The Ruins of Detroit by Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre

"Detroit, industrial capital of the XXth Century, played a fundamental role shaping the modern world. The logic that created the city also destroyed it. Nowadays, unlike anywhere else, the city’s ruins are not isolated details in the urban environment. They have become a natural component of the landscape. Detroit presents all archetypal buildings of an American city in a state of mummification. Its splendid decaying monuments are, no less than the Pyramids of Egypt, the Coliseum of Rome, or the Acropolis in Athens, remnants of the passing of a great Empire."

Fritz Lang - Chapelier Fou by Bjorn Feldmann

Fritz Lang - Chapelier Fou from Bjorn Feldmann on Vimeo.

In a factory, thousands are working without a pause. One of them decides to break out to find where he comes from.

it's a personal work I did for one year in my free-time. I based my story on the music of Chapelier Fou.
Inspired by german expressionism and of course Fritz Lang's Metropolis, but also mechanism of Jean Tinguely or looney tunes backgrounds.
The whole project was done entirely in After Effects: illustration, animation, editing and compositing.

Thanks to Chapelier Fou for letting me use his music.
you can buy/download the album "invisible" on www.icidailleurs.com/chapelier-fou

And to Pierre Thirion www.21h42.com for his help in developing the story!

Enjoy & Share!!!
