VIDEO SYNOPSYS
FISSION is a motion Graphic film created by Kun-I Chang. It tells a simple story about a man who sees himself as a graffiti on the wall. As the story develops, the character attempts to escape menacing graphics begin to emerge the wall. These elements follow, stalk and sometimes attack the character while he is taunted by his “real” counterpart. The conflict between the counterparts and the environment builds and steadily grows out of control; a journey which leads us to the resolution of the battle: a metaphor of recycling and endless “FISSION” |
