The music is cool, too.<\/p>\n<p>Joao Grembecki and Cia.Stomboli in Sao Paulo, Brazil, made the tiger, and the puppeteers are Joao Grembecki, Cassiano Reis and Fabio Oliveiro. <del>The full credits are here<\/del>.<\/p>\n<p>Updated links 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyger from Guilherme Marcondes on Vimeo.
