About Nomad انیمیشن لنډ فلم
نوماد د امازون د بارانی ځنګل د راتلونکې په اړه یو ساینسي تخیلي انیمیشن لنډ فلم دی. دا فلم یو متحرک ښار ښیي چې کولی شي د امازون قبیلې نویو د استوګنې وړ سیمو ته ولېږدوي کله چې یو ځای نور د انساني ژوند ملاتړ ونشي کولی. په نوماد کې ماشینونه میخانیکي جوړښت ساتي خو د فلزاتو پر ځای په عمده توګه له طبیعي موادو څخه جوړ شوي دي. دا د طبیعت څخه الهام اخیستل شوی چلند د دودیزو ماشینونو له سړوالي څخه ډډه کوي او ښار ته د ژوندیتوب احساس ورکوي. لومړی سکیچونه او سټوري بورډونه جوړ شول، ورپسې ماډلنګ، انیمیشن، رینډرنګ او کمپوزیټنګ ترسره شول. د کرکټرونو لپاره موشن کیپچر وکارول شو.

- Unique Properties
- The mechanical design in the video has a unique style: while it retains a mechanical structure, it primarily uses natural materials instead of metal. Through this nature inspired mechanical approach, the design aims to portray a human city that values nature, reflecting a vision for future cities—harmony between humans and the environment. This design breaks away from the coldness of traditional machinery, giving it a sense of vitality that resonates with the audience and enhances their immersive experience.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 4K Video. Screened on a large display.

- Production Technology
- First created design sketches and storyboards in Photoshop, then modeled in Blender. Used Cinema4D for scene building, animation, rendering, and simulations, and finally composited everything in After Effects. The character movements were captured using motion capture technology.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was how to create a worldview that respects nature in the context of a high tech future. Many futuristic films, such as those with cyberpunk aesthetics, often depict highly mechanized cities, which conflict with the message of nature conservation the project aimed to convey. To address this issue, multiple discussions were held, ultimately leading to the adoption of a biomimetic approach, designing a city that embodies advanced technology while coexisting harmoniously with nature.
- Research
- This project originated from MIT Media Lab's City Science Group research on Amazonian tribes, focusing on the Amazon rainforest's decline due to human activity. Collaborating with scholars and urban designers, the team explored the tribes' beliefs, such as shamanism and totems. Their findings suggest that future Amazonian tribes may continue to respect nature and build cities that harmonize with the environment, shaping the film's worldview and production.
- Inspiration
- This scifi animation short was created in 2023, with a focus on environmental protection. By 2024, due to urban expansion, the forest cover in the eastern Amazon had decreased by 31 percent. This inspired the project to reflect on how humans should coexist harmoniously with nature in the future. The concept envisioned a city capable of moving freely; when a location can no longer sustain human activity, it would transport the Amazonian tribes to new habitable areas, achieving a dynamic balance of natural resources.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2023 in MIT Media Lab in Boston and finished in January 2024, and was exhibited in Brooklyn Film Festival, D ARCH Film Festival, A plus D museum in Los Angeles, and METAXIS plus PROMPT Festival in Budapest in 2024.
- Operation Flow
- This animation uses a widescreen cinematic aspect ratio, and the music is highly aesthetic. It is best suited for viewing in a completely dark environment, such as a cinema, with a large screen or projector. The audience will experience an immersive and ultimate audiovisual experience.
