About Terra Animated na Maikling Pelikula

Ang Terra ay isang animated na maikling pelikula kung saan ang alikabok, grabidad at mga guhong gawa ng tao ang pangunahing mga paksa. Ang pelikula ay tumatakbo ng humigit-kumulang limang minuto, gumagamit ng aspect ratio na 2.35:1 at nilapatan ng musikang E2 ng bandang Muay. Ang Terra ay iniharap bilang isang pagpupugay sa arkitektura, teknolohiya, science fiction na sinema at musika. Ang obra ay nilikha gamit ang 3ds Max at Corona Renderer, na may pag-edit at color correction sa Adobe software. Ang animation, camera work at pag-iilaw ay ginawa nang mano-mano, habang ang mga banggaan, pagsabog at bitak ay sinimula gamit ang mga plugin. Ang mga anyong Brutalist ang gumabay sa biswal na direksyon.

Production Technology: We wanted to implement as much of our daily work flow as possible, so our setup did not deviate much from the industry standard. We used 3ds Max with Corona Renderer, and
Adobe After Effects and Premiere for editing and color correction.
Our approach was straightforward, with us solving problems as we encountered them and
embracing limitations as part of the creative process. We were more concerned with the results than with realistic physics – if it looked good, me would move on. All the animation, camera work, and lighting were done by hand. The only exceptions were the rock collisions, explosions, and cracks, for which we used the Phoenix FD plugin and tyFlow to simulate various effects.
Design Challenge: Curiously enough, the most difficult part was probably working free from the constraints of a client: with endless possibilities, it is hard to establish boundaries. Between the music, story, and visuals, it was not easy to strike the right balance. Occasionally, we went too far while experimenting and had to dial it down a notch.
Research: Terra finds its primary inspiration in a fusion of Sci-Fi movies, utopian ideals and stories, music, ancient machines, the solidity of rocks, and the aesthetic of brutalism.As we were not used to work with this aesthetic, we submerged ourselves in movies like 'The
Tragedy of Macbeth, Lighthouse, and Sin City. We also consulted the photography of Saul Leiter
and Sebasião Salgado. All of these references helped us to understand how, in the absence of
color, we can use contrast as a shaping, and eye-guiding tool. Consequently, lighting direction,
camera movement, and post-production went hand in hand at all times.
Inspiration: Terra finds its primary inspiration in a fusion of Sci-Fi movies, utopian ideals and stories, music, ancient machines, the solidity of rocks, and the aesthetic of brutalism. Examples:
Project Duration: This project started in August 2022 and was finished in February 2023. Was writen, directed and produce on our studio, with the help of Rebus Farm.
Operation Flow: Watch it and listen to it.
