Les Riches Douaniers

Chevauchée Nocturne

Abstract:
Directed in 2006 from Shadow of Colossus, “Chevauchée Nocturne” (Night Ride) retains only the lines of shapes, using two colors, black and yellow, which allows the extreme customization of the work. This machinima also refers to reality by the appearance of two turns away in silence. Music and sound are very important and both participate in the rhythm creating the expectation as any dialogue is deleted.

Biography:
