Becoming One - Sci Fi short film

#1

Hi everyone,
I’d like to share with you my most recent project I have just completed.
Becoming One, is a full CG-animated piece exploring the relationship between connectivity and individuality. I wanted to examine the dichotomy between the virtual world that is created as we share information and a more physical, visceral reality. Inspired by science fiction writers, such as William Gibson and Shirow Masamune, I am fascinated, and terrified, by the notion that we are becoming nodes in an expanding network; in Becoming One, I wanted to explore whether, as technology advances, we are ever really alone, and what our sense of ‘self’ means in the new reality we are creating.

Becoming One was made using Cinema 4D (and Octane Renderer) and After Effects. Over three minutes, I experimented with a range of different aesthetics, in an attempt to convey individual facets of a larger, broader reality.

I am a London-based motion graphic designer, and film maker, with an interest in science fiction and visualisation. Becoming One is a personal project, made over five months, in between freelance work.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the film - I hope you enjoy it.

I can’t believe no one has commented on this yet.

This is a fantastic piece of work! Beautifully rendered and presented, perhaps a little long winded…but regardless I thoroughly enjoyed watching.

Did you create all the visuals yourself?

Hey,
thanks so much for your comments, guys!
Yeah, I did the visuals on my own, and had some contributions just for the script editing, audio mix as well as getting someone to do the voiceover.
Really grateful for your kind words - thank you!
