Who better than a Spanish olive to tell the story of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, and probably the most famed Spanish Basque of all time! This Monty Python-esque video gives the historical details of his life in a uniquely humorous way. Animated using Adobe After Effects, it is a composition of still photographs and iconic, historical paintings, with the Olive moving through and “interacting” with elements of these static environments.
Targeted audience: students, faculty and staff of Jesuit institutions
