No Evil Star is a decline and fall; epic in scale and minute in actuality.The piece was filmed on a small handmade clay diorama.A cast of hundreds of mealworms colonise the diorama; a super-race of giants in a unearthly terrain.It is a world in extremis,an elegiac widescreen vision of a landscape slowly sinking into darkness,its inhabitants overwhelmed. No Evil Star takes elements from Westerns,dinosaur spectaculars,Biblical epics,and its sombre key from Géricault s The Raft of the Medusa .The piece uses a Darwinian trope,that of enormous forces endlessly struggling for existence and makes that,and the mysterious dying of the light,the action of the film. CD - ROM. playing time: 8 mins. No Evil Star has an original score by the composer Andy Moor. £10 +p&p |
