Drawing inspiration from Buddhism's mantra "Vang Sanh Chu," Funeral Parade navigates the intricate interplay between the lamentation for conceptual demises and the commemoration of romanticized resurrections.
The visual storytelling encompasses a variety of self-trained AI-generated imagery, subsequently animated into motion sequences, alongside 3D-rendered animations and scans of an array of body parts.
The centerpiece of the soundtrack is a newly composed rendition of Angelo Badalamenti’s Laura Palmer’s Theme by me.
