Bent’s Carlos Lascano recently finished an emotionally powerful video for Amnesty International’s 50^th Anniversary entitled Standing Up for Freedom. Produced in Prague, Lascano and team created a visual masterpiece utilizing multiple forms of animation and technical methods to achieve a metaphorical story of freedom over oppression. The video tells the story of a morbid, brick wall blocking all access to sunlight and freedom while animated characters play out war-torn scenes across its dark, barren surface. A red carnation, inspired by the Portugal’s Carnation Revolution in the 1970’s, is passed from the heroes of each scene to the next. The moving score was produced by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe.
