Carnival: City of Samba

“City of Samba” (Cidade so Samba), Keith Loutit and Jarbas Agnelli, is an amazing look at the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The video is filmed with a combination of stop motion and tilt-shift .The unmissable video was posted on Vimeo in 2012, when it won the Vimeo Award’s Top 12 of 2012.

The video opens with an overview ‘miniature’ of the city. Boats on the beach resemble an animation of Tim Burton. A helicopter performs a rescue at sea, and then the Carnival begins. Captured from a higher point of view, the video shows the celebration and the splendor of Carnival.
