The end of evolution awaits in a wasteland dominated by bizarre trash formations, dust and rock. From the scattered remains of a long forgotten culture an electric ecosystem rapidly evolves into the ultimate form of existence...
The mechanical life form Ohm inhabits a bleak and devastated planet. The thousands of mechanical creatures of this world share a single cycle of energy. In this cycle, Ohm is a rogue element. His nature is to devour and absorb others. When one day a gargantuan foreign object appears in the skies. Drawn in by mysterious creatures of light, the Ohm tracks them across the planet, changing the known order of matter, time and space.
Andy Goralczyk has finished his epic project and he's going to blow your mind!

Our epic 18 minutes Stop Motion / Blender short film OMEGA is finally out online!
The film is a mixture of traditional stop motion and CGI, it features elaborate set extensions, miniatures, puppets composed with computer generated backgrounds and a lot of weird creatures!
It was produced between 2009 and 2012 and we were featured here every now and then. We used Blender alongside After Effects for compositing (that was before the compositor got its speed upgrade, now we would probably use Blender only). The last two scenes are entirely CG - animated and rendered in Blender.
Directed by Eva Franz and Andy Goralczyk this extraordinary animated short film fuses high-end CGI and photographic images, miniature sets and traditional stop-motion puppet animation.

I've been watching for this to come out for eons! So excited! I know what I'll be doing on my lunch break today!
Amazing. Very well done. My son thought it was sad.
Breathtaking stop motion, makes this short very unique in terms of visual style and atmosphere. Look at these rocks, bizarre creatures, landscapes - simply mind-blowing, as Bart has mentioned!
Fantastic! Great sense of scale and weight! Great believability in the machines as living!
Amazing visuals and mood. Reminded me a bit of Tsutomu Nihei too.
just amazing, the audio design is astounding as well as the sense of scale that it has. really well done!
