MMP2 - After Us

The MMP2 is called ‘After Us’ and it's a fully 3D animated short movie with a length of about one and a half minutes. In multiple shots, it showcases the absence of humans which lost their power against technology. The action takes place in a City which is overgrown by vegetation that has since overtaken all buildings and structures. The goal is not to hate on AI but rather to sensibilize people of the risks of artificial intelligence and what consequences it might have for future generations. A crucial part for the MMP2 are the subtle hints of the events that led to a mass destruction of humans that will keep the viewer interested to keep on watching. Through clues like flying newspapers, destroyed buildings and futuristic technology there will be a constant tension that something went wrong which killed the people in the city. With a final big reveal in the last shot we want to further push the idea of human self-destruction through their own creations. The city and its buildings are inspired by real-world locations. We don’t want to recreate it to an extent that is indistinguishable from reality, but we want to capture the feel and style of a real city. To achieve this goal all structures, props and foliage are self-made and modeled by hand. To support the core concept of this movie the animation is kept in a realistic style. The project is setup in the 3d package Blender and rendered with the realtime render engine Eevee.
