FS Latin Colloquium: Pandora's Box (stop motion)

Created by Dennys Duran and Will King, this stop motion video is based upon the story of Pandora's Box. It opens as Prometheus (dressed in gold) steals fire from Zeus (dressed in a tan, patterned cloth) and gives it to a man sitting on the ground. When Zeus learns of Prometheus' stealing, he goes to Hephaestus who creates Pandora from the ground. Pandora is then confronted by Zeus who gives her a box that she is warned not to open. Losing the fight against temptation, Pandora opens it and unleashes pain, agony, and despair throughout the human world. However, when she closes the box again, hope is the only emotion to remain contain. So the last scene in the video is of two humans filled with grief sitting on the ground.

The video was made as a Latin Colloquium project featuring the theme of chaos. As a disclaimer, I do not own the rights to this song, but it was used for the intention of being educational beneficial.
