This is the experience of students from different Visual Arts departments at IED Roma. Specifically, the CG Animation graduates worked on the pilot episode of the retro-futuristic dystopian series in 2D and 3D animation entitled Machines. The series, realised with an immediately recognisable stylistic signature, gracefully deals with delicate themes such as the relationship between Humanity - Machine - Divinity, Ethics, Technological Revolution and Eternal Life. The pilot episode produced in collaboration with Mad Entertainment was presented at the Heroes International Film Festival.
