Description:


    Attracted by the motion of an iridescently winged dragonfly, a predatory fish,driven by instinct and forces of nature, leaps from his ever-flowing river andin one sudden moment of carnal lust and abject destruction, takes a life. Rainfalls, leaves blow in the chill wind, and the sky darkens as the fish re-enter his kingdom. Above, a brightly coloured float splashes into the water. Attached:a beautiful but barbed iridescently winged lure. Animated in a painterly style using Softimage, Flash and cell, with extensive layering of each scene composited in Eddie/After Effects. In HDTV format with an original musical score.
