Awakening (2020)
Directed by Pia Nara Thorsen & Camilla Nara Thorsen
A group of creatives decided to join forces in order to create a visual interpretation and experience of Hans Zimmer’s legendary music. Our vision and intent is to interpret the music of The Da Vinci Code, inspired by the mystery surrounding Leonardo Da Vinci’s legacy, and most importantly the rhythm and emotion from the music itself.
We want to take the audience through a highly conceptual experience, - as we witness the ethereal creature’s awakening and deterioration. We encourage the viewer to uncover and reveal their own interpretation.
The film “Awakening” got short listed as one of the finalists, out of 400 submissions in the international music video competition Enter The World of Hans Zimmer.
A Nara Animation Production in collaboration with Red Ant.
