LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

This one’s timely, right? An animated reflection on the ways we influence and are influenced by the environment around us, and a reminder that our behavior towards Creation says a great deal about us as humans.

Also, there are giants. … Yep.

OK, fine. So saying it’s timely is probably a bit of a stretch. But it’s a fun piece all the same.

From creator Brandon Wu:

A selfish king must learn humility in a land populated by giants.

Of particular note (for me): The way composer Lucas Morin uses musical queues to emphasize story points. Like the way he builds around that offensively-brash trumpet, for example. Or the arpeggios accompanying the seasonal transitions around the 2:30 mark. Great stuff.
