street and Israel, the conflict between warriors and peacemakers, global warming, the falling short from the highest ideals of Christianity and ending with hope for a new day as a fossilized society self implodes.

Thanks for the thread, Ichingcarpenter.

The combination of the action and music and textures is almost creepy in its perfection. I have no idea what it all means but it's quite a showcase of craft.
