Blending reality and parallel universes
The project of merging reality and a parallel universe in Blender was an ambitious undertaking. The primary challenge was to create a 3D model of an escalator that matched the real one at Aquaboulevard in Paris and make it behave as accurately as possible. I aimed to weave a captivating story around a glitching reality, where the viewer would experience a chilling encounter with no clipping and poolrooms. The nightmare vibe I sought to recreate prompted me to experiment with sound design, enhancing the eerie atmosphere.
Animation and video editing
Combining the real footage with the Blender animation required a careful synchronization of keyframes, camera movements, and storytelling. The process of creating the escalator scene involved meticulous animation work to achieve a seamless match with the real environment. The dark, chaotic universe with a giant flood approaching was a significant technical and creative challenge. By playing with light and physics, I aimed to amplify the sense of dread and desperation as the protagonist attempted to escape the impending disaster.
Pushing thought Blender possibilities
Creating this video in Blender was an immersive journey of artistic exploration. It exposed me to new aspects of physics simulation, liquid dynamics, and the intricacies of light manipulation to convey emotions effectively. The experience of crafting a storyline that blended reality and the unknown in a nightmare-inspired setting pushed me to step outside my comfort zone. As I woke up to the possibilities of mixing animation and live-action footage, I felt humbled by the vast potential of Blender as a versatile tool for artistic expression.
To conclude...
The project of mixing reality and parallel universes in Blender was a thrilling adventure that challenged my animation skills and artistic vision. Experimenting with sound design, manipulating light and physics, and crafting a nightmarish story allowed me to explore new dimensions of creativity. While the journey was demanding, I embraced the process with passion and humility, recognizing that there is always more to learn and discover in the world of animation and video editing. This experience has fueled my determination to keep pushing the boundaries of my artistic abilities and to continue exploring the fascinating possibilities that Blender offers.
