Becoming One - Scifi Short Film
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:44 am
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.

Work in Progress / shot breakdowns at: http://www.becoming-one.net
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.
