'Icarus'

As promised, here is my final video piece for my first year at Uni.

The film itself is a semi-dystopian metaphor. We wanted to make a statement about how humanity is slowly losing itself and decided to create a character that would represent this. We wanted a protagonist that was hard to relate to- due to it's lack of humanity with the mask- but was also possible to pity and empathise with.

The name Icarus of course is a simple metaphor for humanity flying too close to the sun- but when we realise, it is all too late.
