About Terra Cortometraggio d'animazione
Terra è un cortometraggio d'animazione in cui polvere, gravità e rovine artificiali sono i soggetti principali. Il film dura circa cinque minuti, utilizza un rapporto d'aspetto di 2.35:1 ed è accompagnato dal brano musicale E2 della band Muay. Terra si presenta come un omaggio all'architettura, alla tecnologia, al cinema di fantascienza e alla musica. L'opera è stata realizzata con 3ds Max e Corona Renderer, con montaggio e correzione colore effettuati in software Adobe. Animazione, movimenti di camera e illuminazione sono stati curati manualmente, mentre collisioni, esplosioni e fratture sono state simulate tramite plugin. Le forme brutaliste hanno guidato la direzione visiva.

- 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
