Lacerian

Lacerian is a short I've had in mind for a while. The idea of what would happen when companies start terraforming planets and the indigenous life forms fight back. Due to the scope of this project, it will take some time to complete, but so far has provided an amazing opportunity to try various approaches to cameras, workflows and more specific facets such as dynamic integration into my animation process. Very excited to see this one develop.

You can see the previz here. The opening sequence is going to be entirely redone as archival footage from the fictional company, Arkitech Industries. You can see a closer representation below. The rest of the shots follow the events of a terraforming gone wrong. The character cut in half at the start is the security bot. The lighting coming off the human character is from his suit. Lastly, this is still previz, so the edit is changing, especially near the end with the arm rip.
