Thank you for the link. It turns out that the name of the short is "Notes on a Triangle", not "Variations on a Triangle". The beautiful animated short, "The Sweater", is a delightful litmus test for determining if the person with the maple leaf on their backpack really is canadian.
The short film, "Animando", was the result of an internship of a brazilian animator who explores many techniques, including a backlit sand table.
While my father may not have worked on the Little Abitibi dam, nor on the survey crew, he did help with the design and construction of hydroelectric power dams in north Ontario, so "Black Fly "is near and dear to me.
If you want to see a very early example of computer animation, check out "Hunger". The animator drew a few key frames and used computer morphing for the in-betweens. It is only line drawings, but it is from 1974.
The film "Mindscape" was animated with a pinboard.
All of the above are well worth watching.
