Steampunk Daedalus and Icarus

Ok, so, disclaimer: I've been told this song is severely overused. I haven't actually seen the movie it's from and I don't really watch television, so I've never heard it anywhere before. But yes, sorry if you've heard it a million times.

This is a project I did for my 2D Design class. The goal was to create a movie that, using only still frames, took the viewer from a static to a dynamic composition.

I chose to do a steampunk version of the Daedalus and Icarus myth, replacing the wax wings of the myth with steampunk balloon flying machines.

You know what? Who cares if we've heard the song before?

You've taken it and put it into a wonderful context which is certainly new to me!

Great work!

what a great comment! you see so much bad comments about videos an you tube. it's good to see one like this.

i so agree. the song works so well with a great video. it puts you right in th mood, espesaly at the end when the baloon bursts, the lirics fit that part so well.

Steampunk is my favorite sub-genre of science fiction

Most historians suggest that Daedalus was the inventor of the hang-glider.

It's a Steampunk version, which is as accurate as it will get due to the fact it isn't directly related to the original myth.

I really love the art style. It's really unique and quite cute, in a way, quite fitting.

The song fits very well. Who cares if it's overused if it works? :) I tear up when watching this. Thanks for the video, sir. :)

poor and slightly inaccurate re-telling of the tragedy of Daedalus and Icarus.

[TheRafangel1]

what's the name of the song?

[TheRafangel1]

how's called the song?

This is good. But I never heard that song before. Also, stupid Icarus, that's what he get for not listening to his father. Now, what I think, steampunk version of Daedalus may want to collect what little is left of his son's body and build an android of Icarus.
