Hello Hammer, yes, sorry if I gave only a derisive statement to ABC123 guy.
I do that to myself too. I suppose its an attempt at self deprication and non commital, or realizing the limits, recognizing doubt, etc.
Okay, more-
Here's one, but the reviewer gives superficial analysis and misses lots. Not his perview or obligation to do so in this situation, just saying.-
I, Pet Goat II
Symbolic remix of the world’s modern travesties rendered with an incredible level of polish by a new Canadian animation studio.Every once in a great while, I come across an animated film that’s so fresh and so bizarre that it’s near impossible to describe. The best films will innovate on story, others on style. But it’s rare to see both come together in one film. It doesn’t happen often—David OReilly’s Please Say Something, Eran Hilleli’s Between Bears, Chris Landreth’s Ryan. Now, we present Heliofant’s dreary surrealist short I, Pet Goat II.
I, Pet Goat II is a difficult film to dissect, but I’ll give it a try. First, the story is less of a narrative and more like an interpretive dance of modern travesties—America’s war on terror, religious fundamentalism, militarianism in Aftrica, totalitarianism in China, and exploitation all over the world (some of which may seem a little heavy-handed to us Americans). It’s packed with loaded symbols used to remix pop culture into a new mythology complete with surreal landscapes and zany characters.
Second, it’s very theatrical. There’s a lot of dancing with scenes rendered like sets and characters painted like vinyl figures. Even the editing has a bit of a Red Curtain aesthetic. The movement of the film is one of its greatest strengths. Motion capture was used for about half the animation adding a much needed ‘real’ touch to the surrealism.
Heliofant is a new animation studio based in Montreal.
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.
Every film is a collaborative effort, but Heliofant goes a step beyond just a credit listing to call out their individual creativity. Everyone’s contribution seems to shine—in particular, the driving score by Tanuki Project.
Keep your eyes on Heliofant. The world of animation just got a little more interesting.

"I, pet goat II" is a short film of animation that shows aspects and important events of the company in which we live since a very interesting viewpoint. The title of the work himself due to the children's story “The pet goat”, known by being the story that read George W. Bush when was reported of the attacks of September 11, 2001. In that sense, the short one peforma a critical look and surrealist of the events that shook the world it passed decade.
With headquarters in Montreal, Canada, Heliofant is a study independent animation centered in the creation of experimental content. In this, its last creation, strike a loaded speech of symbols that draw an initiation trip of death and renaissance toward the New Sun of the conscience. According to an article of Pijamasurf, “sus multidimensional images that speak us in different plans of meaning. Political conscience that becomes chamanismo, in sanación collective of an abundant secret injury”.
The animation situates us in a Masonic theater –with echoes of that space interdimensional of the end of Twin Peaks or the mind of the Dr. Parnassus– only that we are in a parlor of classes in Florida, September 11, 2001, in which George W. Bush is teaching to read to a group of Afro-American students, using the book “The Pet Goat”. This in reality happened and of way “sincromísticamente” strange the children repeated, as a pedagogical mantra the words: "Kite", "hit", "plane", "steel", "must". Which they can be orderly to say "kite-plane must hit steel" (airplane-comet should strike steel). Of course Bush is also the goat pet, we are also the goat pet, I, Pet Goat, (goat associated with the devil but also with Bread, the God-animal one that frees the instinct in the ecstacy of the body); in a turn of the puppeteer, Bush becomes Obama and we enter to an interpretation psicomágica/conspiranóica of what there are behind the political events that gave form to the last years. According to the study candiense responsible for this animation: "A history on the fire in the heart of the suffering" // the apple of Eris is the lotus.
The towers are knocked down in an ashen archipelago, the ritual of black magic initiates, we glimpse the thrones of the secret power, the extraterrestrial media control, the mental programming, the global witchcraft and we arrive upon Being planetarium, symbolized in the Christ Zombie-/Christ Cosmic. It is a festival of magic in which they dance you force opositorias, archetypes, personages of an epic drama of death and renaciemiento, an initiation trip, crossing the river of Anubis, the mystical history of the humanity, the caves as the body of the Land and the cameras of the old mysteries, the falocracia that imprisons the to awake of the wild eroticism of the goddess mother and that elevates the man to its flight Astral, connecting the cords of its DNA in a rocket-hummingbird of the sacred spiral, the fire of the cosmos, the sorcerer, the fire in the water, the third eye that is opened in the mind of I, Christ, the old civilization collapses and we advance toward the New Sun that emits rays of conscience.
From Montreal, Heliofant, "that that shows or brings with himself to the Sun", has created a brilliant animation, so much technically as in a symbolic plan, the language of the dreams, the language of the power and of the magic. Using the flow of the music of Tinoki Project, "Stream", to embed multidimensional images that speak us in different plans of meaning. Political conscience that becomes chamanismo, in sanación collective of an abundant secret injury. A microproyecto of evolution, of escape of the Matrix through the ritual of the image.
