flood mythology

From the Hmong...

"Similiar to Noah's Ark,"Txoj Dab Neeg Kawg" (The Last Myth) is an animation set in the old world before the great flood . Two villagers,Yer and Ker, are chosen to be saved and create a world anew with the help of the shaman Chong SeeYee. With supernatural monsters on their tail, the trio must face death defying moments all in a race against time. This photoshop animation explores the life history of the Hmong people, and allows Hmong individuals to realize where they stand."

I like the colors in this animation. The watercolor styled sunset is abstract and chilling. It makes me consider using images from classic painting as a starting point possibily... There is alot of great landscape painting that would led itself to this... untouched, undestroyed landscapes from paintings made in the 17th and 18th centuries. I'll post soon.

I'd be interested in having an entirely animated character or set of characters in the show...
