Process and Behind the Scenes for WEB 5000.0 Intro.

Collected scenes from the intro, and some of the worldbuilding that went into this short. there were a lot of massive scale environments created to achieve some of the longer shots. Heavy use of volumes for fog, and Houdini for creating both the world and its ruins and subsequent destruction.

Web 5000.0 Intro Made for Hellavision Television

A mythological retelling about the rise and fall of The Internet.

This was the first short animation where I worked with others to really get this off the ground and finished over the early Fall. It was a considerably ambitious project that was only possible with a lot of help from my friends! You guys are the best ever! Thank you so so much to everyone that contributed to this, and helped me with the vision and direction over the course. I had a lot of ideas rolling about creating an “end of the internet” type animation this past year, and i’m really glad to have synthesized that into this animation! Thank you to all those who attended Hellavision Television screenings across the Globe, and thank you for all the super kind words. This was such a fun episode to curate. Even at the End of The Internet, there are still pockets of cool people doing cool things.
