Complicit is a student graduate film that was created by Gavin Hoffman and Eoin Coakley.  The original idea for the film was formed in the summer of 2012 and went through several drafts and re-works before it went into production in December 2012. The film is intended to be thought provoking, making people think about their actions and how they affect the world as a whole.  The film was created mainly using 3ds max, mental ray, after effects and premiere.
 



Although most of the film was created using 3d, the montage in the middle was created using a combination of 3d and 2d photo manipulation.


Voice acting and acting reference was acted by Jordon-Lee McGrath, Shane Connolly and Colm Mahon.

Sound track was created by Edd Charmant.
