Icarus Rig by Emilio Serrano

Icarus is one of Emilio Serrano's most personal rigs. He is an original character with visual poetry built in, a lone astronaut somewhere between mission and metaphor, and he was the centrepiece of a full cinematic short made with a collaborative team.

Israel Gómez Simón modelled him, Guillermo Moreno Alfaro handled environment and lighting, and Santiago Erlich Lopez composed the score, so the short shows what this rig can do in a cinematic context. The suit's proportions guide you toward slow, purposeful movement, the animation equivalent of writing in long, thoughtful sentences. Icarus is for animators who want to slow down and let every movement carry weight and meaning.
