Animated Norse Metal Musical - First 13 Minutes
“Victory" is a Historical Fiction that tells the true history of Norway during 1020AD and it's combined war with Sweden against Denmark, which ended in disaster for Norway's first Christian King, Olaf II. The musical also illuminates Norse Mythology, as its believers struggled under Olaf II's brutal reign to survive the first age of Christian political dominance in Northern Europe, nearly 100 years after the formation of The Holy Roman Empire, which would continue to control much of Europe until it's dissolution in 1806.
The animation intends to be in the visual style of Heavy Metal, The Black Cauldron and The Lord Of The Rings (by Ralph Bakshi) with a modern 3D sensibility.
The live performance is intended to begin as live music and voice acting during screenings and to progress to a completed stage musical incorporating elements of the animation into the live performance.
The first 13 minutes of "Victory" can be heard and seen here with temporary graphics:
