MINOTAUR from Karlis Vitols on Vimeo.
Not sure exactly what medium was used on this short film, but it's pleasing to the eye. Reminiscent of watercolors, or even fingerpaint.
Then there's the content, which presents the Minotaur figure in perhaps a more sympathetic light than usual. And shows Sysiphus pushing a briefcase uphill. Natch.

Oh, I did like that one. His idea of having a bored young Minotaur amusing himself in the Labyrinth with some famous characters from Greek mythology while his dad was off doing other things was an excellent one. I liked the image of now old Icarus getting tossed out of Mt. Olympus and his young friend helping him fix the wings. The warrior Theseus being lost even while using the ball of string given to him by Ariadne was also a nice touch. The young Minotaur helped him too. I wonder if Sisyphus escaped his fate when his briefcase turned out to be a box of feathers? I'd hope so as that was always one of the saddest stories but not as bad as the one about Prometheus.
I'm guessing the paint he used was acrylic. It can be hard to tell since PhotoShop can emulate a lot of art media.
Icarus and Daedalus? Oh yes, that's a sad story. Certainly the myth of Arachne is as well. Prometheus apparently didn't know the other Titans as well as he thought he did. And yeah, the sweet little Minotaur is very charming.
Yes, it could be acrylic. I think it has to be some kind of physical media, because the film appeared under the heading of "stop motion", and if it was just PhotoShop there'd be nothing to stop. Still, there could have been digital manipulation afterwards.
