In addition to paper shapes jumping, disappearing and morphing, human hands are included in the storyline to add a personal connection to the event. Who knows, maybe next year it will be your hand receiving one of the magnificent Pencil awards!

Gorgeous lighting, animation and theatrical poetry in this title sequence for the recently released Brincante from VetorZero. From the studio’s website: “The film Brincante dives into the work of Antonio Nóbrega. This journey is conducted by two characters: João Sidurino and Rosalina – from the plays “Brincante” and “Segundas Histórias”, made by Nóbrega and Rosane Almeida. Hybrid of fiction and documentary, Brincante shows an artist’s path using the brazilian popular culture imaginarium to create a work that diversifies between theatre, music and dance. The film, directed by Walter Carvalho and produced by Gullane Filmes, with the support of Brincante Produções, releases 2014 to theatres.
Using Stop-motion and an art direction inspired by brazilian culture, Vetor Zero / Lobo created a title sequence that represents the journey made by Antonio Nóbrega with various elements that link the whole film together.” Read on to watch the making of video.
