MASQUARADE (2007)

A short animation film draft (2′56) by JM Babonneau aka. Better_World_Inc. Made in Copenhagen in 2007. Music extract by LCD Soundsystem. Demo not for commercial purposes. An animation about wearing masks in life and following trends. Because I see much fashion and wannabe attitudes around in our western world but not enough truth and authentic personalities. I like people, especially artists, standing for their own ideas and creations, even if those aren’t fashionable in 2008.
