Not much is known about Renaissance man Yoann Lemoine a.k.a. Woodkid. In many ways, he's a compelling mystery that leads you to search the ends of the inter web just to find out who he is and what he does. Looking at him, he looks plain enough. But look even deeper, the man literally does it all. In his small bio for his website, he toys between his playgrounds of New York and Paris, "mainly working as a film director in media such as video, 8 to 35mm film, 2D and 3D animation, Stop Motion, photography, illustration, painting, screen printing, sculpture, collage, knitting, holograms, and more…" Lemoine calls himself "a very curious person, constantly looking for avenues of expression that combine those different mediums."
And like any respectable Renaissance man, Lemoine intertwines his music under the name of Woodkid with his theatrical talents. In his latest video for his amazing "Iron," these elements comes together to form something to beautifully scary and exhilarating, that it's disgusting. "Iron" features all shots of various warriors and beserkers in a black and white filter that has epic written all over it. This is by far the most beautiful video I've seen this year.
