In-Shadow - A Modern Dystopian Odyssey - Animated Short Film

Video Below

---------------------------------------

I'm getting ready to post some new artwork that needs to be tidied up a bit and then scanned etc—so until I can make that happen I thought I'd share a TRULY amazing animation, 'In-Shadow.'

It features the VERY creative artwork of Lubomir Arsov—who is also its writer, director and producer.

His amazing paintings and video challenge our modern world—from chasing after all it's empty promises—to the people pulling the strings behind the scenes and profiting off all the misery they create—funding violence and terrorism, swaying us with their fake media and propaganda, pumping us full of chemicals, drugs and alcohol, driving us into blind consumerism, and sending us off to fight in unnecessary wars—ultimately leading into isolation, as far too many hide behind masks in loveless hook-ups/relationships and meaningless empty lives—all while soul-less education and entertainment, smart-phones and technology, and so on, replace true authenticity and intimacy with one another.

Arsov's art is brilliantly animated, with compositing by Sheldon Lisoy and Hiram Gifford—and reveals a very dark, dystopian world—but by ripping the veil off of it—Arsov reminds us to "reset" and break free from its many chains.

The only downside to this video IMHO is that the soundtrack is very grating—but I have a solution:

I've embedded 'In Shadow' to begin at 18 seconds in—and have also embedded the 'music-only' video of Pink Floyd's - Another Brick in the Wall parts 1, 2, 3 (goodbye cruel world).

So if you start both videos at the same time and then mute the audio for 'In Shadow'—the Pink Floyd track will sink up perfectly with the animation—and I really liked that way better.

Some may prefer the original soundtrack of course—and if so, that's fine—or you can just mute it and pick your music.  < duh Jephyr : )

Either way I loved this animation so much I wanted to share it—so check it out and see if you don't agree.

Please note:  While not explicit/graphic—there are images depicting cartoon sexuality and violence in this video.
