This is a very impressive looking science fiction short film titled The Heart of the Sky.
It was created by Mirari & Co. through a combination of motion graphics, animation, and film. This looks absolutely incredible and is the type of idea that needs to get a feature length adaptation. Check out some additional information, still images, and video below.
"In the past two years, we've been working on this short film as a chronic back ground project. We have come across hundreds of problems and limitations during the production process and used to think we might never be able to publish it. By pushing our creativity and with the curiosity to see how far we can go, we made our way here. Taking inspiration from Mayan myth, we have initiated this story about how lives might have been created on earth, in a science fiction style. Most of the references, which helped our design are from a book called Popol Vuh. The book is a corpus of historical
narrative created in the post Classic K'iche' kingdom, which is also considered as Mayan bible."
