The Second Coming, W.B. Yeats

GENRE: Short Film

CLIENT: Ted Ed

"The Second Coming" is a 1919 poem by W. B. Yeats, written under the shadow of WW1, and tells of the coming apocalypse. The film's visuals are directly inspired by the early pioneers of moveable type, an artistic movement of the time. Artists such as Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Zwart and Jan Tschichold. Their new untethered approach to moveable type injected a keen sense of emotion into an otherwise rigid medium. The film also mimics animation of the time with a stifled frame rate of 6fps.
