Terra
Terra is an animated short film in which dust, gravity and man-made ruins are the main subjects. The film runs for about five minutes, uses an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is set to the music track E2 by the band Muay. Terra is presented as a tribute to architecture, technology, science fiction cinema and music. The work was created with 3ds Max and Corona Renderer, with editing and color correction in Adobe software. Animation, camera work and lighting were made by hand, while collisions, explosions and cracks were simulated with plugins. Brutalist forms guided the visual direction.
